Thing is, acceptance of homosexuality does lead to acceptance of bestiality and polygamy. Why liberals refuse to accept this I'll probably never know.

Many of the times you have to make clear that you aren't making a moral comparison one to the other. Sometimes it's taken that way. The "lead to" is simply talking about a political and judicial reality as it relates to how our government works.I fail to see the difference between mutiple wives and husbands, incest or any other sexual preference being able to be excluded once the door is wide open.
It's a very tough issue for most conservative Christians. I'm in the same boat as you are. I'm all for them getting the benefits they seek, that's never really been a problem for me. I’ve never even felt an ounce of hate towards homosexuals or anything of the sort. In fact, I was raised around several very effeminate homosexuals who weren’t shy about it either. Although I will say that I have felt intense hate toward me because of my choice to not support homosexual marriage. Topics like that tend to get heated pretty fast.There is a problem that has to be addressed. People should not be penalised for their sexual preference. The right to hospital visitation, medical decisions, inheritance, health insurance etc. needs to be rectified.
The problem most of us have on the right is we do not want to condone or mainstream same gender relationships. I want everyone to have the same rights with out attacking the sanctity of marriage.
I want everyone to be able to do their own thing, I just dont want to condone or say it is OK. To say same sex relationships are normal is where I draw the line. While I believe a marriage is between one man and one woman, I do not want to discriminate against Gays either.
I know, separate but equal is not equal, but neither is don't ask don't tell and I believe we as a nation can do better than we are right now in regards to how we treat the Gay community.
100 years from now, it will sound racist or intolerant and it probably does now to the Gay community, but the nation has always taken baby steps before and another generation needs to expire before true equality can be established. This is a sad but true fact.
I would hope that with every step we take towards equality, the the Gay community will understand that we don't hate them, but our religion does not allow us to condone their relationships either.
I think the more I converse with the Gay community, the more I sympathise with their pain. I want to at the very least to endorse the same economic and medical rights to them.
Since the exact same argument was presented as one of the reasons to ban inter-racial marriage and inter-racial marriage is allowed, would you please be so kind as to list all the places in the USA that have since allowed polygamy and/or bestiality?Firstly, Danisty is right, let people do whatever they want behind closed doors, its their life. But allow me take this further. I oppose gay marraige, allow me to explain. Do don't have to even be a christian to see as "unhealthful". Why is that STD's are rocketing among gays? (its true, look it up). My mom knew several gays in her youth, most of which died before turning 30, true story. Bottomline, why should government allow or endore something when it is physically bad for them? they shouldn't. And what "straight rights?' huh, what about my right oppose it? I don't see that floating around the media.
Let us look from an 'natural' perpective.
Man+Woman=baby
Man+Man= nonething, maybe AIDS
Man+Animal=nonething
when the natural laws of nature are not occuring that says something is wrong.

You argument "if we allow same sex marriage whats next, bestiality, marrying animals, marrying children, etc.?" is no different than the argument "if we allow inter-racial marriage whats next, bestiality, marrying animals, marrying children, etc.?"I'm not understanding what you mean exactly,
if a black guy and caucasian woman have sex there will still be a human being born out of that,
but sex with another man or animal there is no life as a result. This argument is rather complicated and technical as we could argue the laws of nature for an eternity and still get nowhere. To me it just doesn't make sense to endorse something that is PHYSICALLY bad for your health,
why dont we support teens shooting drugs up their arms next? I mean, human rights? right? I has to end somewhere,
Ok, what the hell (sorry, but really) does inter-racial marriage have to do with ANYTHING?
not mad man, your just not making an sense is all,
You are using one of the same arguments against same sex marriage as was used against inter-racial marriage.Ok, what the hell (sorry, but really) does inter-racial marriage have to do with ANYTHING?

To me there is no such a thing as "same sex marriage". Marriage is between a man and a woman, period. You can call unions of the same sex "civil unions" or "same sex unions". It is not marriage. You can call a dog a cat and it is still a dog. The same with marriage. You can call it same sex marriage, but it is not marriage, it is something else.You are using one of the same arguments against same sex marriage as was used against inter-racial marriage.
It did not happen when inter-racial marriage was allowed.
Why do you think it will when same sex marriage is allowed?
