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.
What unique emotions are you referring to?
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.
"emotional bonding"... that’s a “health illusion,” one
that serves society. The reality is that half of all marriages
end in divorce leaving a significant portion of all children
with single parents who suffer economic hardships.
And, for a man, there is the emtional bonding of seeing
your wife giv birth to the child you impregnated her with.
"emotional bonding"... tell that to the Friend of the Court.
A significant portion of all divorced men fail to pay child
support to the extent of their obligation. You're living
under a false illusion.
As it is phyisically impossible for gay couples to experience
this...
So if a couple adopts a child they have missed an
important component, straight or gay, of marriage?
I think that we need to recognize that gays are a little
different than straight people.
Yea, so? This country was founded on diversity
which is thought to strengthen society.
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.
What is certain is that you are living under a false
illusion

.
I’m uncertain about how you personally feel
threatened by this and/or how society would be
threatened. The core issue for the government
is whether or not to give gay couples a *legal
bundle of rights” that married couples have.
