When did the ghetto become equivalent to San Franscisco, Los Angeles, and New York? Those cities have nice qualities.

Seriously, trying to make the differences between heterosexuals/heterosexuality and homosexuals/homosexuality into something akin to racial differences is never going to work. It's just not. If you don't believe me, go ask the vast majority of African-American Democrats.

You mean the ones who think homosexuality is a choice?

No, I mean the ones who do not care whether or not it is a choice, but see it as undesirable trait in their offspring by virtue of its incompatibility with the survival of their offspring. After all, when you get right down to it most heterosexuals have one basic desire: survival. This includes, of course, survival of their offspring. Biologically, they are never going to really accept something that threatens the survival of their offspring whether it be in the near or distant future.

So... homosexuality is bad for the survival of children... how, exactly?

so when people realize (choose in GOP world) that they are gay in their teens, should they then be carted off to the Castro District of SF and given a one month pass the a bath house? Or should they be allowed to finish high school locally?

And will the federal guvment be paying for moving all the gays to their appropriate designated zones (I assume you will call them Pink Empowerment Zones or something like that)

I know you are being facetious, but unlike liberals I do not think the government is a solution to much of anything. There is certainly nothing whatsoever the government should be doing with homosexuals or homosexuality.

I believe homosexuality should be readily accepted. But I also realize that it never will be. Saying that makes me on par with Santorum is silly.

Because children need to learn how to ostracise and bully weaker and different children to survive!!! It's about SURVIVAL PEOPLE!!!

So f-cking what?  Children should be ostracized by their parents and society because they're not going to reproduce?

If we're going to be so retarded as a civilization, we might as well just all go extinct.  There's no point if we're just going to be animals who wear clothes and pretend to be civilized.

Yes.  I just fail to see how gay people getting married does any harm to the human race, especially given the incredibly high (and growing) world population.

Single people can't reproduce, either.  Should their rights be sacrificed, as well?

Getting back to the original point, I am saying this: Santorum speaks openly what most heterosexuals are thinking privately. I do not fall into that category. But I am not naive either and I am sorry if that makes some of you uncomfortable.

I know very few heterosexuals who have views anything like those of Santorum, and if anything his views make them more uncomfortable than homosexuality itself.

Biologically, there is no point to life except surviving and reproducing. We are really just animals who happen to have the gift (or curse, if you want to depress yourself) of thought.

Gay marriage is, accept it or not, gaining more support by the year according to the polls.  And you certainly don't speak for "most heterosexuals", so that is a baseless statement.

But if most heterosexuals truly believe that you'd be better off with having a dad in jail than having same-sex parents, then maybe this country hasn't advanced much at all.

And I just want to bang my head against a wall every time someone talks about "instincts" and biological determinism.  Humans have this thing called a frontal lobe, people.  We might as well lobotomize ourselves if we're going to concern ourselves only with the survival of the species and all that jazz.

Unless we really change our tune in the next thousand years, I really hope an alien race wipes us out before we truly become a blight upon the galaxy.

I am sorry for rocking the boat. Let's go back to regular tuned programming where we do not try to figure out why there is animosity towards homosexuality among heterosexuals. We can also be so naive as to think homosexuality will ever be readily accepted into the mainstream the way that preferring Pepsi over Coke is. This will make us all feel better, and feeling good about ourselves is all that matters.

It's simple: because some people are stupid and fear things that are different.  You're not being helpful by validating such idiocy.

I know very few heterosexuals who are truly comfortable with homosexuality. Perhaps it is a stretch to say that Santorum speaks openly what most heterosexuals are thinking privately. It certainly upsets me to think that, but I do get the sense that it is true to a large extent. There is a reason why there is so much animosity towards homosexuals.

I know very few whites who are truly comfortable with black people. Perhaps it is a stretch to say that Wallace speaks openly what most whites are thinking privately. It certainly upsets me to think that, but I do get the sense that it is true to a large extent. There is a reason why there is so much animosity towards blacks.

I wish I could agree, but unfortunately I really don't think it's that simple in this case otherwise African-American Democrats, for example, would be much more open to seeing it the way that you see it.
