*sings* I have a loyal cohort, I have a loyal cohort... (sorry, that was for kale)
I would also like to point out that I too was raised in a military family. My father fought in the first Persian Gulf war, my mother stayed at home to raise three kids. She worked when she could in order to support our family. I was raised in trailer parks as we moved from state to state as my dad worked his way up the ranks in the military. The family values that my parents instilled in me were these:
Family comes first. When a member of your family is in trouble, nothing else matters. Even if you have issues with the person, you should do whatever you can to help them.
Help people. Doesn't matter who they are... stop for stranded people on the side of the road, give what you can to charity, you never know when you might be the person needing help.
Respect people no matter who they are. There are no such things as race, religion, or sexuality. We are all humans and this is what we must hold on to. This is our common ground.
Loyalty and love are the two best gifts you can give anyone.
This is why, even in a deeply southern household such as my own, that when I came out I had the full support of my family. There is not a person to whom I'm related that wouldn't stand up for me to anyone who thought they were better than me because I was gay and they weren't.
You won't meet a family that understands the bonds that family ties hold more than my family. My family is the most important thing in my life, just as any family I might have will be to me.
I know that I've covered this before, but Kale brought it up, and quite frankly it really burns me that anyone would have the balls to say that homosexuals don't see marriage the same way as hetero's do...
For someone who ended a post stating that I brought no facts to the table but only attempted to make emotions sound like logical arguments, where is your basis for this? Do some Research Monkey and bring me some facts that prove your completely asinine opinion holds a single shred of truth.

, hypocrite, bigot
*could* marry a nice girl, but he wouldn't be in love with her/attracted to her (unless of course, she had killer pants). One would hope that a prime motivator for getting married would be that you were in love with the person, and since could never conceivably fall in love with a "nice girl", then it's not really his choice is it?
