Gay Marriage: Why the christians need to STFU about it

RE: Gay Marriage: Why the christians need to STFU about it
(May 20, 2012 at 12:50 am)Aiza Wrote: overrepresented within Catholic priesthood). They don't believe in gay marriage, but neither did, say, the ancient Greeks. And I don't think they "persecuted homosexuality".

LMAO!! You're using the Ancient Greeks as an example against same sex marriage??

Marriage was a side dish or only a necessity for procreation in their flamboyant homosexual society. The Ancient Greeks were VERY VERY in tune with homosexuality, it was not only legal, it was quite the norm. Homosexuality was rampant, practiced, accepted, encouraged etc. even after the man was married.

Achilles and Patrocles were thought to be lovers
Apollo was bisexual (the story of Hyacinth for example)
Zeus was bisexual
and I'm sure there are countless other stories to cite as well

In Sparta, women had thier heads shaved on their wedding nights so that their husbands could transition more easily from male sex to female sex.

Sure they might not have had same sex marriage in their society, but it was not for reasons of "preserving the sanctity of marriage" like you're trying to claim. Same sex marriage didn't exist in their society because marriage to Greek men was simply a necessary institution to where they had the convenience of their wives to run their home, bear and raise their children while they, the men, ran the society and oftentimes continued getting male booty (pun intended) on the side.

Pardon the coarseness (and mods feel free to get rid of it if I've crossed a line) but see Aiza:

and trust me there are worse ancient Greek homosexual art than that if you don't believe me.
