East, don't give me that "you left the Bronx" crap, like I don't know what I'm talking about, although I loved Nicky's comment about Serbia!
As for the age of my children, how is the conversation about same sex marriage different from a conversation about homosexuality itself. The fact that Aunt Susie and Aunt Joan are a couple, married or not, is the conversation that you may have trouble with, not whether Susie and Joan can marry. To a child, that's irrelevant. How would you explain any couple living together that isn't married?
First off, watching TV and preaching abou the plight of the inner city and pretending to know the what's going on doesn't qualify you as an expert! It would be like me telling you how life in the suburbs is as a mother and what the best dish washing fluid is! And always taking your hard line, look at me saving the world position when it comes to anything is old. I get it, your suburban housewife view has it all figured out.
Stop twisting my words to suit your argument, I've never argued against gays. I've argued that the shouldn't legally marry! If you want to talk Constitution and Bill of Rights you must first realize they were written by men utilizing the "laws of nature" which are the laws of God! And we all know God says homosexual behavior is a NO NO! And the conversation I have to have is with CHILDREN! Not young adults! Huge difference. When you get done screaming and framing your beliefs down people's throat you'll wake up to learn the first lesson in speech making is KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!
I do believe that no Church, if it's doctrine states that homosexuality is a sin, should suddenly conduct same sex marriage. However, the Bill of Rights recognizes that we are ALL created equal and that we are guaranteed the right to live a life of liberty and one in the pursuit of happiness. That means that the rights granted to one must be granted to all. If I have the right to marry, then my gay neighbor should also be granted that right. The same 14th amendment that protects me protects all and makes sure that we are all equal under the law. If we're all equal, then why can't everyone marry??
