Oh I see. You can't answer logically so instead you deflect. What a shocker. It doesn't affect you, at all. You're simply complaining just to complain. What a bore.

And now you're writing empty posts in an attempt to bait me into saying something you can report. Since you have contributed nothing, I'll just block you.

Why? Because you say so?

From the decision in Loving v. Virginia:

These statutes also deprive the Lovings of liberty without due process of law in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.

Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man,"

Yes, I do hope they are straight because life will be easier for them. Happy?
Yes, you're contradicting yourself.

And why will life be easier for them being straight?

I don't think I am contradicting myself.

I support gay marriage, 100%. But I definitely wish my nephews to be straight, instead of gay because let's not play dumb here, life would be easier for them if they are straight.

Will I love them still if they are gay? Absolutely.

Straight people do not have to fight for a basic civil right.

Nothing wrong if a person supports traditional marriage. Its a problem if they create laws and push their agenda on others.

First, rights are not determined by court decisions. If they were, then court decisions could remove rights. I presume you don't want that.


Secondly, I notice that nobody likes to cite the Supreme Court decision affirming slavery. If they're always right, then they're always right.


Thirdly, nothing that man has to invent, such as marriage, can be a right, by definition. It's a societal construct and therefore it is wholly under the control of society in any arbitrary way it wishes.

Sadly, they are determined by court decisions. Sorry, you making up crap again.

It would be nice if natural law ruled and gays could go about their business like the rest of us.
