Gay Marriage Debate heats up on hot day in Trenton

When the anti-gay goons at National Organization for (opposite) Marriage arrived in Trenton, they were greeted with heat, humidity and little else. Meanwhile gay rights groups and their allies were cool as a cucumber and ready to reassert ourselves for the long march towards marriage equality in America.

This video misrepresents the views of people like me who oppose the redefining of marriage. First, we are not "haters". We are decent people who simply want to protect the core traditional values of Western Civilization. (If we oppose brothers and sisters marrying, does that mean we hate our own siblings?) Second, we don't see same-sex marriage as a micro-issue that threatens us personally. We see it as a macro-issue that threatens future generations. The unintended consequences are huge.

@stuntbaby63 the only person who's a threat to your marriage is your husband or your wife. the only REAL threat to future generations is the intractable stupidity espoused by your side.

sorry. God doesn't like haters and neither do I.

@stuntbaby63 yawn... we're going in circles. but thanks for giving me web traffic. i love that part.

Great work. Love the part about if gay marriage threatens your straight marriage then your probably not straight.

However, I don't understand why we use the words marriage equality rather than gay marriage. There is strong evidence that using the word gay has a more positive effect on the listener.

Thanks for the great work,

Joe

@joethemoproductions I prefer the term "gay marriage equality" just to cover my bases. it's a little clunky linguistically but marriage equality lacks a certain something. But the "equality" part of the equation is non-negotiable. i am more about the Equality than the marriage, personally.

@xxcafe There are many ethnic groups in the US. For your information, they are Italians.

And not all Italians are gay.

I don't care who wants to justify being gay is right, it is wrong. Now their is some twisted kids that are gonna be raised up in society thinking it is ok to have to dads! I guess everybody thinks God must have fell asleep or something or perhaps a lightening bolt struck his eye right? I'm not saying I hate gays, but I'm not gonna support a corrupt morale group that wants to lead it followers to a lake of fire for eternity all in the name of enjoying A MOMENT OF PLEASURE! Weigh eternity???

[xxcafe]

Right so if he repeats behavioral patterns does that mean that he will be gay like his parents?

[blognewb]

@xxcafe HE IS AUTISTIC. My goodness THEY REPEAT BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS. GO READ A BOOK.

[blognewb]

@stuntbaby63 So why don't you BAN DIVORCE?! That IS AGAINST THE BIBLE! That is the number one threat to the FUTURE of heterosexual marriage. GET REAL.

@xxcafe I personally agree that is weird... altho I´ve seen that often in straight families so... its just something weird that happens and not necessarily related to them being gay, it does look stranger cause they are gay but thats all, not that they affected the kid

[xxcafe]

@OneDollarMercenary It is natural to those that believe it is natural. That boy grew up in that enviornment and because he did, it affected him. He will probably continue feeling it is natural.

[OneDollarMercenary]

@xxcafe here's a real funny thing; affection between two men SHOULD be just as normal as between a man and a woman.

[xxcafe]

@OneDollarMercenary I could see that he was probably suffering a mental disability. Being mentally disabled does not necessarily cause a person to do what he did. He did what he did I assume because he saw his two male parents kissing while growing up and felt that this display of affection between two men was natural. I didn't mean to imply that his parents abused him in any way. The effect on this child is evident.
