I know that many gay couples are adopting and God help the children and the bullying they will sustain at school, it just doesn't bear thinking about. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it. I am not getting flustered at all. Self opinionated people like you and you definately have a high opinion of yourself are plentiful. You don't live in England, have little understanding of what is happening here yet feel you have a right to voice your opinion on the fact that you have a 'couple' of nice friends who happen to be Muslim. Big deal. I am out of here
I don't care if you agree with a basic right that i'm given. if you get too than I get too.

you don't get to be better than others and make others second class citizens. it's not constitutional.

and in what way do I make a 'mockery' of marriage? could you be more insulting and demeaning? bigotted much?

actually it's illegal to make threats against groups of people, so it's not a conundrum for anybody who has common sense or isn't evil

I am not homeophobic but neither do I understand two men committing buggery on each other, I haven't the faintest idea what two women do together and don't really want to know.

my parents got married in a courtroom before a judge. also my church performs ss weddings anyway, so i could get married there if i want too. what makes you think being gay means you're not spiritual and/or religious?

it's an unchosen trait, what does that have to do with anything else?

I don't actually give a damn if you respect me or not. Who are you that I should desire your respect? You have a high opinion of yourself

why would our reasons be any different than yours?

my parents got married before they had any children.. so what was THEIR reason?

It's not a conundrum for any true liberal.

A true liberal accepts only liberal ideas and cultures, and rejects all manifestations of oppressive, anti-freedom ideals.

Anyone who subscribes to cultural relativism on issues of oppression and inequality are not true liberals. They are fools more interested in multicultural wishy washy feelings bullsh** than calling oppression and fighting for equality.

Its "illegality" has nothing to do with the moral conundrum. The Left pushes multiculturalism, and now they've got it.

Kind of funny.

firstly,

not EVERYBODY on the left OR the right believes the same thing, we're all individuals.

secondly, the left pushes for multiculturalsim in the respect for different traiditions, customs etc... TO A POINT. when it violates the safety and freedom of someone else then it stops there.

Given our strong protections of free speech, I'm presuming this type of leaflet would be legal to distribute in the U.S. - correct? As long as the leaflet isn't making a direct threat to harm someone, I think it should be legal.

BBC News - Derby men jailed for giving out gay death call leaflets
IMO Muslims are a moon god cult, not a religion.

They torture women, children, people not of their faith and want to have honor killings and to kill gays. what's not religion about that? Well pretty much all of it is not religion, it is just disturbed.

The Koran certainly does that. They are instructed to not only despise us but to kill us. Not just homosexuals, anyone who isn't a Muslim.

Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2:98

On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191

Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme.
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - 2:216

Ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers....

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. - 47:4
