One of my favorite sayings is that “a text taken out of context is just a pretext.” The comparison that Ms. Dew made between the choices people made is a valid comparison, but is just that, a comparison. She is giving an example of how people who don’t take an active part in political issues to support their beliefs will only benefit the causes and beliefs they don’t agree with. She isn’t trying to say that supporting gay marriage will lead to genocide although… If you look at it, homosexual couples don’t have children of their own so they’re not adding to the population and if enough couples become same sex couples then eventually you could kill off the human population. But that’s a long way off and a really big IF.

I personally do not support calling a same sex union marriage but that is just semantics. I do think that politically speaking a same sex union should have the same rights and priveleges as a heterosexual marriage. Either that or take away all perks and benefits from everybody and treat them all like single individuals.

Also, about choosing to be homo/heterosexual, I think you do have a choice. I believe people are meant to be the sex they were born and that they should fulfill the responsibilities associated with that sex. Every society views those responsibilities differently, so that’s all I will say about them. Nature intended humans to pair up as male and female to propogate the species. If it was supposed to be another way then we would be hermaphrodites like earthworms, asexual like amoebas, or able to change from sex to sex according to our circumstances like some amphibians (see Jurassic Park for a specific amphibian that does that.)

One more thing… The LDS church may appear to be very sexist, but it is organized to play to the various strengths of the sexes. Men and women are NOT equal. We each have unique attributes that are gender specific. Men cannot conceive and give birth to babies. Being part of that creative process naturally brings women closer to “God.” In order for men to achieve that closeness we need to become more caring and nurturing towards others. The responsibilities of the Priesthood are intended to do that. Remember that it was Eve that first realized the predicament that she and Adam were in. They were told to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the Earth. They were also told not to eat the forbidden fruit. In innocence they couldn’t replenish the Earth, and as usual eve had to take the stubborn man and say we have to break this little command to be able to follow this more important road.

Ok I’m don… Let the flames begin.

We all make choices. I chose to be heterosexual in the pre-earth life.

Hitler shared my views. If you are opposed to all this subversion about “gay rights”, then see that Adolf Heitler was right on this subject, as he was about most everything else.

And before anyone condemns the German “invasion” of Poland, perhaps you should acquaint yourself with Polish atrocities committed against the German people by the “innocent” Poles. And most of the people killed by the German Army were Communists in Stalin’s Army. Anyone have a problem with that?
