But what I want to know is what made Sean Penn think it was such a “good time” for “those who voted for the ban against gay marriage” to “sit and reflect” about it after an award for his acting was given? Is he equating his own acting ability with being gay? Or does he think his acting achievement somehow proves homosexuality should be culturally accepted? The award was for ACTING it has nothing to do with the issue of homosexuality.Speyekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184914449443675858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323705069567388486.post-65508382999066614302009-03-03T09:26:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:26:00.000-08:00Sean Penn is blinded to the Truth, and I agree it ...Sean Penn is blinded to the Truth, and I agree it is not about 'equal rights' it is about the complete acceptance of homosexual behavior as being just as morally valid as heterosexual behavior and heterosexual marriage." <BR/>Morals in our country are in a war at all levels, including targeting our children.

If that were the case, everyone's desires would have to be legitimized through law (including the desires of pedophiles and rapists). Rather, laws must take into consideration fundamental moral principles and the best interests of society.<BR/><BR/>Another good point: homosexual behavior should not be compared with race or gender. It needs to be made clear that the issue is not homosexual DESIRE but homosexual BEHAVIOR. Nobody chooses their race or gender but everyone chooses who they sleep with.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436136389787730133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323705069567388486.post-13032981611012049662009-03-01T21:37:00.000-08:002009-03-01T21:37:00.000-08:00Aaron,Great post, you are absolutely right. Hollyw...Aaron,<BR/><BR/>Great post, you are absolutely right. Hollywood and people like Sean Penn are manipulating the debate when they use the term “equal rights.” I agree that all Americans should have equal rights too. But as you correctly pointed out, equal rights already do exist. <BR/><BR/>Just to expand on what you already wrote, I’ve never heard of a judge who wouldn’t allow a man to marry woman because he lived as a homosexual. That’s because the law between male and female is equally applied here. Someone may object and say, “That’s a stupid thing to say because a homosexual doesn’t want to marry a woman.” Well, your right, but what they “want” is an entirely different issue. What they “want” has nothing to do with marriage rights being unequal. They are just choosing not to exercise those rights. But this issues isn’t about equal rights, it’s about approval. <BR/><BR/>People like Penn, are misguiding the issue by falsely equating homosexual liberty with racial equality. This is not an accurate parallel to make. There is no good evidence that homosexuality is found in the human genes. Homosexuality is a behavior adopted into one’s life. It is not some kind of innate characteristic like race or gender. That is why it is correct to say marriage laws do apply equally to all Americans. There is nothing unconstitutional about marriage and therefore should not be redefined. <BR/><BR/>In addiotn, these arguments, and more, are based on the natural law and have nothing to do with ignorance, prejudice, or hatred. What does appear to be happening is a small group of people are trying to force the majority in this society to approve of homosexual behavior and produce additional rights under the already existing law of marriage to those in the lifestyle behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
