So why wasn't your argument based on homosexuality? Shouldn't your answer be based on homosexuality, instead of something differnt?
I think the point was that IF one believes that homosexuals are a minority group based on their sexual preference, then so too are pedophiles. Laws forbidding acts of pedophilia are therefore restrictive of the rights of pedophiles. Just as laws forbidding homosexuals from engaging in homosexual acts or marriage are restrictive of the rights of homosexuals. But, pedophiles are not limited to homosexuals, and are considered mentally ill or perverts. Then again, 40 years ago, homosexuality was considered to be a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association too. Perhaps in 40 years, we will be debating whether or not pedophiles can marry children too.
A brother an sister can love each other have sex and be consentin adults. They don't have to have children. Sounds pretty sick huh? That's how homosexuality sounds to me. They both have a long history of it happening. Yet one group feels they deserve special rights over another. homosexuality is not a civil right it's a mental disorder born with or not it needs to be treated and not promoted.
because he disagrees with you and feels the people should decide? well i guess that settles that then doesn't it. we're talking about making rules for people who engage in sexual activities differently than 97% of everyone else. We're not talking about race or gender. We're talking about wasting all these cycles for a group who has sex differently
Real simple folks.The perverts are trying to take over. Gays exist for one reason and one only.Their Proclivity. Show me a Gay,any Gay who does not act upon their sex urge. Gays sole purpose for existence is to consider Sex. That is the definition of a Pervert.Plain & simple.
Christie has national political ambitions within the Republican Party, either on Mitt Romney's ticket this year, or running for president himself in 2016. That's really the only reason for this. Christie knows that this veto was wrong, and that it makes him out-of-touch with the people of New Jersey. But he's more worried about winning over Republican primary voters in Iowa and South Carolina, who aren't going to support someone who signed gay marriage equality into law.
People do not decide rights for minorities or minorities would never have rights. No it doesn't settle it at all. We engage in activities that are very normal for us. You 97% are very odd in our eyes. You understand us about as well as we understand you. That as zero %. Yes we have sex differently and are attracted differently and the US has wasted more money trying to keep us less than it is worth. The ignorance of the general population knows no bounds and because it kills that that we are different will do anything to prevent what goes on in other peoples bedrooms. It looks like you're all jealous and want to participate or watch. I don't care what you do sexually why do you care what my wife and I do? It seems a tad sick to me worrying how sex is in someone else s bedroom. So are you saying you're sick worrying about it?
And how many heterosexuals do not act on their urges. Given your response FOOLardi is the perfect name for you. Thanks for sharing from the shallow end of the gene pool. It's good someone took the time to teach you how to type.
WTF? Wow. Just Wow. Trust me on this. Homosexuals are not taking over. They want to stay as far away from you as possible.
The idea that a majority of people in a given jurisdication can deny equal rights to a minority of their neighbours is NOT what the "founders" would have wanted. Very unrepublican idea that, wot?
As much as a lot of Americans distrust Muslims, we have a lot of things in common with the Islamic World when it comes to our perception of gays. That's not a good thing.
Heterosexuals should not be pigenholed like Gays. Because Gays are thoroughly single-minded.They are ALL about their proclivity or Sex urge.It literally dominates all else in their life. Heterosexuals have lives outside their Proclivity,whereas Gays do not. That is a proven fact. Show me a Gay who does not have sex,or is Asexual. There are none.There are plenty of Asexuals who are Priests, Nuns,Brothers,Preachers,Missionaries,Clergy,Schoolmarms, Day care and Social Workers,Peace Corps. volunteers who do not engage in sex and ARE Asexual. Gays Cannot and can never make that claim. Because gays are never Asexual.Therefore Gays must act out on their sexual urge or preference. Heterosexuals may or may not act out on sexual urges. Not the case with Gays. I just proved it.Gays are NEVER Asexual. I want the name of one,just one Asexual Gay.
There are plenty of sex-obsessed heterosexuals, and plenty of LGBTs for whom sex does not 'dominate' their lives. Try again.
If that is so then give me the name of One,just One Asexual Gay. There are literally Millions of Asexual heterosexuals. My Mother being one.After my father died.
You confuse a heterosexual who chooses not to engage in sexual behavior as being asexual. If your mother were truly asexual you would not exist. Asexuals are, by definition, not heterosexual. If your mother is truly asexual, and had sex for the purpose of procreation only, without sexual urge, are you also bigoted against your mother? As your mother isn't heterosexual, is she therefore a target of discrimination? I would think not, and I hope you would feel the same, although discrimination of homosexuals would make you a hypocrite.
