Heterosexuals' Opinions

praetorian412 I completely agree. I couldn't have said it better myself. The reason why this issue is being "shoved down peoples throats" is because it is a MAJOR issue. It has been going on for a LONG time whether gay marriage should be made legal. Personally I believe it should, everyone is entitled to be happy whether they are gay or not. It is extremely unfair that people who are gay are being treated differently, they aren't any different at all, they just happen to be attracted to the same gender. It is like praetorian412 said imagine you and your partner..the one you shared the good and the bad times with and the one you leaned on for support were hated and not accepted by society because of your sexual orientation, because of who you loved and for being "different"....not very fair is it? If I was Shel Grandy I would have done the same thing whether I was gay or not because people deserve the right marry the one they love and to be happy. Personally I am very proud of John Stamos for taking on this role, it is an extremely important role and a movie with a very important message.

Well, Well, you have something else to gripe about don't you.You know nothing about me and yet you take out of text something I was writing to someone else about. You don't even know what I was talking about. Have fun and HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Oh remember what Christmas is all about. CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY.

Someone mentioned that people become gay because they were molested. Most people who molest children (about 95%) indicate that their sexual orientation is heterosexual. If I had a choice of leaving my child with a gay or straight couple, I'd choose the gay couple everytime. Much, much safer.
I had an uncle who was married to his partner for 25 years. When they "divorced" in the 1960s, everyone in the family was devastated. I was born in the 50's. I grew up in a Christian home and didn't realize that there was any difference between gay and straight relationships. The big deal for my family was stable versus unstable relationships. The gender of the partners didn't matter. My best friend's parent divorced when she was 10 and her father "married" his true love, a man. They were so perfect together. I just loved the love. Never even occurred to me that there was anything wrong. Hell, they were two adults in a loving relationships. I always considered gay relationships normal.
When I was in my 30s I learned about homophobia and that people were actually killing other people because of their sexual orientation. That's crazy, sick, totally bizarre. I want society to get to the place where two consenting adults can fall in love and marry if they choose to. I loved Wedding Wars because it demonstrated that love is love and it's beautiful no matter what genders are involved.
Just a little pet peeve of mind: I am so tired of the hetero-love bump and grind we are being served on TV shows and movies. It's boring and oh so painful to watch. I loved the tenderness that the writers used to express the love between Shel and Ted. My favorite scene is the when Ted sends food, and then later when he stops by with a pillow, blanket, and change of clothes for Shel. Geez!! that was powerfully sweet. I also loved their physical expressions of love. Beautifully done. So for me, I want more gay love stories. It feels more like romance to me.
Oh for those viewers (mostly women) who feel rejected because John Stamos is playing a CHARACTER in love with a man, too bad. I find the man soooo!! sexy and the best eyecandy I've seen in awhile. They can put him opposite a man or woman and I'm still gonna watch him because the man is total eyecandy.

i wholeheartedly agree with you who are we to judge someone who wants to get married? i really thing that if you love someone and you aren't hurting them then they should be able to be united in marriage . who cares what the world thinks of them it they who have to look at them selves and if they are happy then what the hell let them go on doing what they are doing. AND i have a question to all the "homosexual" men and women out there .... Do you want to get married? everyone is talking about it but i haven't seen a post that says i'm gay and i wanna get married... so do you? and if you do, do you really care what us "hetrosexuals" really
think?
personally i think it's a shame that a bunch of people...humans are being bullied and told what to do and who they can and cannot marry. i'm not that old yet and i remember when people made a big deal over interacial marriage and all i could think was why ? if they love eachother then why does it matter what anyone else thinks. i hope that someday all humans will just get over themselves and realize that there are different races , different sexualitys and just plain different people out there. and EVERY ONE DESERVES LOVE .

To quote Hetero Canadian Chick:

>My fave gay t.v. personality is Clinton from TLC's >What Not To Wear. Anywho, I was just wondering what people >think of him versus what people think of Carson from Queer >Eye for the Straight Guy. Personally, I can't stand Carson! >He totally gets on my nerves!

Lol. Hetero Canadian Chick, Clinton is married to Stacy, the other stylist on that show. He isn't gay. lol. But thank you for your support in our fight!

Ladybug, first, according to the Bible, Jesus did NOT create animals as you stated. God did. And in reality, homosexuality is PERVASIVE in the animal world.

The presence of same-sex sexual behavior in nature and the animal kingdom (and let's be factual: mankind is just an evolutionally-advanced, highly-intelligent species of animal)seems to give the lie to attempts by religio-fanatics of every stripe that homosexuality is "unnatural." It appears to be widespread among insects, birds and mammals, particularly the apes. Many male penguins that apparently mate for life have been observed in homosexual pairs but do pair with female couples when given the chance unlike previously thought. Approximately eight percent of [male] rams exhibit sexual preferences [that is, even when given a choice] for male partners (male-oriented rams) in contrast to most rams, which prefer female partners (female-oriented rams). The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual. Such sexual behavior has been documented only relatively recently. Zoologists have been accused of skirting round the subject for fear of stepping into a political minefield.

"There was a lot of hiding of what was going on, I think, because people were maybe afraid that they would get into trouble by talking about it," notes prominent zoologist, Frans de Waal. Whether it's a good idea or not, it's hard not make comparisons between humans and other animals, especially primates. The fact that homosexuality does, after all, exist in the natural world is proof that people who insist homosexual relationships are unnatural are uninformed, MISinformed or just plain old, everyday bigoted.

Great points toner!!!! I too am gay and was NEVER sexualy abused in any way, shape, or form. It is NOT A LEARNED BEHAVIOR... IT IS INSTICT. Just like our hearts just know to beat and our lungs just know to breath.. we just know about our sexuality. That's all there is to it. There is nothing that can turn a true heterosexual into a homosexual, and vice-versa.
