Police investigate 2 telephone threats

Polygamy and child marriage is acceptable and traditional in some countries. Do you think laws should be enacted for people from those countries who become US citizens to make this different lifestyle legal in our country? What kind of precedent do you think the same sex marriage scheme would be setting for future generations?

Even domesticated animals have homosexual tendencies but engaging in those acts are more about aggression than sex. In the civilized world of people, I wouldn't consider it natural to flout those tendencies or expect that laws will be enacted to promote the alternate lifestyle that these people have chosen. The gays blame their deviation from customary and traditional relationships on their genetic makeup. I tend to think it is a hormonal/chemical inbalance (btw, the Nazi's did too), if a person is bipolar don't they get treatment? I also think it is an alternative choice for those with rebellious tendencies, those who go out of their way to be different. Violence can be a genetic trait, does this make someone less responsible for the choices they make? Should the laws be changed to account for that? I think if a homosexual wants to commit to their lifestyle choice by having a sex change then they should be allowed to marry. I personally think it is important that Mr. and Mrs. be a male and female. This community has already gained the right to "significant other" benefits, the right to adopt, etc., why not leave it at that?? If they have all the rights except a marriage certificate what is the big deal?? No prenuptual? Get a lawyer and sign a contract.

Geez, what will all this do to evolution?? Will the hetorosexuals evolve into something with both sets of "tools" in the next millenium?

Hey Mainegal, You just compared same sex marriage to child molestation. Thats how I know your argument is crap.

Let me use some of your logic.

You think Homosexuality is wrong
Hitler though Homosexuality was wrong(as wrong as being Jewish)
Since Hitler and you agree, you must be a Nazi

I have always been tolerant of gay people, live and let live. I felt so long as they didn't push they're lifestyle onto others that they should be left alone. Now they are pushing their lifestyle and beliefs onto others, which I feel is unacceptable. Their lifestyle is a choice, many laws have been amended to give them the rights they feel they need with the exception of marriage. I feel same sex marriage is wrong, I feel if this were allowed it wouldn't be many years before cousins and siblings would find it their right to be married. These laws set some moral boundaries, I think crossing these boundaries will lead to some serious morality issues years down the road. There are many people with identity issues out there but it is not their "right" to act upon them. Many predators would say their behavior pattern is one they were born with but I would hate to see them have the rights to act upon their urges. A gay person says they can't have fulfilling sex with someone of the opposite sex so we should change the laws? A child molester cannot have fulfilling sex with an adult, a rapist cannot have fulfilling sex without violence, will we be changing the laws for these people too?

Since the purpose of the Yes on 1 campaign is to force gays back into the closet and to return Maine to the situation prior to the US Supreme Courts decision on sodomy when gays could be imprisoned and killed with impunity, is any one suprised that they might make false charges to the press without first informing the police.
So this matter must be fully investigated first.

Dan is not a bigot, he just hates cops and anybody that does not go along with his twisted, liberal bias.
Gil, the author of your quote, Pirate. Whould his first name be Butt?
Sorry, I just had to.

Gil says: "So typical of the libs."

What an idiotic and ignorant statement. Statements like that, intended to inflame the issue convince me all the more that the callers were Yes on 1 supporters seeking to stir the pot in an attempt to further erode civil rights. Far fetched, you say? Not in the least. This is a typical right-wing tactic employed by those who seek to instill fear in the population in order to get their way.

So typical of the libs. They lose at their attempt to have the legislature force their agenda on the people of this state and the first thing they do is threaten death to those who dared to speak out against them. Then, the myrmidons on this site start out with an attempt to blame i on the Yes voters. Not saying i definitely wasn't, but what would they stand to gain? Sorry libs, you lost, you can't understand how, and the first reaction is a hate filled one. Says so much.

Whether they are true or not, I'll shed as many tears for him as I would for David Duke.

It is the undauntable thought, my friend. The one that says, "I'm right!" ~Bobby Sands

When they say threats I'm not sure I would be extremely frightened by a gay women, I mean what is she going to do kill his wardrobe? Maybe lick him into uncontrollable laughter? Get real! You Lost No one wants this crap in public or schools lets clean it up and get back to moral high ground like god meant it to be one man and one woman ie: Adam and Eve! Procreation is not possible with two of the same sex so is that even an option, I think Not!

This is awesome, they'll probably go through with it too, I'm not sure if I'll mind, but I do know they are definitely heading to Hell.

Wow ///My first reaction, my gut response, is that these alledged calls are plants by the Yes On 1 people to further their persecution of homosexuals./// gdls1...is the perfect name for you!

I would have to say the same gdls1.

HOWEVER-if this is proven to be true, I think that its too bad that it would result in threats. That would be pretty damn low. Marc Mutty may sound pretty ignorant BUT hes a person. No matter if I disagree with him or not-no one deserves to have death threats.

Technically, if it is proven that the threats were motivated because of bias against the alleged victims sexual orientation (heterosexual), rather than say their political views or affiliation, it would appear to be covered under the enhanced sentencing provisions of the so called "hate crime" law. But I'm guessing if it did happen, it was the latter and not the the former.

The only question I ask is if the person is caught will they be charged with a hate crime or just harassment

My first reaction, my gut response, is that these alledged calls are plants by the Yes On 1 people to further their persecution of homosexuals.
