A lot of people don't.

In fact, a good portion of the e-mail I got in response to my latest commentary on this issue (read it here) can be summed up with: "Don't like it; Don't want it; Won't accept it."

Ken Rosencrantz: "It's a very small (gay) minority demanding civil rights for a lifestyle choice, demanding the majority accept their views...They are not normal and never will be."

Roger LaRue: "Why should modern society attempt to normalize (homosexual) behavior by recognizing the marriage of pairs of these sick people?"

Tom Ball writes with a similar theme: "Why should society dignify (homosexuals who) behave in a way that most people think is wrong and self-destructive?"

William Stapleton: "When the gay minority try to legislate (or impose) their beliefs on the majority, the majority must stand up and declare that the (gay) lifestyle is perverted and wrong."

Tim Pitts says that if gays can marry: "Why can't I marry my cousin or my sister? ...Marriage has always been between a man and a woman. Anything else and it's not marriage any more.

Mingled among the emails that disagreed with me were many who wrote to say thanks for what I said, and how I said it.

Agree with me or not, I always appreciate hearing from everyone.
