[quote=CHYNAGYRL,255495]I think general society still has fear and revulsion at what gay people (esp men) do behind closed doors.  The image they promote is flamboyant and overtly sexual.  I went to the Toronto Gay Pride Parade (largest in North America, attracts 2 million visitors a year), and this is what I saw: Naked guys walking down the street in their chains and leather gear, Naked women sitting around with boobies hanging to their bellies, lots of free condoms flying around, atmosphere of "free sex" and business cards for gay bars, lots of transvestites, very strange looking people, some handsome, well-groomed gay guys with oiled, hard bodies, dancing on floats.  It was very interesting, but it is definitely not a family event.  Some family-oriented people were upset when they saw that.  It's really an adult event because of it's overtly sexual content and all the naked people walking around.

Bob, I understand that the gay couples in your area are decent and responsible parents.  I wish that those kind of gay people would predominate and have a higher profile in my area.  In Toronto, we have open minds towards gay people, and we legalized gay marriage also!!   but our image of them is still highly shaped by our annual gay parade.  It makes them look perverted, highly sexed, and also having mental problems.  The transvestites seem confused about their identity and somehow sad too in their lifestyle.

What does this have to do with gay marriage?  Regular couples don't identify with this image of gay people, and believe that gay people have a "separate" culture and therefore need a unique category to fulfill their needs and rights in our society.  Even some people at the gym think gay people should have their own washroom because they are a separate gender, not male, not female, a special group.

And nature has created many imperfections.  Most humans have flaws, some of us more than others.  We only need to look at history to see how we are imperfect.  There are many genetic illnesses like inherited cancer genes, chemical imbalance in the brain...  Could it be that homosexuality is a kind of genetic illness?  People with this illness can function very well in many ways, but... I don't see their marriage as being the same as the one in heterosexual culture... if you believe so, then you need to persuade us as to why...[/quote]
