Huckabee calls for MLK-like passive resistance to gay marriage ruling

BT you sound like a gay person who is in denial, you do realize that it is not a choice, we are either wired one way or the other. Sometimes it even gets so that a baby is identified as one gender but that the soul inside knows that it really belongs to the opposite gender.

Denial? I don't think that was the case at all. I walked down the aisle with my groom and was wed in a very formal, traditional wedding - in front of family and friends - and came out fully intent on living a gay life wed to my groom. I think I was embracing it.

Your recent posts sound as if you are against gay unions - in case use of the word 'marriage' offends some folk.

Florence and I had thirty-three years as soulmates, she passed into the light three days before our 32 wedding anniversary. Nothing in the world outside could have threatened our marriage, we were the only ones who could offer it a threat. As a Jewish friend put it we were b'sheirt - destined for each other even before birth.While she could still speak her last words to me were 'I love you'. We had quite simply fallen in love at our first meeting - and never looked back.

Despite my own emotions and feelings, I have the tendency to look at things from an anthropological and sociological standpoint, with a healthy dose of historical perspective thrown in. On all continents, in every country, culture, society, whatever, the way the human race has perpetuated itself for eons is marriage and the family and good ol' put your penis in the vagina sex. That's just how it works. Yeah, me and my groom get all dressed up, have a wedding, get our hearts racing and get all turned on, and yeah, we're very much in love, but in the big picture the whole "penis in the vagina" thing is undeniably invaluable. Before Todd, I'd fully expected a wedding in my future - to a bride - followed by babies and all that. Apparently not. But I'm still honest enough with myself and endeavoring to regard things from a standpoint of genuine intellect, unclouded by my own wants, desires, or feelings.
