    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?

    because it is natural and serves a purpose

  • 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?

    What business is it of anyone but the two people involved?
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    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
