Acceptance and tolerance are two different things, learn the difference. Regardless, protecting the rights of minorities is what makes a country free. Democracy doesn't mean a thing if you can just vote to toss all the jews in an oven.

The maybe we should protect the pedophile minority as well?

Democracy does not mean that the minority can overrule the majority.

I'm sorry, you'll have to explain this, since it doesn't make any sense. What do pedophiles have to do with homosexuals marrying each other?

Not worrying about it "at all" makes you normal...

I guess technically yes since you don't believe they deserve the same rights and benefits as straight couples.

But I don't care what word you want to call it. If I don't support gay marriage I belong in the homophobe / bigot category... " *yawn*

and I don't even have an opinion on gay marriage. I don't care if they're able to get married or not.

Default Not supporting gay marriage makes you a homophobe: agree or disagree

Disagree, it means you have your own opinion in which you are free to have.

No such thing as a homo-phobe...I really don't know who came up with that term...Homo-resentment....or Homo-disrespect....The phobia bit....is a bit over the top...as if there is a fear or homo-phobia is a mental illness- Just a couple of decades ago..homosexuality was classed as a mental illness...and now those that don't like homosexuality are considered mentally ill....Back on topic for a minute- I have come to the realization that marriage is a write off- the gays can have it...cos' if they have it...I don't want it...Actually....Marriage has become a state sponsored curse..Good luck with it...as a hetero - I kind of feel like I am handing over my left overs.....back to the question....No...anti-gay marriage people are not homo-phobes...they are protectors of tradition.



They are the protectors of GENDER identity....no one is going to try to tell me that gender does not exist anymore- that is what irks me is this agenda to destroy gender.

dictionary definition is the "fear and hatred" of homosexuals.

I don't think its over the top.

Those who oppose same sex marriage, are bigots who do not believe in equality. That simple.

They are both minorities, both at some point persecuted while pedophilia was accepted in Ancient Greece, by the majority. If you feel we should protect all minorities than why not pedophils?

Funny thing there same was attempted in Soviet Union which tried to force a picture of women operating a tractor as a new Socialist ideal of femininity.
