oh never mind....I commented above before I read all the comments in your previous post. All of this stuff with prop 8 has gone too far. The people voted on it, its over, the gays should just live their lives like they done in previous years before same sex marriage came along.
I do not believe in same sex marriage and, like you, Im not ashamed to admit that. I too believe that marriage should only be between a man and a women. If someone is a TRUE friend to you, they shouldnt knock you for what you do or dont believe in. Im not ashamed to say that my reason for not believing in it is because I am a Christian and I believe in and trust in every word of my bible which says that homosexuality is a sin. You know that Im a Christian and as along as you have had me friended you have read and commented to many of my entries that contained my religious beliefs, yet you still have me friended and have never took offense to my Christianity. For that, I consider you a true friend. Im not perfect, and Im sure I sin on a daily basis not even knowing it, but I put forth my best effort to try to live my life as God would have me to.
As Ive mentioned before, you have to realise that way down here in the south, its so much different than those big cities. We do have gays here, but most of them live a secret life and only a few come out of the closet. My cousin says he is a "non practicing homosexual"...he was in the Navy for years and when he retired (at age 41) he came back here to live and I guess he just doesnt choose to practice homosexuality behaviour or doesnt want anyone to know it. AND what Im about to say...call me "bigot" if you want to....but there is a little girl at school who's Mother keeps saying to me "oh, Kaylee is so precious, I wished you'd let her come home with us and spend the night so she and xxxx can play together. This Mother is in a lesbian relationship with another women....I dont want my child exposed to this. I dont want her coming home asking me why xxxx's Mommy was kissing another women. When Kaylee grows up, if she chooses to be a lesbian, thats her choice but it wont be because Mommy said it was ok to be. Honestly though, this childs Mother is not a true lesbian. She is only using this other women as a sugar Daddy (well, in her case a sugar Mama). She has struggled most of her life and has never really had anything nice and this women has enough of money to keep her comfortable, so I believe she is only using her. I dont keep Kaylee away from this ladies child, because they are good friends at school. I have taken Kaylee to her birthday party and we have been to the childs Father and Step Mothers home...so its not like I tell Kaylee that she cant play with her,its just that I dont want her to see what we dont believe in. She also has a 14 year old daugther who is having a very hard time with this relationship. She is ashamed and embarassed that her Mother is with another women. Kids at school are picking on her about it too. So, if this all makes me a bigot, so be it, I'll glady wear the name!
Question.....is crushdmb the one that flew out to stay the weekend with you? Is she gay herself or just helping to support gays?
Yep, it's a lot different depending on where you live, that's for sure. I mean if you were to tell some people in San Francisco your views, they would probably think you were the devil. But where you live, I imagine most people share your views.
What I don't get is why people can't respect other peoples views? I mean shit, we still let the KKK and Nazis and other people march around saying what they think. I mean that's an extreme example.
If you can't respect others points of views, your world starts to shrink pretty fast. Next thing you know you're living an imaginary bubble and mad at the rest of the world (as crushdmb obviously is).
And no, she's not gay. I mean I lived and worked in San Francisco for years, and I know for a fact I have more gay friends then she does. She's in Phoenix, and obviously young and still in that "I know everything" phase. But man, I took some pretty hard abuse in that thread before I started to get aggravated. I was just coming from a purely legal view and look how mad she got. I can't imagine what would have happened if you would have put your religious views, or just your personal view being a Mom with a little person to take care of.
Well like I told her, maybe one day she'll grow up and look back at what she did and realize how wrong it was.
