For how many generations? The answer is none. It's a dead end for the species, and so biologically illegitimate. LOL all you wish, but it does not change the fact that every generation of gays is a biological dead end. The genesis of every generation of gay-oriented partners is entirely and totally dependent upon the previous generation of hetero-oriented partners. <br /><br />And so are any kids a SSM adopts or fosters.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492998820078614811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-50826358414158175902012-07-03T07:26:13.255-05:002012-07-03T07:26:13.255-05:00Andy isn't gay.

Are you under the impression that you ...Palladian,<br /><br />Are you under the impression that you answered my point? A visceral reaction simply means a gut reaction. You need to post less and read more.<br /><br />So..address my observation. It's my belief that same sex relationships are neither normal nor legitimate biologically or culturally and that fact has nothing to do with accepting gays or the gay lifestyle and the concepts should not be conflated. <br /><br />SSM is an attempt to apply a veneer of normalcy and legitimacy, a facade, to same sex relationships and people who have no issues with being gay or the gay lifestyle react to SSM negatively because they damn well viscerally KNOW, which has nothing to do with shit or colons, that it s neither normal nor biologically or culturally legitimate.<br /><br />Andy's, real problem in a nutshell (and maybe yours also), is that he desperately wants the victim status that gays once legitimately had but can no longer claim. Society accepts gays, gay lifestyles and, despite Andy Capp's vapors, the ubiquitous bigotry of the past against gays simply is not there any longer. <br /><br />I can't be an Olympian athlete. I wasn't born a natural athlete nor did or do I choose to work to overcome that fact. Who the fuck am I to insist that the rules be changed - that the institution be changed - just so I can claim to be what I'm not.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492998820078614811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-6301535818551593832012-07-02T22:32:45.276-05:002012-07-02T22:32:45.276-05:00phx said...

What Andy Capp and his ilk would have us believe is that they want the same 'right' to marriage as heterosexuals. That is nonsense. The 'rights' that are conferred by heterosexual marriage can be satisfied by civil unions. <br /><br />What Andy wants is not to exercise any right, but to construct a veneer of normalcy and legitimacy for same sex relationships. He thinks SSM provides that. It doesn't and never will because same sex unions are not historically, socially, or culturally considered normal or legitimate in any comparison to hetero unions. Never will be no matter how many politicians pander to the concept to garner votes. Because same sex unions are not biologically or racially normal and people know that at a visceral level.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492998820078614811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-22799278014863791982012-07-02T20:07:05.206-05:002012-07-02T20:07:05.206-05:00Bothering to read some of Andy R's posts for a...Bothering to read some of Andy R's posts for a change, it struck me that he's stuck in the <a href="http://www.simplypsychology.org/concrete-operational.html" rel="nofollow">concrete stage of cognitive development</a>.
