    Like I care. Good for him. It's all up to them. Being a liberal, by definition, is a GOOD THING. Mainly because following tradition blindly is stupid as hell.

    He "back-doored" American taxpayers with his Dodd-Frank legislation so why not continue the practice with his "partner"? At least this latest episode won't cost us.

    Personally, and according to my religious beliefs, I'm not all that jazzed about same-sex marriage. However, if LGBT couples want to be joined together in wedded bliss, far be it from me to criticize them. Really, it's not any of my damn business. I wish Barney Frank and his partner a happy and healthy life together. Why in the world would I, or anybody else for that matter, wish them ill?

    Why? That makes no sense. Being perverted is like Quagmire from Family Guy, ALWAYS thinking about sex. Being gay does not mean you always think about sex. So try not to be so ignorant.

    Your logic is flawed. You have your own personal definition of a word and, based upon your own definition, it doesn't apply to you. A pedophile may not always be thinking about sex but when he does he thinks about having sex with children. He is still a pervert event though ne may not always be thinknig abot sex. If you are a man and, when you think of sex, you think about having sex with another man, you are a pervert. If you are a man, and you think about having sex with women to the point where you materbate, you are a pervert. In reality, we, as human bengs, are all perverted in someway. We have to yield our sexuality, as well as all of our other appetites, to God and to His will.

    Your MIND is flawed!!

    According to dictionary.com "pervert (noun) "a person who practices sexual perversion." and perversion = "any of various means of obtaining sexual gratification that are generally regarded as being abnormal."
    So im not wrong!!

    But gays think about sex as much as straight people do!

    Oh please, dont bring God into this!! It messes everything up and makes it more difficult to understand!

    You said: "Being perverted is like Quagmire from Family Guy, ALWAYS thinking about sex." That is not the definition of "pervert" or "perverted" in any dictionary. By your own contrived definition, if you are queer but you don't always think about sex, then you cannot be regarded as perverted.

    But, by your dictionary.com reference: "a person who practices sexual perversion." and perversion = "any of various means of obtaining sexual gratification that are generally regarded as being abnormal" - being a freakin' homo who cannot possibly participate in the procreation of our species is as abnormal and as perverted as one can get. In fact, the very word "pervert" originated to describe homosexuals, pedophiles, and peeping toms.

    I AM straight, so Im NOT gay, and I have a girlfriend who I have had sex with. Just fyi.

    "By your own contrived definition, if you are queer but you don't always think about sex, then you cannot be regarded as perverted." YES EXACTLY!!! Wouldn't that make SENSE!!
    Im not queer! Im not weird!!

    Why does it describe people like ME???

    Oh God, r u a Jesus freak?? I hope you're not!!
    But WHY is GOD in this!?!?! So unnecessary!!

    First of all, I read your bio and discovered that you are straight; you are just an apologist for gay people.

    "A person who is always thinking about sex" is not a definition of "perverted." You made that up. Homosexuals are perverted because their inclinations and their behavior is abnormal. Regardless of the number of homosexuals, homosexuality will always be perverted.

    The pleasure derived from sexual behavior is one of its important elements but, without debate, the primary purpose for sexuality is the propagation or procreation of the human race and that is a God ordained and sacred union. Humans were created male and female for a reason and that reason is pretty important. It is a profound element in being "human" and is, in fact, critical to the fact, generally speaking, that the human race exists and, more specifically, that you and I exist. Sexual behavior is pleasureable because human beings need that erotic pleasure as a powerful motivation for them to continue the practice and as an element of expressing love between a man and his wife. If a man is aroused by erotic thoughts about other men, something is wrong with him. Regardless as to whether that person has had those tendencies from early or late in life, something is wrong with his thinking in this are...

If a man is aroused by erotic thoughts about other men, something is wrong with him. Regardless as to whether that person has had those tendencies from early or late in life, something is wrong with his thinking in this area and he needs to get some help. Telling him that it is O.K. and "normal" is only compounding the problem.

    The fact that you don't want to allow God into this discussion is irrelavant. You certainly don't have to agree with me and you don't have to believe in God as I do or accept Christ as I have, but what God thinks about this is far more important than what either you or I think about it, whether you like that or not. That is who I am and if you want to debate me, that is what you're gonna get. But, be that as it may, as an American who wants to preserve what ever wholesomeness is left in our culture, I stand against homosexuality and same-sex marriage and I regard it as degrading and will vote for those who stand with me on that.
