[quote=PYGRANT,255372]I saw your statement. My question is: Why does that naturally follow from supporting same sex marriage? The are gay famialies in my neighborhood - the values and behaviors they support are the same as most of my neighbors. They may have had to produce their children in a slightly different way, but they love them as much as I do mine. I see them supporting their children at PTA meetings, and in local youth organizations of various kinds. To be sure, these are long standing monagamous relations, but that is also something we value. I see that by not sactioning gay marriage, we depreive those in that marriage from some societal benefits: I don't understand why accepting gay marriage should have much effect on on marriages like mine or yours - My marriage is one that my spouse and I have generated over many years of learning to live together - it is not affected by whether my neighbors have a "civil union" or a "marriage". Neither will it affect the ethuical values I live by and try to pass on to my children. Also, many more long standing and monagamous gay relationships tend to not have children than similar heterosexual relations, so if they were not a part of "nature" as we know it, it would long since have died out in the population. Perhaps you have formulated better reasons for your stance than I can think of, and I would be interested in hearing them. I am truly interested in this subject, and would like to hear your reasoning. thanks Bob Grant (pygrant)[/quote]
