    You are beginning to sound like a humanist, religious zealot.

    Were you not paying attention? The stereotype that polys are just men wanting multiple wives. Quite honestly it goes right up there with the stereotype of gays being homosexual men (not to mention the pedophile stereotype that went along with it, that is thankfully dwindling now) and that trans are men who dress as women. All theee communities have so many more people than men within them and wanting so much more that the stereotypes portray. For example, I am in a poly unit where I have not only two wives, but a husband as well.

    I am beginning to think that you are not the Renee I thought you were.

    Homosexual relationships and something like "marriage" existed already in the early ancient ages and they are even in the nature at some animals not unusual.

    So why do these stupid and superfluous Christian moral prescriptions impose on all others, whether they believe in the Christian God or not? Therefore, a clear yes ... because even if I am not gay, I hold it here with the old Prussian principle of Frederick the Great!

    That's not a stereotype. Polys want multiple wives. Its fact. I don't think you understand what a stereotype is . Gay men prefer men...fact
    Gay men love to hang out in bars is a stereotype

    yes it is. Polys also want multiple husbands, and want both multiple wives and husbands. Women are polys as well. Sure if you want you can point out specific polys and say they specifically only want multiple wives, and that would include women as well. Same can be said for those wanting only multiple husbands and those who are happy with multiple spouses, regardless of gender. Women are gays too. While they do get a gender specific label of lesbians, they are not excluded from the gay label, yet stereotypically, when discussing gays, women are not mentioned. Same with trans. There are plenty of FtM's out there, but where the topic arises, the stereotype is that trans are males seeking to be females and usually to do perverted things in restrooms with kids.

    As I say, if you feel so,passionately about polys organize the millions who support it...or maybe the dozens lol
    Trans don't do anything perverted in bathrooms. That's not a stereotype, that's ignorance, uneducated people believe that because they don't bother to educate themselves. How many little boys have been molested by trans women? Or is it males you're talking about. Straight males!

    You look it up....I've been down this road before. Secular humanism was once declared a religion by the supreme court. Religion- a particular system of faith or worship.
    Secular humanists are their own deity. They have faith in themselves as the infallible ones. They often use the term "enlightened" when referring to themselves. They worship at the alter of "ego".

    Lol...they don't have faith that they are infallible. secular humanism is a comprehensive, nonreligious lifestance incorporating: A naturalistic philosophy. A cosmic outlook rooted in science. A consequentialist ethical system.They just don't buy into religious dogma. Sorry you have such contempt for people who think for themselves and don't need an invisible man in the sky to fear.

    More or less abide by the 1st amendment.
    IMO, Federal laws should be written in such ways that they apply equally to ALL persons equally, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Catholic, atheist, male, female, single, married, child, adult, etc. There should be no laws created which attempt to right past wrongs or to try and create equality where none exists.
    While I do not support gay marriage, nor do I promote gay relationships, I recognize and accept the fact that they exist and as long as they don't require me to treat them different than I would any other man or woman, how they live their lives in private is their business, not mine.

    Do you support gay marriage?

    Where cultural issues haven't replaced politics I don't suppose people get worked up about it much. If it's what some people seriously want, where's the harm?

    I think many, if not most, people have no problem with same sex couples, only with the words marry, marriage, husband, wife, etc. being used. Communication becomes more difficult if we broaden the definition of words, and more precise definitions allows much more effective communication when we don't have to go to great length to explain the meaning of each word depending on who we are speaking with. A same sex couple, like an opposite sex couple is a partnership. One is between a man and a woman while the other is between two men or two women. A boy who would prefer to be a woman is still a boy and a girl who would prefer to be a boy is still a girl. The Left claims to be more based on scientific evidence, but in this case seems to want us to ignore science which has long been able to sex a child at birth. At the same time we are seeing the creation of new pronouns to refer to persons, so leave the words applicable to man and woman partnerships alone and create new words to clearly identify man and man or woman and woman partnerships.

    Words change...and It takes time to get used to them. For example we used to say fireman now we say fire fighters. Women don't refer to waitresses, they're all servers. Words were always male unless otherwise stated. I recently spoke and was introduced as an authoress. Why not just an author? You will notice young female actors do not refer to themselves as actresses, but actors.

    The words we choose to identify people are words of our own choosing. Just because it is politically correct to say servers does not mean we have to say it, we can still say waitresses and waiters, it is not a law where you have to be politically correct.

    Being sensitive is fine but being forced to be is just not right.
