except of course it's losing in federal court.

lol, you don't have a law degree.

Thats why I support all my views with court precedent while you and the others offer in response your personal opinions full of emotion and hormones

you keep parroting state courts. meanwhile, federal courts are smacking your arguments down .

Homosexuality is not normal at all it is an aberration that is just fact. Homosexuality is not a 'gender' it is a sexual preference only. For example, if you want to bugger your dog that is a sexual preference, the majority of the population does not and should not recognize that as equal to normal human heterosexual interaction because it would undermine accepted morality and eventually break-down a society.

Society need not recognize every narcissistic want and desire in order to have 'equality' in fact, a society needs to discriminate in certain areas in order to be a healthy society in the first place. Once a society starts to break down the traditional accepted morality it is on the road to destruction.

In this case, though your side has tried and tried and tried, you've never been able to show that homosexuality actually does hurt society, or that allowing same-sex marriage would hurt society, or actually does hurt it in the states that have already legalized it. It's actually quite humorous watching the anti-gay people try and argue against it because most can't come up with arguments that aren't based on, or are just a disguised version of, "gays are icky, eeeewwww". You have to all bring up prolific foreshadowing about the downfall of society(never substantiated though of course), or the downfall of traditional marriage(again, never substantiated), or as you posted earlier today, about recruiting new homosexuals since homosexuals can't procreate(that argument has to be the single most profoundly baffoonish argument on this topic that I've ever heard).

I will give you this. The anti-gay rights movement certainly has some creative ways of saying "gays are icky, eeewww" without actually having to directly say it, but you're preaching to the choir, because the only people buying those arguments are the people who already think "gays are icky, eeeewwww".

If you want to bugger your dog, that is rape.

Again, another Rightwinger who can't tell the difference between consenting adults having sex and someone raping an animal.

I hope you don't have pets.

No, my arguments are still winning. Thats why DOMA is still the law of the land an no state marriage laws have been impacted by any federal decision on the issue.

Silly to reward behavior with tax breaks and governmental entitlements because it causes no harm to society. The idea is to encourage behavior that is beneficial to society. Encouraging fathers and mothers to join together to provide and care for their children, BECAUSE the alternative of one or none of them doing so frequently leads to the need for government assistance to provide and care for that child.

There are states with no laws against beastiality and rape laws that only apply to humans.
