They are going to 'nag' until they get their way


Monday, August 31, 2009 6:19 AM PDT

Gay marriage proponents are at it again. Every time the citizens of California vote down gay marriage, they try it again and again.

One of these days people are going to catch on to what they are trying to do. Like a nagging spouse, they are going to keep putting it in our faces and keep getting it voted down until the citizens get tired of spending millions of taxpayers dollars and give up and just say, "OK, we are tired and broke, just do what you want and go away."

This has nothing to do with religion or rights, just trying to get their way so they can go around acting like it's normal to be gay, getting more options to have their abnormal lifestyle be recognized as legitimate and really getting our children confused. If everyone was one religion or one color or of one political party we would all survive, but if everyone was gay, we would only last one generation, maybe two.

Personally, I don't care if someone is gay. In fact, I have two or three friends who are gay. I just don't want it thrown into the public venue and paid for with my tax dollars, since they only have to come up with a few bucks and we the public, in order to protect ourselves, must come up with millions.

Like I said, a nagging spouse will eventually get their way.

Geez, where to begin. Okay, first of all, Ed, has anyone ever told you that you are a racist? Now, start to think outside your own tiny little world. There are plenty of gay people that have children, and that bear children. There are also many in your perfect world scenario of one religion, one race and one political party (gee, wonder which one that might be) that do not have children and that cannot have/bear children. In your perfect world would you be forcing women to bear children? And if someone cannot have children will they be eliminated?

You, Ed, are a complete nut! "

Wow! And you say that you have "two or three gay friends"? Uh, I have news for you... they are not friends with you. "

" Mr. Parks: Your ignorance and bigotry is shocking! And very sad and disappointing. I am embarrassed that we are from the same town. "

" it will continue till 'their' rights are put on everyone else. it's just sad when we have to keep spending $$$ for a few. there needs to be a moratorium on the number of times this non-sense comes up. i 2 have had it. again, if you don't like the laws here, get out and go to another state that allows that kind of jackass unions. lol.

So which is it, Ed? Two or three?

Surely even you can count to three? "

" I would say that they had best hurry as the White population shrinks in
California It will become near impossible to pass the marriage initiative.
Especially as the Muslim population continues to grow. The only reason
It did well the last go around was all the under 40 white voters. Talk about
a minority…Question how many times to the “PEOPLE” have to vote this
down.. How many times will the 9th Circus court of appeals be asked to
save the day???? Where is it written in stone that anyone has a “RIGHT”
to be Married??? "

" Ed, go tell your two or three Gay friends that you don't think that it is "normal" that they are Gay, and that you don't believe that their long-term relationships should be recognized and respected, and see how long they remain your friends. I have a feeling you won't be invited over for Thanksgiving dinner by these friends. "

" Here is something to ponder:

"In the United States, HIV infection and AIDS have had a tremendous effect on men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM accounted for 71% of all HIV infections among male adults and adolescents in 2005 (based on data from 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting), even though only about 5% to 7% of male adults and adolescents in the United States identify themselves as MSM".

" Gosh Ed, I cannot think of a single gay person who thinks they are normal. Well, no more than the right-wing religious are normal. "
