How is spitting on interracial marriages any different than spitting on homosexual marriages? In both cases the marriages were between consenting adults. In both cases the marriages were banned by bigots. How is racial discrimination based on religious fears of hell on earth and rapture coming with racial mixing any different than homophobic discrimination based on religious fears of an ensuing Babylon, hell on earth and rapture coming with homosexual marriages?Take your pick.. a society of homophobic bigots that injures anyone that dares to live outside of societal norms, or a society that is tolerant of people that do not adhere to societal norms with regard to sexual orientation of consenting adults.BStwo gays should be able to enter into a civil union or a mutual support contract that would give them the same rights and priviledges as a man/woman marriage.
the gay agenda is not about equality or rights, its about using the government to mandate societal acceptance of an aberant abnormal lifestyle. the gay agenda insists on the word marriage because they think it would signal society that it must accept homosexuality as a normal human condition.
Thats the issue, not equality or rights. you may think homosexuality is a normal human condition, a vast majority of the people on planet earth do not.
First why should gays have to use the term civil union vs. heterosexual marriage? What are you the term police?
Second who the hell cares what the agenda is, the issue is not agenda the issue is ACTUAL HARM OUR LAWS ARE CAUSING THEM.
Third I don't think homosexuality is a normal human condition, nor do I think homosexuals think they are "normal." What is wrong with being unique or novel? We're all different in our own ways. Sure the vast majority aka normal human condition is heterosexuality, so what? Most people are over 5' tall does that mean we should have laws restricting people under 5' from getting married? OMFG look that person's to short that's not normal, we need to remove their genes and keep them from getting married?
It has to do with our society as a whole and the messages that are sent to our children. Societies crumble when they lose their moral compass and their sense of right and wrong.
If you don't care about the future of mankind and want an "anything goes" kind of culture, fine. I do not want that kind of culture for my kids and grandkids and their kids and grandkids.
Do you spit on gays physically as well... or do you just spit on their dreams?
Did we crumble as a nation when interracial marriages started taking place?
So if someone disagrees you call them a homophobic bigot who spits on gays and back this up with an apples and oranges comparison. Yeah that's tolerant.
Are they not both bigotry against minority couples based on fear uncertainty and doubt trumpeted at them by religious zealots who place the crown on their heads?
As for your request that I be tolerant of bigotry. Puleze.
How many times do you need to read something before you understand it? The debate on interracial marriage was concerning one man/one woman marriages. not a black man and a white man.
ITS NOT THE SAME. There is no bigotry in wanting gays to be able to legally commit to each other.
It also has nothing to do with religion, it has to do with biology.
