Are their emotions really different
than straight people when it comes to love?


Yes

You're a ****, Art.


Let's be honest, a straight person wouldn't have
knowledge of the emotions typical of a gay person, nor
would a gay person have any knowledge of the emotions
typical of a straight person. We can 'imagine' and
presume all we want. But it is obvious the straight
and gays think about sex differntly, and have different
sexual desires from each other. So, I could 'imagine'
that their emotions regarding gay coupling could be
somewhat different of those between straight couples.
Furthermore, in straight couples, one of the components
of their emotional bonding is the experience of birthing a child
that shares teh thenetic code form each. And, for a man,
there is the emtional bonding of seeing your wife giv birth to
the child you impregnated her with. As it is phyisically
impossible for gay couples to experience this, their
emotional attachments would not include the emotions of
this experience, and thus their emotions would be somewhat differen,
missing this component, as well as for the other reasons stated.

My objection to Boon's comment is that he is just
projecting what he would wish the answer to be.

I left my original answer short and sweet, knowing that
someone would jump the gun with a presumption
that it was a blanket anti-gay statement, which it is not.
I wondered who it would be.

I think that we need to recognize that gays are a little different
than straight people. Hell, if they weren't different, they would
be straight!. I support equal rights for gays. They can marry
one of the opposite sex, like a staright person, or form some
other type of civil union with a person of the same sex. Of course,
a straight person could do likewise. As far as discrimination in housing,
employment, public facilities, etc, they should no havve to face that
at all. Rights of survivorship, critical life/death decisions, insurance,
health care, etc. should be recognized for gay couples.

I don't dislike gays, I have been around a number of them, and
I know some very well. But my experience is that typically they
are not qite like typical straight people. Some might say
vive la difference, and that is ok with me, I would agree with that.
But let's not pretend that they are the same. And I think that
the difference is the way we think and feel about
certain things.


Still no good reason to prevent gay people from getting married to each
other. It harms nobody. It does nothing to diminish the institution of
marriage.

People with body piercings must have different thoughts or emotions from
other people or they would be non-pierced.

There are as many examples of sexuality as you can imagine and probably some
you can't, but these people can marry each other if they are of the ooposite
sex, no matter how ****in' wierd you think they are.

Being a homosexual, for whatever reason, (genetics, choice, who knows) is
not a reason to not be allowed to express you commitment in marriage.
