My pastime is gardening, not being homosexual and although you may think that's simply parsing words, I'd like to encourage you to be as specific as possible when you castigate fellow citizens.
And if "lifestyle" was a word I'd use to describe my life, I'd certainly be spending my days sunning on a sandy beach. But, sadly, no. We do the same things that, perhaps, you do: Breakfast; walk the dog; work; lunch; work some more; commute home; dinner; a movie maybe or how about a book instead? Bedtime and do all over again tomorrow.
I don't demand you accept anything about me personally. I do, however, expect that you look upon me as a citizens of this country, just like you — not as some unnatural pervert that garners your disgust.
Do you believe, then, that homosexuals are unnatural? What, then do you suggest for those citizens who are denied the right to marry? All because they're "unnatural"? That's hardly fair — or accurate.
The story says in part: "There's no basis in nature for a right to sodomy or a right to call two men or two women who are choosing to relate to one another sexually as a marriage," he said. "There's no intrinsic or natural right to that. So we believe that these are special rights."
What do they mean by employing the word 'sodomy'?
Maine repealed its sodomy law long ago. The 1970's, in fact. Also, in 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all sodomy laws, making clear that private, adult sexual conduct cannot be criminalized, so why are Madore and Heath using this as part of their argument?
It's hardly a rational (or accurate) but more to the point — they're using tactics to incite people's irrational hate as they clearly display their revulsion for homosexuality.
Why?
Usually you have something to say all the time?
Congratulations
Best wishes.
Nice letter
Thank you for your perspective.
Same here . . .
Nice work! I'm looking forward to more.
Point taken . . .
Now, did you return and pay your bill — like an honest person should?
