Is this okie 1962 ignoring the admonishment of Harrier to not put words into Harrier's mouth, as well as Okie1962 making a bunch of ASSumptions?
Furthermore, where is the OP? Why isn't he/she complaining about your off-topic posts?
The OP sure thought that Harrier was off topic by requesting that those who erroneously believed that homosexuality is an inborn trait prove such an assertion
Now the OP is quiet.
Harrier can detect liberal hypocrisy a mile away.
You're on here way too much, how could you have a girl friend. I bet her name is "George Glass" or "George Tropicana"
I foresee the day that criticisng homosexual behavior will be regarded as a hate crime with criminal prosecution, loss of voting rights and right to gun ownership. I can even envision a time (prophesied in the Bible) when Christians will be hunted down as criminals and executed. Satan rules on planet Earth.
Naah. Nothing so dramatic.
It's will just looked be on as ignorant prejudice and bigotry - just like KKKers.
Those are all states in which the will of the people was substituted for the dictum of unelected judges.
I don't think a singe court anywhere in the US would rule otherwise on those two issues. That gay couples are denied the rights of marriage by laws that are specifically written to deny gay couples the rights of marriage and that by denying those rights gay couples are harmed is as obvious as the fact that the sun rises every morning. It's beyond idiotic to claim otherwise.
(and I do believe that SC Justices in New Mexico are elected)
That's true, at least in the DOMA case. In the Prop 8 case, it was ruled unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court let the lower court's decision stand. As far as precedent is concerned, it was ruled unconstitutional and adds to the body of law that will eventually be reviewed by the Supreme Court. But you're right, standing issues prevented them from ruling on that case. (Or they punted, as was often said at the time. I find both equally likely.)
You just contradicted yourself.
The SCOTUS did not rule Prop 8 unconstitutional. It merely ruled that the appellants had no standing and thus had to allow the lower court ruling(given by an openly gay judge) remain in effect.
Hollingsworth v, Perry was decided on procedural grounds, not constitutional grounds.
The SCOTUS did not rule Prop 8 unconstitutional. It merely ruled that the appellants had no standing and this had to allow the lower court ruling(given by an openly gay judge) remain in effect.
Put on your reading glasses. There was no contradiction. He never said the SC ruled Prop 8 unconsitutional - he said it was ruled unconstitutional by the lower court and that that lower court ruling still stands and is good law.

Those laws generally contain no language in reference to gay people.
California's constitutional amendment contained no language in reference to gay people.

Your claim is patently false.
No, it's 100% true. Stop acting like a petulant child.
