It's pretty amusing because that's a demonstration of the depth of liberal thought. Ah, so the Supreme Court ruled marriage is a right ...could you explain how a man-made tradition is a right? "Uh, no, but I can repeat that the Supreme Court said it was." Oh, so the same Supreme Court that ruled for slavery? "Yeah, but they were wrong then." Oh, so they're right some times and wrong others, but they're right this time? "Yes." Based on what? "HEY STOP TALKING."

Believing that gay and lesbian people should not have the same rights or equal protections under the law as straight people, is analogous to someone believing that black people should not have the same rights or equal protections under the law as white people.

Moderator cut: snip

When did it become "Okay" to bash Christians? But Muslims can say and do whatever they want, as we have learned in the last week or so, with CAIR's actions against Brandeis, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali?

There is a parallel here. Brandeis and their treatment of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Mozilla and their treatment of Chairman Eich. In both cases, they bowed to pressure from outside minority forces. In both cases the public at large is more supportive of free speech and freedom of thought.

This is political correctness run amuck.

You're comparing racism to this issue again. Sorry. Deesn't fly, unless homosexuals are a "race" now.

Probably not much because his argument is as good as yours (and, in fact, is grounded in the same principles, i.e., that since society doesn't like your activity then by definition society is wrong).
You are exactly right.

Pedophiles harm people.

Homosexuality doesn't harm people.
Oh, really?
