What happened in 90 days? All I have to say is the underground movement is doing a great job with advertising what mainstream media won’t.

Gay ghettos absolutely still exist, as they know there’s less chance that normal people will be around to object to fornication in the street during gay pride. What do you call the Castro district in San Francisco? I call it a homosexual ghetto.

Once again, you demonstrate that you don’t have the intellectual capacity to understand how one determines how many homosexuals there are or are not. Everything, for you, is about your own empirical experience–who you know, where you’ve been. Survey data allows us to get the broadest possible picture of society, unlimited to the experience of any one person (and esp. not to one person who runs in homosexual ghettos and believes that is the world). The survey data differs from your understanding. Rational people know which of those two is more trustworthy.

You make a lot of assumptions about me without knowing me. I grew up in rural Somerset County, lived in Pittsburgh, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic. I’ve been in cities, I’ve been in the country. I’ve seen a huge cross section of people and society. Even a small school district that had graduating classes of only 68 had several gay people attending!
If divorce rates are highest among American whites, then the American white heterosexuals need to get their house in order themselves and not blame it on Homosexuals.
Orville, you must be from an older generation, gay ghettos are becoming increasingly rare, as people become more educated and accept us into the normal fabric of society, we are living everywhere and not concentrated in a ghetto; that term is so 1970.

The typical homosexual activist fallacy: ‘the people *I* see are like this, so this must be true of all people.’ Jarod, like most homosexual men, probably runs in homosexual ghettos, surrounding by other men like him, and assumes that the whole society is like the tiny group of people he knows personally.

All survey data show that attitudes toward homosexuals are more liberal among American whites than among Latinos and Asians. Divorce rates are much higher in the former, and avg. # of children is lower there too. The American white “family” is increasingly becoming a “family” of one. The homosexual family is the logical extension of this logic, since they cannot produce children. The homosexual activists of course would like to define marriage without consideration of children, but anyone with the slightest knowledge of history recognizes the absurdity of this move.

Orville I LIVE in Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), so I see it in more than just Berlin. My partner is Latino so I know about Latino families really well also. And their strength has nothing to do with rejecting homosexuality (his family embraces it). You are trying to create a cause / effect relationship accross two totally independant events. Its like saying poverty is highest in warm weather climates, therefore warm weather cause people to be poor.

If you want to see strong families, go to countries where homosexuality is considered to be what it in fact is: a psychological perversion to be corrected. And if you want to see strong families in the US, look to the cultures here where homosexuality is rejected wholesale, e.g., among Latino and Asian immigrant populations.

The birth rate is lowest and the divorce rate is highest, not coincidentally, in the same part of the American population where support for homosexual marriage is highest: among middle-class whites. That is, the part of the population that is culturally sickest, with the least interest in real families and the most narcissism and hedonist distortion.

I’ve been to Europe more than you will dream of it, as my family is from the continent. It is absurd to claim that families are doing wonderfully based on seeing a few people at one event in one city. The statistics prove the opposite; marriage is dying in Europe, and a big part of that has to do with its slow deterioration by the state, which includes the attack on its very definition.

And if you look at the total numbers an additional 30% support civil unions. So it appears this website is in the minority with 63% of the USA supporting some type of legal union for same sex couples.
By the way, just got back from Berlin Germany. I saw all kinds of strong families at the gay pride parade. Gay, straight, lesbian couples all with their kids. It was very refreshing. Websites like this like to point to Europe as a place where families are falling apart due to gay marriage. My guess is most people who make these statements have never set foot on European soil.
