The Evil One knows how to (try) destroy the Church. Destroy its fundamental unit: the family!
I can’t imaging schools being caught in the middle of this issue with no clear legal issues. I agree a person should use a locker room, rest room corresponding to his or her God given gender.
An attempt is being made to force schools to comply. For some, gender identity is a choice.
This issue is being debated in our public school district, which is why DS will not be going there. And we live in Mennonite country. Go figure.
You believe that gay marriage encourages promiscuity
.Thank you for noticing.
When did I say I believed it? That’s a hypothesis put out by some social scientists and it could be true but they need to prove it but the nature of it prevents immediate findings.You believe that gay marriage encourages promiscuity
Clearly i am too old or you never used certain public toilets after dusk in the 60s and 70s as a boy and wondered why strange men used to loiter there for no particular reason on weekends.
Common sense suggests testing the reverse hypothesis might be a better use of research money. That is, if anything promotes poor mental health, lonliness and promiscuity it is ostracisation and homophobia by society at large. Everybody knows marriage is a statement about commitment rather than promiscuity. If it fails it will likely do so only just as much as heterosexual endeavours one would think.
This is consistent with other articles I’ve read saying that monogamy has never been practiced within the gay community and some were even surprised when the community, as a whole, started demanding a right to “marry”. Others have suggested that the push comes more from heterosexual people than gays themselves.
So you contributed an unsubstantiated random hypothesis just for the fun of it?
May I ask if you are over the age of 35 or have significant life experience such as workplace managerial responsibility, burnout, a broken sexual relationship, a major mental health episode requiring medication, crippling lonliness, a near death health event?
.The situation of children in same-sex homes has become an important topic in this thread, so I will present one of the references I have seen.
You believe monogamy is well practised within the heterosexual community despite the high divorce and remarriage rates? Well I suppose serial marriages is still a “monogamy” of sorts.
I know of a number of gay couples who have been together forever
Not that I was looking. Often people don’t even realise they are an item.

A person who is a victim of homophobia and ostracism may or may not then act promiscuously. But homophobia and ostracism are wrong regardless.
I lived in Kalona, Iowa which was mainly Amish country but many Mennonite people as well. You never know where these issues will infiltrate. Frightening. I would think Mennonite country would be spared these issues.
“Know” can be a funny word sometimes. Yes you “know” by your faith. If for instance you were of another faith by which you walk though whose understanding has evolved on homosexuality or on what constitutes monogamous marriage, you wouldn’t necessarily know.Thank you for noticing.
But I would add that we also still know in our hearts that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid.
Indeed. Liberals think that they know the truth, but they are mistaken.“Know” can be a funny word sometimes. Yes you “know” by your faith. If for instance you were of another faith by which you walk though whose understanding has evolved on homosexuality or on what constitutes monogamous marriage, you wouldn’t necessarily know.
