If you had been paying attention, you would have known that it is not the gays the created Public Accomodation laws....NOR are gays the only people who PA laws affect. Where have you been for the decades such PA laws have been in affect? Why are you crying just now?Some of my best friends and family are straights....but that does not give straights permission to vote away my civil rights.What does slavery have to do with gay sex and the gay sex culture?[
And instead you got two entire testimonies which should have been more sufficient to prove that the bible was, indeed, used to justify slavery, segregation and anti miscegenation. And apparently, you weren't even denying that it was (and is).![]()
If they can't make the slavery analogy, their argument falls apart. Thats why they keep bringing it up.
uh, no, we bring it up because your main justification for your homophobia is that God says it's bad.
And even though you ignore a whole list of things God says is bad, you want to harp on this one thing.
But the bible says slavery is okay, and people used it to justify slavery right up until the civil war.
nothing you said is true. I am not a homophobe. I have gay friends and relatives and love and respect every one of them. I want them to be able to have a legal binding committment to their same sex partners.
But their union is not, and will never be, a marriage. The gays that I know agree with that, BTW.![]()
What does whether you have the right to marry or not have to do with forcing other people to do business with you?
Here's a DIRECT analogy.
It has been ruled that we have an absolute right to own and carry weapons, yet many businesses are posting signs stating that they don't want to do business with people who are carrying guns. How is that NOT a direct violation of your precious civil rights if you have the right to force people to do business with you?
Hint, you do NOT have the right to force people to do business with you. And frankly if you would accept and acknowledge that fact, you would have the higher moral ground that these nincompoops who for whatever reason believe the government should define marriage.
As for your analogy....isn't it just "open carry" they object to? Honestly, I expect that kind of thing to end up in the courts soon enough, don't you?
Not really, because most gun owners I know aren't giant pussies intent on forcing other people to fit their agenda
