It's either "bigot" or "idiot."

Choose one.

Lady, the crap you spout on this board is not natural. YOU are "not normal" and in fact, given a nationwide platform to espouse your whack job beliefs, I would venture the vast majority of the nation would find you out of line with mainstream beliefs and beyond in your rhetoric what "normal" people believe.

Blah blah blah. You and 10000 other sects believe you hold the truth. 9999 of you are wrong.

I knew you would say this. Denial helps to cloak the cognitive dissonance I'm sure you're feeling, but it doesn't change facts.

The argument will have to be won against the religious perspective and then ruled on. I'm not saying that won't happen as it already has in 17 states, thus far. I'm just saying, even in Utah, that is the perspective that has been upheld. The law doesn't specify, it has been implied without spelling it out. That is being challenged, as it's still the argument for many.
And yet, you still haven't quoted ONE state law that requires reproduction, or the ability to reproduce to get married.

Come on, it should be easy to prove your point. The laws are all out there to search.

How about this one from the supreme court.
Turner v safley.

Quote:
Turner v.
Safley, 482 U.S. 78, 95-96 (1987). While the Supreme Court noted that some inmates might one
day be able to consummate their marriages when they were released, the Court found that
marriage was important irrespective of its relationship to procreation because it was an
expression of emotional support and public commitment, it was spiritually significant, and it
provided access to important legal and government benefits
Quote:
The State argues that the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage is justified based
on an interest in promoting responsible procreation within marriage. According to the State,
“[t]raditional marriage with its accompanying governmental benefits provides an incentive for
opposite-sex couples to commit together to form [] a stable family in which their planned, and
especially unplanned, biological children may be raised.”
<snip>
As a result, any relationship between Amendment 3 and the State’s interest in responsible
procreation “is so attenuated as to render the distinction arbitrary or irrational.” City of Cleburne,
473 U.S. at 446; see also Perry v. Schwarzenegger, 704 F. Supp. 2d 921, 972 (N.D. Cal. 2010)
(“Permitting same-sex couples to marry will not affect the number of opposite-sex couples who
marry, divorce, cohabit, have children outside of marriage or otherwise affect the stability of
opposite-sex marriage.”). Accordingly, the court finds no rational connection between
Amendment 3 and the state’s interest in encouraging its citizens to engage in responsible

Notice how the judge directly quotes supreme court decisions?

They mention the so called Family Research Institute by the way. Only idiots can't separate propaganda with facts.

Oh the APA, the same group who included homosexuality in the DSM not too long ago?

BTW, they are filled with liberal hacks and secular progressives now more than ever. It's no wonder you go to them to validate your faulty beliefs, they justify everything now.

The FRC is about truth, not hate. Here's some more truth from their pamphlet entitled "Homosexual Behavior and Pedophilia":

"One of the primary goals of the homosexual rights movement is to abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually recognize pedophiles as the 'prophets' of a new sexual order."

What a worthless post.

First of all, there is no "gay lifestyle." And if there was, nothing about it would correlate or lead to pedophilia, which is not an adult orientation.



The fact is that for both molesters of boys, there is actually usually no corresponding desire for MEN with developed secondary sex characteristics. Likewise with the majority of molesters of girls having no correlating desire for women.

Yes. That APA. Who moved past lobotomies and shock treatment (things that were ALSO prevalent when homosexuality was in the DSM) because the science did not support it. That's what happens when people are wrong about things in academia. They move on.


The study of psychology has evolved. Even if you and religious folks have not.

Is it a burden to view the world in which "liberals" hide under beds and behind trees, ready to spook you and destroy civilization?

There MUST be something in the DSM about this kind of shallow, myopic conservative worldview.
