Those laws were wrong, and you probably thought it was good to protest them. Likewise, the laws regarding gay marriage are wrong, and it is good for us to protest them.
Protest till the cows come home....It will do no good, because it will never go back to what it was. I think it's time for you fundies to stop sniveling and whining and accept a good and moral decision.

Those laws, like the Jim Crow laws, were written by people who share YOUR beliefs. They were written by Bible-believers who tried to legislate the sex lives of gay Americans. They were ruled illegal and unconstitutional.
They were protested by people who know the citizens of this country are protected by the Constitution. We have rights under the law and no U.S. citizen is subject to the religious beliefs of some of the population. Constitution>Beliefs of far-right Christians. Which is why same-sex marriage is legal.
No it hasn't. This country had laws that put homosexuals in jail. Laws enacted by people with YOUR religious beliefs.
Nonsense. My religious beliefs do not call for jailing homosexuals. But hey, as commonly is done, you'll paint us all with a broad brush and tell us we're all just a bunch of judgmental bigots....because actual, rational discussion is more difficult.
If you were told over and over and over that the only right way for you to live, is to either marry a man and "learn to love him" or be celibate and spend the rest of your life isolated from romantic love and relationships, how would you feel?
I would be celibate if the alternative was to sin against God daily. As a single man I did not have sex.

Good for you....Is your middle name Leviticus? You fundies have some major hangups regarding sex.....What is wrong with premarital sex in today's world?

Fundamentalists believe that God set a standard in the earth and humanity has to obey it or go to hell when they die. This means no sexual activity outside of the marriage between one man and one woman. It may seem unfair for LGBT people to be required to spend their entire life alone or marry somebody they don't love, but to fundies, that is the standard of God and its what they are required to do if they want to see heaven.
Great thing is, they have the right to believe this and practice it in their own lives. They don't have the right to impose it on those who don't agree with it.

God gave sex to be enjoyed within marriage. He defined marriage as a man and a woman.
And many of us do not follow your religion nor your god, so we honestly don't care what he or you think about it.
OK? I wasn't suggesting you had to, was I?
