I just want to say thanks to Gov. Christine Gregoire. Even though I am not gay, I believe that gay and lesbian couples should have every right to be happy.

Marriage is not a religious institution. No church wedding is legal unless a valid marriage license has been issued by the state. Marriages were not even performed in christian churches until the 11 th century. Many non-relgious people get married evey day in civil marriage ceremonies. Christian fanatics trying to force their primnitive superstitions on everybody is a typical christian tactic to promote their agenda.

I never asked you to believe in God. (Even though everyone should, but that's unnecessary right now.)

GET OVER IT?????

How?

How am I supposed to get over it if I live in Washington?

This issue personally affects me. I once loved Washington, and now I feel betrayed now by this sick Governor my parents pay taxes for.

What am I supposed to do? Greet these gays with a smile and hope my children don't become gay?

Exactly WHY I'm leaving Washington....Goodbye Gregoire....

Okay, okay fine! You win!

Since you seem to be the smart one, how about you teach ME how I should raise my children?

What? Let them become emo and smoke crack?

Are you saying I should not have any grip on my kids? and let them do whatever they want, since "kids are going to make their own decisions and I will not like every decision they make"?

Correct use of intolerance brings up standards, morality, discipline, and control. How else are parents in control of kids? By spoiling?

@nellanosaj71

That is very much your own opinion. Your friend may be "great", but what about to others?

The reason why I advocate "traditional" families, is because science has proved that a mother and a father is ideal for a child's brain development. (I care about children. They have rights too, and should live to become smart like us.)

I am not asking gays to believe me. They can see for themselves in the inevitable future, when they see ubiquitous kids with emotional problems.

@Nellanosaj71. Sure dipshit whatever you say!

[nellanosaj71]

@Pacethemace9 It is not as bad as being brainwashed into believing in a gOD that doesn't exist or a book that is just a book written by man in hopes of controlling people. I hope your kids are gay, then what? Will you disown them? I bet you do. Intolerance is your badge!

[nellanosaj71]

@Prestothemusic You see, I am no better than they are, only have a different belief structure. I don't believe in silly things like gOD or the collection of fairy tales you call the bible. There are a few rules I do live by like treat others as you would want to be treated. It's so much easier to be human than it is to be Christian, Mormon, Muslim, Hindu, Protestant, Catholic...etc. You are no better than ANYONE else. So, the ONLY thing I have left to say it GET OVER IT!

[nellanosaj71]

@Prestothemusic There is your intolerance again. Again, your kids are going to make their own decisions, you will not like every decision they make. I would hope (for your sake) that if your kids wanted to have a same sex marriage you would come to terms with that. But from your little rants, I am willing to bet you would set them down and try to pray away the gay wouldn't you. I see Polygamists all the time. while I don't agree with the lifestyle, I won't judge them for it.

[nellanosaj71]

@Prestothemusic One of my best friends grew up having two mothers. He is a great NON JUDGMENTAL person, who is a great father to his daughter. Secondly, a former girlfriend of mine had two fathers growing up. Never have I seen better children raised. You can take your sacred ideals and sleep happy that your kids have both parents. How dare you condemn any who don't have traditional families. It is none of your god damn business who marries who.

[Prestothemusic]

@nellanosaj71

Very well then. I shall access my children to all of their American freedoms if FREEDOM is your favorite arguement.

Fine, I will give my children the freedom to marry.

But what if my kids ask me about POLYGAMY then? What should I do about that??

"Daddy? Can I be gay?"

"Uh...sure?"

"Can I also marry five wives when I grow up?"

"No son, it's wrong."

"BUT IT'S MY FREEDOM TO MARRY! Fuck you dad!"

Uh...that's what happens when you give children freedom.....okay? Not pretty....

[Prestothemusic]

@nellanosaj71

Are you asking me to not control my kids?

How do you know children will be fine with two mothers or fathers? Is that personal opinion? Look up the science of how a family works, for second will ya?

I am simply guiding my children into what is natural. Even animals aren't gay, and we are proving we are morally less than monkeys. By the way, I think there are millions of families out there who are making their children marry straight, so ya might wanna go call up on them too.....
