Well, they are wrong about one thing marriage has not always been one man one woman. In many cultures over time it has been one man with multiple women and in very few cultures one woman and multiple men. Polygamy has been practiced in many cultures. I know that has little to do with the debate, but I thought I would point that out.
 
The part of this that was ‘news to me’ was that marriage rates declined in Spain and the Netherlands after same-sex marriage was permitted. I hadn’t heard this. I also wish there were a link to the gay celebrities who oppose same-sex marriage—they don’t get much ink on this side of the pond!
 
Brace yourselves, for the homosexualists will be outraged with this news and will try to convert us into homosexualists!

This whole “same-sex marriage” thing is another weapon used to bludgeon Christians in general and Catholics in particular.
 
The only people who will benefit from “Gay Marriage” are the divorce lawyers!
If you think you have seen a circus when two pop stars or Hollywood types get into a divorce scandal, wait until two homosexuals have it out in public! It will be XXXX rated to be sure.

Satan has the whole world to use as a weapon against the Church.

The sad thing is, the mainstream media may ignore it since it does not go well with their narrative.

I suppose if you keep making this same prediction nearly every time someone starts a thread on homosexuality eventually you’ll be right.

I think he is being rhetorical, since obviously the homosexualists are already trying to convert everyone else to their twisted point of view.

C’mon. You are being kind of uncharitable to the homosexual community calling gay men “Queens”. Do you really need to use those kind of dirty tactics?

This is an interesting question to me. I know gay people who call themselves “fg" and "quer.” (Many young women have recently embraced the term “sl*t” to describe themselves.)

It’s a bit off topic but I was thinking last night that I know some, shall we say, apparent males who insist they are, on the inside, female. Some even take hormones and plan to have operations so that their outward appearance matches their inner vision of themselves. I was struck by how all the apparent males I know in this category have an exaggerated notion of femininity. (I don’t know a single “genetic girl” who wears anywhere near that much make-up, and many wear none. Most adult women I know are NOT especially “frilly” or “girly” but every guy I know who claims to really be a woman presents a cliche of femininity. I wonder if there are apparent males who insist they really are female but for all that, love sports and change their own motor oil. I know women who do, but no men-who-think-they-are-women who do. I find that curious, though of course, this is anecdotal stuff, not research. Idle musing.)

That’s a good line but I think the point it makes is mistaken. First, few gay men will actually marry. Second, in the places where same-sex marriage has been legalized nationally (Spain, the Netherlands) have seen a decline in marriage rates. A declining marriage rate should make for fewer divorce cases.
 
They either aren’t trying very hard or are failing miserably. In either case, the alarmist sentiment sometimes expressed in these parts seems sadly misplaced.
Interesting report, thanks for the link. I was surprised to learn that there is a higher incidence of homosexuality reported among non-white than among white respondents. Overall the percentage seems about right. It doesn’t seem right to me, however, that 3.4% of the population should be able to dictate their redefinition of marriage to the other 96.6%.

Not all homosexuals are into “same-sex marriage” as the OP’s article says.

There are also heterosexuals who support “same-sex marriage”, and they are not some minority position either. That is not in the OP’s article, but is based more from observations.

So then less than 3.4% of the population has convinced a much higher percentage of heterosexuals that redefining marriage to suit less than 3.4% of the population is the right thing to do??? If that’s not manipulation, I don’t know what is.

Do you know if polgamous marriage occured before mongamous marriage? If it did, that does not mean it was good for society and I do not think polgamous marriage has been homsexual

This study says of polygamous marriage
In cultures that permit men to take multiple wives, the intra-sexual competition that occurs causes greater levels of crime, violence, poverty and gender inequality than in societies that institutionalize and practice monogamous marriage
Decades of studies have found the benefits to society that marriage between 1 woman and 1 man brings. Polygamous marriage does not bring those benefits
 
So then less than 3.4% of the population has convinced a much higher percentage of heterosexuals that redefining marriage to suit less than 3.4% of the population is the right thing to do??? If that’s not manipulation, I don’t know what is.
Some heterosexual parents, siblings, friends and relatives of LGBT people do not need to be manipulated into thinking that their son’s, daughter’s, friend’s, niece’s, nephew’s, or cousin’s relationship with a member of the same gender is worthy of the title of marriage. They do not have to be manipulated to see that marriage, as currently defined in many places, denies that person and his or her partner from a large number of legal benefits and protections and fails to recognize the dignity and value of that person’s relationship.

Divorce cases, maybe. But, people will still move in together, one will spend too much, cheat or they’ll just get on each other’s nerves and need the courts to decide who gets what because neither can agree and are too angry to be rational.
