Also, in the end, the rest of the world generally\u00a0doesn&#8217;t abide thieves \u2013 no matter how cleverly they steal, which\u00a0is exactly what you are doing! You covet the power and privilege that has been built into the word &#8216;marriage&#8217; over a long period of time, and have now set your sights on simply taking the whole of it \u2013 and making it your own. Make no mistake; it\u2019s plain to see that your community has cleverly and successfully hoodwinked much of mainstream society into feeling the emotionality of your cause. But, know this, there are still plenty of us who WILL NOT simply stand-by and allow what has been ours for centuries to be gratuitously plucked up and taken from us.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00a0respectfully request that the LGBT community stop trying to be thieves, and become a little more creative in coming up with your own term \u2013 and leave ours alone!!! Despite what you have so desperately been trying to persuade the rest of us to believe, we simply do not view your collective lifestyle as being anything like ours, and are therefore refusing you the use of our sacred term.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, go\u00a0and get your own!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-TomZom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; OK, so let\u2019s just go ahead and address at least one aspect of the 900 pound gorilla sitting in the midst of all the gay marriage advocates.
