Do you equate sex with rape too, or are you only willfully blind to the huge difference in consent when it comes to homosexuality vs. pedophilia?

DEAL WITH IT!
Gay is not a race though.

And to the OP, the point, even though it isn't, would be moot, not "mute".

So are they bragging about the fact that a lot of states have done something that isn't legally valid?
or are they bragging about the fact that apparently MILLIONS of americans haven't taken a basic government class in high school to know that what they're doing isn't constitutional?
Also these people must not know that there are cities and states that would vote down rights for black people and various other minoritis. Is that something to BRAG ABOUT?
that's WHY we live in a constitutional republic. don't these people understand that.
In other words 31 states have done something that isn't valid.
were most of the people voting on this GAY since it had to do with GAY MARRIAGE?
or where they Straight... if they were straight it wouldn't be any of their business to VOTE on since it's not THEIR marriage rights that were at stake
Ok, one last time..who gives a RATS posterior end what goes on behind anyones bedroom doors gay or straight? This whole Gay issue is being beaten right into the ground and like me its getting OLD. Gay folks now a days should be happy they were not raised when I was in the sixties...can't even say on here what folks would say about them so things compared to then are actually pretty good for them. So they want to get married?? Let them do so and see what sort of judgement if any the Lord passes on them..he may just give a big sigh and shake his head, who knows? You can't say that all this Gay stuff is a straight person's concern because there are several ways it does become their concern. I have several gay friends although straight myself and these friends are very special to both my husband and I. If I had to defend their beliefs trust me I would but gotta tell you..this topic on here is pretty well beat up. Why can't we all just get along????

No, but it discrimination based on sex (gender). A man can enter into a marriage contract with a woman, but a woman is not allowed to enter into a marriage contract with a woman. If this were ANY other legally binding contract this kind of discrimination would be outrageous.

Sorry, the anti gay bigots had my hackles raised....I think pedophiles are attracted to children, and they make a choice to either act on it or not....I haven't researched it so I'm not sure what motivates them.

I dont beleive its a choice with them either as I have never beleived being gay is a choice.

Acting on ones desires is a choice. having those desires is not.

You can play perverted games with scripture to tell lies.
