Maybe this thread should be called the "generic straights talk about gays and gay issues" thread.
I'm tired of arguing with str8s about the way I feel, the way I feel I am hardwired, the way I feel gays should have equal protection and recognition under the law that str8s have.
To me, it makes no sense to say that legalizing/recognizing gay marriage/gay unions will open a Pandora's box. I still think the concept of "two consenting adults as defined by law" makes sense. And as such, it would prohibit legalized bestiality (an animal is not an adult human) and pedophilia (again, no consenting adult). And what about incest? Well, if it's between male and female siblings, well, it's a heterosexual issue. And if it's between same-sex relations, well, at least nobody can get pregnant and reproduce.
And those worried about NAMBLA...NAMBLA is, quite frankly, a fringe element (and every group has fringe elements). I have NEVER spoken with another gay man about NAMBLA. I have with several str8 male friends, but never has it come in conversation between me and any of my gay male friends. The gay men I know are not interested in sex with any male under 21. They're not predators, not rapists.
