Ahh, but many of those types think homosexuality is a choice, so no genetics -- NaturalMysticHoo Fri Feb 24 2012 9:08:21 AM |

And that choice position is simply absurd and should be ignored. ** -- Hoodafan Fri Feb 24 2012 9:14:14 AM |

Not a big deal. ** -- Hoo SB Thu Feb 23 2012 9:32:04 PM |

It is a big deal. The fact that this is even an issue speaks more to bigotry -- KaHOOnah Thu Feb 23 2012 9:40:03 PM |

The comparison is valid, and yours is a lost cause. Give it up. ** -- WaxHoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:35:21 AM |

It's valid to the agenda driven, -- Worlord Fri Feb 24 2012 9:47:52 AM |

That's a valid point. -- hoolstoptheheels Fri Feb 24 2012 10:24:32 AM |

I see "normalcy" as not being concerned with others' sexuality. ** -- NaturalMysticHoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:48:54 AM |

Totally false premise and you know it. ** -- WaxHoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:36:31 AM |

Correct. It is fine to have an opinion on which ones should be permitted or not, -- ryno hoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:49:59 AM |

Go figure the Hokie gets indignant about incest. -- WahooRQ Fri Feb 24 2012 7:50:43 AM |
|
And figure a wahoo lawyer to try to get personal when his lack of logic is -- 81_Hokie Fri Feb 24 2012 9:14:18 AM |

OK...that really has nothing to do with the institution of marriage. -- WahooRQ Thu Feb 23 2012 10:44:14 PM |
|
Of course it depends on the point of view. For those who believe in the -- BEASTHOO Thu Feb 23 2012 10:58:30 PM |
|
Well Eve was made from Adam, so he was sort of doing it with a guy... ** -- shakenbake85 Fri Feb 24 2012 8:10:26 AM |

But that marriage was without a license, so it didn't count, right? -- 111Balz Fri Feb 24 2012 7:07:09 AM |

Well played. ** -- BEASTHOO Fri Feb 24 2012 10:13:36 AM |

Ahhhhh, marriage "as we know it" -- So obviously the standard has changed -- Mr Wahoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:18:30 AM |

Meaning "marriage, the creature of law," which is how we know it. ** -- WahooRQ Fri Feb 24 2012 9:47:31 AM |

Wait a minute...I thought your argument was based on evolution -- VAGentleman05 Thu Feb 23 2012 11:14:42 PM |
|
My question is more like - Who sets the standard? - ** -- Mr Wahoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:09:45 AM |
|

|
That may leave a mark ** -- KaHOOnah Thu Feb 23 2012 11:28:58 PM |
|
What about it? Polygamy is a red herring, and minors can't -- WahooRQ Thu Feb 23 2012 10:58:02 PM |
|
Who has the right to set the ages, standards, and type marriage allowed then? ** -- Mr Wahoo Fri Feb 24 2012 8:15:11 AM |
