Your Stories of how Gay Marriage ruined your Marriage

[Google]

We've been hearing for a very long time about how allowing gays to marry legally in this country (or even in other countries) will ruin marriage altogether. Well, legalized gay marriage has been a reality in 10+ years in some places.....share with us your stories of how it has ruined yours, or someone you know's, marriage.

Post your stories here.

This posts shows a stunning lack of understanding about the argument for traditional marriage. This is a strawman argument that does not address anything substantive.

The real issue is if the union of a man and woman, capable of producing children, is different from that of a homosexual relationship. Marriage is an intuition which was conceived to protect children and place legal responsibilities on fathers and mothers. It is not a government affirmation of a couple's love.

But this social experiment does not go far enough in your mind, I'm sure. We should extent this experiment to the raising of children. Over 85% of all newly contracted AIDs victims are homosexual men. Mental illness is prevalent among the homosexual community. Claiming, with religious zealotry, that homosexual lifestyle is healthy does not make it so. We do not know what the consequences of such an experiment, but I believe it is prudent to move with caution.

AIDS spreads by unprotected promiscuous sex.....so..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................let's not encourage monogamy within a marriage.




Makes perfect sense, eh?

You continue to show an ignorance about this issue. You obviously do not understand the intricacies and underlying social motivations that lie behind the statistic "85% of newly contracted AIDs is gay men". Would allowing gay marriage prevent the prevalence, despite over three decades of championing safe sex in the homosexual community, of gay men to engage in high risk behavior? The threat of contracting a deadly disease did not stop it, why would radically altering an institution meant to protect children stop it?

You do not have an understanding about this issue, but that certainly will not stop you from posting your childlike arguments.

The whole deal comes down to "so what?" So what if someone who opposes gay marriage has the weakest of reasons? The truth is that whenever the issue is brought before the people it has been turned down by a relatively wide bi-partisan margin. The ONLY reason that gay marriage is legal in most states is because ONE judge said so. In PA the ruling of ONE judge will not be appealed according to the Governor. Why? In my opinion because it is an election year.

Never the less whenever we vote is the question ever asked, "do you have a good reason for voting the way you do?"

What we get is BS threads like this one that asks for defense of a statement never made. The flying monkeys then all chime in.

What's aids got to do with marriage? Not all gay couples are childless, and not all straight couples have kids, and straights give their partners STD sometimes.

I think you gotta come up with a better strawman.

I think the argument is the apparent harm homosexual activity causes. Which is a weak one considering that heterosexual activity causes a whole lot also.

Please tell us your stories of how marriage equality has infringed on your civil and religious liberties?

There isn't such a thing as "marriage equality". Polygamists, incest, minors, gays, none of them can be married in all but 3 states.

This topic is a non sequitor. The subject isn't whether or not a bizarre sexual orientation/imprinting can harm another marriage. It's what harm the message we send to children that "gay is the acme of social achievement [marriage]" is.

With HIV rampant and the main vector of spreading that being attempting to reproduce with the lower intestinal tract ["anal sex"], we owe it to kids in their formative years to not encourage them in any way to pursue that activity.

But the author of this thread already knows that. His bid is to divert..

but polls more and more show maj support for gay marriage. If you don't like the thread, that's personal choice. Imo, it makes a valid pt. Personally I couldn't care less about gay marriage one way or another, beyond thinking what someone else does isn't my biz unless I'm hurt somehow.

Here's another sad one.....

Gay marriage ruined my life. I have been silent until now, comforted by the knowledge that only a few renegade states allow the despicable practice. But when I saw that the debate was being held at the highest level, I decided to share my story, so that more people could better understand the disastrous effects that gay marriage would have on the American family.

I was happily married to my high school sweetheart for seven years and we had a five-year-old son named Bobby, whom we of course conceived in wedlock. We had a nice home in Iowa, in a town full of hard working, God-fearing Americans, who respected the sacred institution of marriage. Then one day a gay couple moved in next to us and my life began to unravel.

It started with my son. He saw the couple kiss one day and asked why, "Those men are kissing each other, the way you and mommy do?"

I explained that God gave us free will, the right to choose our own actions, and that some people use this free will to choose negative actions, like engaging in sodomy, bestiality, or ingesting black tar heroin. He was so upset by their choice to be gay that the next day, while playing on the jungle gym, he slipped, fell, and broke his arm. The school nurse called my wife, who was busy placing an apple pie on the windowsill to cool, but I had taken our only car to work, so she was forced to ask our gay neighbors to borrow their car, which they allowed, clearly knowing what would happen next.

While texting me the upsetting news about our son, my wife ran a red light, was t-boned by an 18 wheeler, and died immediately.

Inconsolable, my life splintered like the bones in my son’s arm, I turned to the only thing that could truly bring me comfort: black tar heroin. Now orphaned and confused, my son began a romantic relationship with a donkey and started his own business replacing hotel Bibles with the Koran.

This story is not easy for me to tell, but I have scraped myself out of a gutter (literally) and glued my fingernails back on so that I can type this for you. We must act. We must not let the communists in the White House ruin the American family, and with it, the American way of life that was so carefully constructed by the founding fathers, and blessed by our Lord.

Someone is confused about the topic.

I find that many are. For example, those who are confused between the marriage of two consenting adults and criminal acts against minors...or animals. They cannot seem to tell the difference.

That being said......still looking for some stories of how legalized gay marriage has ruined someone's marriage.

Post your anecdotal evidence here.

Strawman argument is a strawman argument. Being against Judical fiat gay marriage does not mean you have to think it can ruin someone else's marriage.

Using your tactic, tell me how the pistol owned by your law abiding neighbor and concealed carried all these years has ruined your life somehow.

My neighbor shot his wife and daughter with a pistol. A pistol was used as a weapon in a drive by shooting in the East End two blocks from my nephew's home.

Meanwhile, a same sex couple three doors from me got married, bought the home they were renting, installed new windows, roof and siding and bought their wedding invitations from my brother's print shop.

But how did MY pistol affect you?

The opinion for marriage equality has been pro majority for four years and is growing.

Public opinion of same-sex marriage in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From Wikipedia, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Public opinion polls in the United States since 2010 show majority support for legal recognition of same-sex marriage. Majority public support for same-sex marriage has solidified, as polls since 2010 consistently indicate support above 50%.[1] Support has increased steadily for more than a decade, with supporters first achieving a majority in 2010.[2][3][4][5] An August 2010 CNN poll became the first national poll to show majority support for same-sex marriage,[6] with nearly all subsequent polls showing majority support.[7][8][9][10]

Support for same-sex marriage generally correlates with younger age (younger than 50),[11] higher education, and residence in the Northeast, West Coast[12] and some parts of the Midwest, and lack of religious fundamentalism. Women are also more likely to be in support than men.[8][13]

Oh, gays increase property value. I do not have any problem having gay neighbors, they take great care of their property.

If you were to look at the age demographics of the support posture; it trends ever younger which spells real trouble for the conservative dominated Republican party. Whereas LGBT are a very small voting block, those sympathetic to their issues represent an enormous, dual-gender, multi-cultural demographic.

It would be nice for one of the "manly men" here to ask the other "internet tough guys" what they are so afraid of but I guess that's not in the code of the knuckle-draggers; to call out another homophobe in public.

 

[Nosmo King]

Same old tired BS coming from the liberal lying left. Sure makes it easy for them when they define what the other side wants and then expect the other side to argue against what they have made up.

It is a lie and all the flying monkeys circle chiming in to support the lie.

The reason that the liberal left has to ask questions like in the OP is because they can't find where anyone who opposes their idea said what they are asking. Again, it is just another bit of flying monkey BS we can expect from liberals.

Then why would anyone be in opposition to marriage equality? If it causes no harm, allows fort equal access to the marriage contract and continues to be the primary stabilizing force in society, why the opposition?

Until two centuries ago, said Harvard historian Nancy Cott, "monogamous households were a tiny, tiny portion" of the world population, found in "just Western Europe and little settlements in North America."

My 2 female co workers went to New Hampshire to get married and I just cannot stop wondering what goes on in their bedroom, and my wife left me because of that.

Implying political disagreement is the same as bashing gay people with bibles is wrong and repugnant. Eat a neg you asshole.

 

[bendog]

What's the basis for opposition unless it's essentially one's morals? There's no validly proven effect on traditional marriage or society as a whole.

But, that would be the fault of "liberalized divorce laws" in Rabbi's post #6. ^^

Obsessing over hot lesbian sex can cost you your marriage.

Ah...but that's hot lesbian sex....not hot lesbian marriage, H_G.

I think I'll stick with watching the hot lesbian sex part.

Its objection due to the process used. I have no objection to the states changing the marriage contract they recognize via legislative action. However there is no RIGHT to gay marriage in the federal constitution, just as there is no right to abortion in it. These are derived concepts created by a judicial branch that has been exceeding its mandate for the past 30 years.
