Thank you for your commentary, Ms. Malkin. While I'm glad that Prop 8 won the majority vote, it's disheartening to see other aspects of our society succumb to the demands of the GLBT agenda. "This is much bigger than just a question of whether or not society should be more tolerant of the homosexual lifestyle. Over past years we have seen unrelenting pressure from advocates of that lifestyle to accept as normal what is not normal, and to characterize those who disagree as narrow-minded, bigoted and unreasonable. Such advocates are quick to demand freedom of speech and thought for themselves, but equally quick to criticize those with a different view and, if possible, to silence them by applying labels like 'homophobic.'" (Dallin H. Oaks) While I do not harbor any animosity nor hatred toward anyone of the GLBT community, I will never allow my convictions and faith to be trampled by a desire to have their lifestyle choice be accepted as mainstream. There are so many more reasons why I felt it was important to vote YES on Prop 8 posted on my blog: http://yes-on-prop8.blogspot.com/ .

When I was young homosexuals were scorned and remained mostly in the closet. In the 70's they were starting to come out and Hollywood was pushing their agenda. Today they are forcing more and more of their perversions on society. I thank God I will be dead before they make it compulsory.

So now will men be allowed to join battered women's and rape support groups? If eHarmony were a tax exempt organization, or supported by public funds, I might see some possibility of a point. The 'gay' part of this issue aside, it's still a major assault on the right to run ones business as one sees fit. Will Synagogues be required to take Muslim members or vis versa? How long before transvestites must be allowed in Miss America competitions? Boys in the Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls? Yes, a couple of those points are a bit absurd, but not much more so than reality. This is a DATING service. Race, religion, national origin, etc. should never be a disqualifier for membership. Plenty of interracial and cross nationality realtionships flourish. I don't know a lot of [any] gay people who are in happy, healthy relationships with non-gays, however. Why a gay person would want to put their names in front of a group of straight people for consideration as DATES [or vis versa]confounds me. If eHarmony was the only dating service in the world, and gay people had no alternative, that's one thing. With literally thousands of G&L dating services online, however, I see this as little more than an exercise by LAWYERS in pushing their limits beyond what's reasonable. There, I said it ... the "L" word ... the true root of much evil. Egg

"Man seeking young boys and girls" will be next. Gays are intolerant and pushy. They have quietly insinuated themselves in many areas. And then we wonder how such disgusting decisions come about. You do have a right to freedom of association and to run your business as you see fit. It is just that closet activists deny it to us and we just take it. I don't believe in discriminating against anyone for an accident of birth, but I do believe I have a inherent right to have my own beliefs and not be coerced by others to believe as they do. Why do we never hear about studies by psychiatrists about sexual preference? Is it because they know the zealots would try to destroy their business so the safer road is taken. The only studies we are fed are those done by "unbiased" gay researchers. This is downright extortion and it takes away any sympathy I may have previously held for these people who were unfairly treated in the past.

The gay movement is not now and probably never was about tolerance. It is about compulsory approval --- using a combination of the courts, government bureaucracies, litigation, and street thug tactics to force all of society to bend the knee in submission to this group. That means the silencing of and then approval by every educational, civic, government, and religious institution, and, for those that will not give in, marginalization from the rest of society. For most of them, not having children to support has given its members financial power far disproportionate to its numbers --- a power that's useful for attracting the supplication of politicians desperate for campaign handouts and for employing the nation's very best lawyers toward their end of limitless power. e-Harmony is only one of many casualties to this effort. The gay movement in New Jersey has also gone after the Boy Scouts for their scout leader selection policies. They have gone after religious charities, even forcing Catholic adoption agencies to shut down. They have shown every intention of intimidating and eventually forcing closure of churches and denominations that fail to yield to their philosophy. e-Harmony is a sign of many more excesses to come.

You jerks would sing a different tune if you had to fight to be able to do what other people take for granted. How gay people marrying or meeting each other affects your happiness escapes me.

It's the sodomite bullies forcing private businesses and individuals to cater to their perverted life choices that affects our happiness. It's the prospect that our boys might be camping with perverts in the Boy Scouts if the GLBT community gets its way; or that our daughters, even now, might be in danger from lesbian troop leaders. It isn't like they don't have means to meet through a plethora of websites and other venues; it's that they can't stand it when others won't cater to their perversion. I am disappointed that e-Harmony did not fight this, as the Boy Scouts have successfully done. I think their chances would have been good. Am I homophobic? Yes, I am scared of the radical homosexual agenda destroying our society and first amendment rights, and endangering our children in the process. Just watch the "gay pride" marches in places like San FranSicko. The perversions that take place in public are indicative of what the perverts pushing this agenda would like to see in every city and town in our nation. Get ready, everyone. The nuts and perverts are jumping out of the closet again.

Gays and straights have the same rights. Gays can marry people of the opposite sex and so can straights. Gays can't marry people of the same sex and neither can straights. Gays barging in on a Christian dating website when they have many gay sites bothers me. Because it is wrong. Freedom of choice should should mean a person can choose what service their company provides without harassment and legal costs from someone who thinks otherwise.

Though well-meaning, Michelle sadly doesn't get it re "gay," proving "conservatives" just as dangerous as "liberals" (both meaningless terms) in their inability to address the homoeroticism, 99%+ of America brainwashed about it, especially but not only those promoting the evil foundational for Hitler's Germany, as seen in "The Pink Swastika." (www.abidingtruth.com/pfrc/books/pinkswastika/html/the_pinkswastika_4th_edition_-_final.htm). "The gay invention" at http://touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=18-10-036-f exposes the oxymoronic propaganda nature of the evil, that all rational shrinks not in the pay of homoerotics and Democrats know is dysfunctional psychosis. There never was "homosex-" anything (homo=same, sex=opposite, by definition) and a literally diseased deathstyle (more than just AIDS) that halves the lifespan cannot rationally be considered "gay," only calls so by deranged antiChrist bigots and their fools. The lie comparing this to the civil rights for darks that many of the Founders intended, unlike homoeroticism, is grossly ironic in that only murderers want to let these proven infantile psychotics get their way; those wanting to save them having to oppose their psychosis in love as you oppose other psychotics with mental hospitals, etc. Of course since most today are effectively brainwashed, believing Dem media prostitute lies, there's likely little that can be done except watch homoerotics commit suicide cheered on by Democrats and media, ironically "tolerantly" preventing Christians from rescuing them to then stand before God in the Judgment when Him asks them why before sending them to eternal Christless hell for rejecting Jesus Who died that they love Him above all and their neighbor as themselves when they were so deranged by their perversion's antiChrist bigotry they preferred to watch their homoerotic neighbor die, calling evil good. As Exodus International (www.exodus.to) and many other groups have shown, many have left the evil destructive homoerotic deathstyle and have real opposite sex spouses and natural kids, but of course they must be silenced in Nazi fashion to satisfy the intolerance of antiChrist bigotry that really drives this thing, something to which Michelle and other "conservatives" sadly close their eyes as they largely approach Jesus from the deranged notion of a civil religion figure, not the true Son of God the Founders knew Him to be. Bottom line, this is really a matter of God handing post-Christian Western civilization over to Biblical Romans 1 depravity, mirroring the USSR antiChrist delusion, blind to true history versus revisionist lies that Western civilization was Christian civilization, now crashing and burning having without its foundation, fools deluded into imagining it won't hurt. Try that with your residence. We're going done. See you in Obama's gas chamber, Christian! Russ Don't waste your life www.dontwasteyourlife.com
