What happens if you don't agree with the homosexual agenda? They'll do everything they can to defame you, shut down your business, and make sure you are never heard from in public again. People aren't allowed to have a difference of opinion when it comes to "gay rights", see. If... [Full Story]

...but I'm going to have to give it some more thought. This is the kind of legal tactic I wish my fellow gay marriage supporters (er... "supporters of gay marriage," not "gay supporters of marriage" -- not that there's anything wrong with that) would take up more often. It goes... [Full Story]

Bedfellows make for strange politics

Provincetown, Massachusetts, is regarded as "Gay Central" in New England. It has a tremendous gay populace, and I've sometimes heard it called the "San Francisco" of New England. The gay culture is not only thriving there, but in some ways downright dominant. (Disclaimer: I've never set foot in the city,... [Full Story]

Gay marriage and the fragile tyranny of the minority

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: October 7, 2005 · Comments (133)

In my posting on gay marriage yesterday, a few commenters questioned the sincerity of my belief in gay marriage, saying that subsuming it to public opinion gave me an "easy out." That's a valid question, and one I believe deserves a sincere answer. My position is often stated in idealism... [Full Story]

Signs of sanity in the gay marriage fight

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: September 14, 2005 · Comments (27)

I've always been of the opinion that the only way gay marriage will come about, and stay, was when it was generally accepted by the people. And the best way that would happen would be incrementally, in stages, with concessions and acceptances done over time. Conversely, I said that if... [Full Story]

Gays to voters: "We know where you live"

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: September 8, 2005 · Comments (32)

I've said, repeatedly, that I'm in favor of gay marriage. But I support it ONLY if it's enacted properly, by legislative act or popular vote, such as through a referendum. To bring it about by fiat, such as was done in Massachusetts, will ultimately be self-defeating. That out of the... [Full Story]
