which is a bigger threat to traditional values - gay marriage or hetero divorce?

Question

I mean, if every gay person alive got married it would only be a 10th of the people getting divorced, right? So why all the attention on the gay thing?

I mean Newt, Rush, and on and on.... these guys are looke dup to, but a couple of regular gay guys wanting to get married are vilified like they are the anti-Christ himself!

Answer 1

i would have to say that it is easier to point a finger at someone else then at yourself. so for all straight Christians who don't live the best life. it is nice for them to blame the gays and say that they are evil and going to hell.

Answer 2

I don't think 2 gay people getting married has anything to do with anything-I can't see the big deal. Stable and committed gay couples already live as married couples, so it isn't as if the legal ban means gay couples don't already live as other married couples do. It's a political thing for the right wing and religious conservatives to get something to rally around, and seems to have very little to do with reality.

I find it alot more offensive when I read on here about 14 or 18 year old kids talking marriage or those who've dated for 3 months & are talking about marriage. I'd much rather an adult gay couple get married than some kid who, in putting the cart before the horse, is stunting her chances for a great education and adult life.

Both sides are a threat to the traditional values. Homosexual couples have no better statistic for staying together that heterosexual couples. Sadly, divorce is just as high in the Christian church as it is elsewhere. The problem is not the church, and it's not the gays. It's the thought process as a whole. Somewhere in history, we have become complacent and apathetic to truth and righteousness, all in the name of tolerance. We wanted so much to be free, that we are in bondage to our freedoms. People enter in marriages with the idea that if it doesn't work, or make them feel good, they can get divorced. They doom the marriage to failure before it even starts. No longer are people willing to do the work and effort it takes to make a good marriage. My folks have been married for over 40 years. The one thing they always said to me was that they promised each other for life. No matter what came their way, they remembered their commitment to each other and to God. If we parents instill this in our children, the divorce rate would drop dramatically.

There is a good saying out there right now... "As the family goes, so goes the Nation."

Answer 4

I think it just takes time to get used to being that society places such a pressure on being gay.

My male cousin is living the fairy tale life with a man to where they have their own house, three pets that they treat like children and good careers. The love each other and seem like the perfect couple. I believe that they can make it work.

The biggest threat to traditional values is both the gay marriage and the hetero divorce... they both take time in getting used to.

Answer 5

you're absolutely right and if these men focused on the real problems affecting the U.S. - maybe some things could actually be resolved. we need to leave this issue alone for crying out loud.

and an F.Y.I. as food for thought: Scientists have shown that gay/lesbians have drastic differences in levels of testosteron, estrogen, etc...that in fact prove genetic differences in homosexuals, I mean think about it, --if God could make a hermaphrodite--person with both male/female genitalia, than don't you think perhaps homosexuals have every right to be here and live life in peace and be married like everyone else??? Is a hermaphrodite an error by God? (Gee, God doesn't make mistakes, now does he?) My point? For people who put religious emphasis on the idea that being Gay or involved in a Gay marriage is wrong----to hell with you!!!

Answer 6

Hetero divorce, definitely. Getting married is too easy and people don't know what they're getting into. They think it's just a good reason to have a party, and they keep screwing around and leaving the relationship when it gets tough. Wimps. I've known more gay couples who have stayed together than hetero couples.

Answer 7

Neither. The biggest threats to traditional values are our poor educational system which is teaching kids to take standardized tests instead of educating them on the world, and the fact that many parents are allowing schools to raise their children. That's the problem. gays getting married...who cares! As long as they love one another who cares.

Answer 8

Both are a threat to traditional values. One has nothing to do with the other. They should be treated as indivdual problems. They are both huge problems to our society. People just want to accept this disgrace to our society and be politcaly correct. I think gay marriages are moraly wrong. I think divorce is not always the answer and people need to learn to stick things out for better or worse like our grandparents and their parents did.

Answer 9

The gay marriage is not a natural marriage;it's essentially a sex union or partnership;it doesn't matter what the gay groups say on the streets.They are insulting and degrading the social unions between a man and a woman.Then,it's a threat,a big one, to societies.No social contribution.

hetero divorce? they can rebuild their lives with another person,get children and start a new life.No comparison.

Please!!

Answer 10

Yea, and you know what else? Gay people tend to stay friends after they split up, unlike non-gay people. OK, I heard this from Rosie.
