Respect is never earned by constantly throwing sexual preference or sexual acts (San Fran Gay Pride Parades) in the face of others, by calling the defense of heterosexual marriage "bigoted", or assuming that those who do not agree with the normalization homosexuality in elementary school classrooms feel "threatened".

Homosexuality is not the "norm" for most of the world's population. Homosexuals in the USA do live in peace the same as everyone else. They may marry a person of the opposite gender, the same as everyone else. There is no discrimination. What you want is preferencial treatment and that is not in and of itself worthy of "respect".

^^^^ Rep this Gays just want to be another protected victim class by equating themselves to the fire-hosed blacks that got bloodied up with nightsticks by cops for no reason other than being black, and hung because a white woman said a black guy raped her even though he didn't. Yep, they are equal in their struggle alright!

Your posts are not worth responding to; they are full of hateful ignorance and innuendo, as well as being "intellectually challenged". .

Duh.. But sooo many don't get it. It's a shame so many think the govt. should be into your marriage, education, health, personal choices, money, religion, philosophy, relationships, intellectual property,

hell.. your car, your house, anybody get this yet? Still seeing red and blue?

Wouldn't it be nice if the govt. just protected us on national, state, and local levels and got the hell out of all our other business like they're supposed to? Just think of all the money we would have and its buying power.

If the feds did that, we would reverse the budget deficit overnight I like it! The federal government has NO business, whatsoever, functioning outside it's narrowly defined responsibilities in the Constitution.

Such shortsighted stupidity.

So soap operies, movies, music videos, commercials, barbie dolls, marriage cermonies, engagement notices... etc. are NOT examples of "theoring sexual preference or sexual acts" in the face of others?

You are threatened, and since nobody is trying to stop "heterosexual marriage," you have to be a complete idiot to believe that you are "defending heterosexual marriage".... from what? People who want to abolish it? Keep straight people from marrying? Where do you people come up with this stuff anyway?!

Way to bring it back to the 50s, Beulah! You realize that the argument for keeping miscegenation laws in place was "There is no discrimination. Blacks can marry blacks, whites can marry whites.".....

Preferential treatment? How so? If there is gay marriage, nobody will stop you from being able to enter into a gay marriage if you want.

Again, I REALLY hope you people don't buy into the pile crap you try to pass off as coherent arguments on this issue!
