    furthermore, when did legalized marriage become a right? Is it discrimination when teenagers aren't allowed to legally marry? Is it discrmination when an adult wants to marry someone "underage"?

    Discrimination against some societal issues is a necessity.

    what the fuck do teenagers and underage kids have to do with gays being allowed to be married? two consenting, homosexual adults are a relatively different story than underage scenarios.

    It is discrimination to force everyone to accept the homosexual lifestyle.
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    yeah see there's kind of a problem with your logic considering when someone is convicted of a crime and incarcerated, they lose their basic freedoms and liberties--except for those still promised by the constitution. i'm pretty sure being gay doesn't have a legal effect on your rights as a citizen...super awesome analogy though.
    nope..when you strip them of their rights and incarcerate them, by your reasoning, you are discriminating. You are labeling them and lumping them into a category.

    My point to this analogy was that discrimination is necessary sometimes.

    nope...we are talking human rights here. Who is to say that teenagers aren't going to start a war on discrimination. Claiming that as humans the "legal age" issue unconstitutional.

    Again, discrimination is sometimes necessary.

  • sure, i'll concede that. necessary when someone is guilty of rape or murder or molestation. what are gays guilty of again? ohhhh, yeah that's right, they're guilty of being the target of harrassment and prejudice from ignorant morons. i'm not asking you to accept anyone's lifestyle, i'm just suggesting you to but out and stop worrying about something that has aboslutely nothing to do with you as a heterosexual. if you think you shouldn't be forced to accept their lifestyle, why should they be forced to accept yours?

  • and i would just LOVE to see teens fight back against the legal adult age since if--for some INSANE reason--it even made it onto a bill, they sorta wouldn't be able to vote for it...

    What do you mean exactly when you say the above? Are you being forced to have a homosexual relationship? Or do you just not like the idea of not being able to abuse or discriminate against folks you like to pass judgment on?

    the only logical rational for thinking that gay marriage is a threat to hetrosexual marriage is because she must be worried that if gay marriage were made legal her husband would divorce her and go on to marry a man

    ok...so take that the next step further. What if teens fight to get the voting age lowered because it is unconstitutional. The writting of the constitution states 'every man woman and child" has equal rights. So therefore, shouldn't we let children vote as well? When we stop them, we are violating their basic rights.

    dont be coy...you know very well that anyone who disagrees with the lifestyle and speaks out against it is harrassed and labled. This is hypocrisy. If you want gays to be accepted for their views and choices then you have to accept the views and choices of those who disagree.

    It has nothing to do with threat. It has to do with disgust.

    Isnt it interesting that those who "support" tolerance and antisocial thinking always resort to petty name calling and personal attacks to try and win the argument? Are you really that stupid?

    And what exactly is so disgusting?

    show me where in that post I called anyone a name or personally attacked anyone...hell, show me where I mentioned any person in particular?

    here's an idea: if you find gay marriage so disgusting then don't divorce your husband then go on to marry a woman!

    what two other consenting gay or lesbian adults do has not a damn thing to do with you or your marriage

    It has absolutely nothing to do with my marriage. It has to do with marriage as a whole. Homosexual marriage goes against the tradition of original marriage. It was designed to incorporate one man and one woman. To allow same sex marriages trivializes that institution.

    you personally attacked me by assuming that I was fearful of my husband running away to another man. Again, a bright person would have seen that. Sorry, it seems you are quite challenged. I'll dumb down my responses for you from now on.

    no, i said that that was the only logical rational someone would have for thinking it to be a threat to hetrosexual marriage. why are you so defensive? you took it personally, and for all you know i was talking about my sister.

    you've refered to me as stupid and now challenged, so to say that what you're saying is hypocritical, judgemental and moronic would just be me using adjectives that describe you, being that you're a something or someone....or is it only okay for you to hurl insults?

    I think you know how the lyric goes: "if you hate something, don't you do it to"

    Youre right..Ill be the bigger person and let you have the last word now. Obviously that concept is lost on you.

    For the record, it is quite obvious that you were not talking about your "sister" The post you quoted was directed at me. Are you 12? Twisting and lieing to get out of a tough spot? Tisk tisk.

    By that logic, couples should be forced to procreate.

  • ah, the sea-deep void of ignorance....i'm sure people who oppose gay marriage are REALLY oh so worried about the sanctity of marriage. i mean, god...if gays marry, society will absolutely crumble. with the tradition of marriage tainted with the likes of freddy mercury and ellen degeneres, how can we all go on? i, for one, am reeeeaaaally worried about keeping the traditional idea of marriage the same forever. it's sooooooo relevant to day-to-day life. so pathetic.

    Right. I love that logic. So infertile hetero couples obviously shouldn't be allowed to marry, since they can't procreate. And what's up with condoms and the pill? Don't they create an unnatural union? People who enter into a marriage contract should also contract with the state to shun birth control, right? Afterall, procreation is the standard by which we measure the validity of a union now.

But really, you are if you are unwilling to accept my opinion too. By your statement, I only lose my label if I agree with you. Isn't it amazing how tolerance tends to be one sided.


    I am perfectly happy to be a bigot of bigots! I don't have a problem with that. If that's your argument... that I, or in this case jeffbr, is being bigoted against bigots... well, I find THAT to be funny!
