Thread: Prohibition of Gay Marriage is Sexist

My life partner was just layed off, and does not have any health coverage. I can not cover her under my policy at my job, because it is not allowed there. We are scrambling to pay for her blood pressure medicine and her potassium. Fair???

I don't think most 'homophobes' will see that as a problem or unfair at all.

They have no compassion. Her partner should be covered, the only reason she isn't is because she happens to be the 'wrong' sex.

where is the "damage" ?

Where's the "damage"? Exactly.. It's nowhere in my post. That's just you making a misquote. I've not argued about any "damage". Try again.

Although in reading the rest of the thread real damage has been pointed out so I wouldn't disagree with someone claiming damage.

They are just saying, "hey dumbass, you're doing it wrong". Yin and Yang, homos. It's the balance of the universe.

Also a misquote. Your quotation alters the context and is not my argument and not my quotation.

Quoting people's actual words and responding to things actually said isn't that hard people.

Now, my argument was not sexism due to whether or not men and women can or cannot both get married, my argument was about WHO they are allowed to marry.

Your argument's the faulty one. It's like saying that making black people ride in the back of the bus isn't racist, because everybody's still allowed to ride the bus.

Gay marriage introduces a numerical disparity which previously was impossible.

Yeah. Also it introduces women wearing a tuxedo one day, a bit of extra bookings for the banquet hall, and more crumbs of cake on the floor.. I'm failing to see the relevance and/or concern here.. Is your community being overrun by some kind of "disparity" or something? Is this somehow problematic?

It might be more profound to mention the extra instances of exploding birds it might cause.. No really I'm kidding, the birds don't really explode. It's like a little treat for them.

Just out of curiosity though. What is the disparity? Can you show the numbers? I'm guessing it's not very much if there is one at all but maybe you could share. I know it's not relevant but just for sake of knowing.

Also, I recommend research the concept and definition for sexism and what it is. Sexism may affect the numbers of people who do certain things in some cases, but it is not defined by the numbers of people who do certain things. Sexism is defined by opportunities, and a disparity between them for men and women, not disparity between numbers. Numbers can sometimes indicate sexism, like pay grade differences and such. But in that case it would be opportunity to earn that pay grade which is the deciding factor.

The only thing that would be close to sexism based on numbers would be some kind of quota system, like affirmative action for college entrance or something, but even then it's offering different chances/odds of making it in and/or higher criteria/standards/hurdles being applied which again comes back to a disparity in opportunity between men and women.

They are just saying, "hey dumbass, you're doing it wrong"

According to.... ???

Who's the official defining authority who determines the right and wrong way?

Yin and Yang, homos. It's the balance of the universe.

So you're trying to balance things out against all the civil and polite people in the universe?

btw, your sig, that was a great movie... but the idea you seem to fear is... Same sex marriage

before inter-racial marriage was legalized, some did not like the idea of blacks and white marrying either.. but both blacks and white were "allowed" to get married, just not to the one they loved if they were not the right race

"But no one is saying "you can't get married because you are a man/woman"... back then no one was saying you couldn't marry cause you were black/white either...

Agreed

we need to dump Obamacare and allow isnurance firms to cross borders/compete so if I want to buy a family plan and place my sister or brother on it I should be allowed..............next case please that has no bearing on how you have sex

nope

just because she sleeps with a same-sex person does not mean the problem is limited just to her. Why can't I buy a family plan and place my sister or mother on it? Whoops, I guess it's not just a problem for those engaging in gay sex now is it?

Obamacare is a shill which did nothing for actual issues which could be addressed privately if the cuffs were removed from the wrists of ins companies

not when you have a homophobes denying you access, you need the law on your side to override the idiots

first, your article doesn't link and anyway, lemme guess, there was no living will or power of attorney was there? We can find stories about anything if we try hard enough and it's not just about those who engage in gay relations.

again, please show me the "problem" which the gay movement claims is so big where there are not already contracts in place to cover the "issues"

or, is this just another veiled attempt at legislating thought and that all important "acceptance"
