Information isnt Advocacy
^Watch what Seabiscuit can't answer...
1.) Provide the Literature from the APA Justifying their Removal of Homosexuals from the list of the Mentally Ill and that Countered their Prior Conclusion.
2.) Let the class know if the Groups like the ILGA were Allied with NAMBLA and into the 90's, if NAMBLA Marched in Gay Pride Parades into the 90's, and if the National Charter for Gays shortly after Stonewall called for an End of Age of Consent Laws Nationally.
Seabiscuit will avoid this post.
peace...
I did Mal...take the time to read the links. Afraid of a little education that goes against your worldview? That's what happens to religious extremists.
well twichey, I see that you are still in denial about this whole subject.
first, being opposed to gay marriage may or may not be religiously based
I never said it was. Not all bigots are religiously based bigots. Some are the "I'm afraid of the gay in me" bigots and some are just "gays are icky so I hate them" bigots.
second, the majority support equal rights for gays, marriage is not a right
Yes, it is. Loving v Virginia, Zablocki v Wisconsin, Turner v Safley. All those cases declared marriage a fundamental right. Also, majority support is for marriage equality included in those rights.
third, a legal sanctioned civil union gives you all of the rights you want and need
No, they don't and it's been pointed out where they don't. Civil Unions would give YOU all the rights. Why aren't they good enough for you? I'd be find with civil unions if they applied to straight couples as well as gay couples. Do it Fishy, get the government out of the "marriage business". I'm not going to waste any time on it because I don't care what it's called, you do. I'm legally married and I'm cool with you being legally married too. You're not cool with it so the onus is on you to get it changed...for everyone though Fishy.
fourth, the gay agenda is not about equality, its about forced societal acceptance of a deviant abnormal lifestyle.
No, that's your interpretation of our struggle for equality. That's because you oppose it. Of course you're going to see it that way...but nobody is forcing anything on you Fishy. You can pretend I'm not legally married if it suits your fantasy. I'm still filing my taxes and getting my spouse her dependent ID.
fifth, I don't care if homosexuality is genetic, environmental, or learned. No matter how it comes about, it is not a normal human condition.
I don't care how it "came about" either. This is just the way I've always felt, from my earliest memories. You're right though...it's not a "normal" human condition. Like being left handed or red haired isn't a "normal" human condition.
sixth, continuing to try to ram your lifestyle up everyone else's butt (no pun intended) will alienate more than it will convert.
Of course the pun was intended. It might be totally Freudian, but it was intended. What is being forced on you? The polls don't bear out your contention. Support for marriage equality just continues to climb.
seventh, STFU about it, enjoy your partner, and stop trying to use the government to force societal acceptance.
No, I won't STFU I do enjoy my partner and our family and I'm not using the government for anything. People are fighting for equality, period. That the government must get involved is only because some continue to violate the Constitution. Not my fault.
eigth, of all the things that this country really needs to work on, gay life is way down the list in importance.
So go focus and stop flying to gay threads Mr. Moth to a flamer.
