Equal protection under US law for all citizens is not "so-called." You are not a true American if you wish to deny people such protection.

And in case you didn't notice, no one has ever proved that you can "cure" gayness. Everyone who's tried has given up and in most cases apologized for being frauds and/or tormenting gays with their "cures."

In any case, why would you deny equal protection under the law to anyone suffering from a mental illness or physical disease? What's wrong with you?

Reading minds again, I see. Tell me, is it a palantir you use? Tea leaves? How do you know that the gay/lesbian community wants something other that what they say they want? And BTW, your ugly, vicious battle to deny them their rights, and call them immoral, abnormal, and all kinds of other things is pretty much as immoral as you can get.

How does it feel to be immoral? You'll probably burn in Hell.

Are you smoking crack? There is absolutely no reason to believe that marriages and civil unions can't be treated exactly the same under the law. A change of a word doesn't mean anything from a legal point-of-view. The word change is merely for social reasons. Most other countries which allow same-sex partnerships, are Civil Unions, not marriages.


Civil union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


As I said, if this was just about rights, Civil Unions work perfectly well. The desire for marriage is for social reasons, not legal reasons. Gays in Civil Unions feel like their union isn't regarded by others as being equal to a marriage, because it isn't called a marriage. Regardless of the fact that the government treats them both exactly the same.


But regardless, I don't think the government should even be in the marriage business. The government should only be in the business of enforcing contracts. Thus, all marriages should be Civil Unions, and marriage should be something else.

Look, if it was just about rights, then Civil Unions would be what they are fighting for. But the reality is that, they want marriage. Because Civil Unions aren't good enough for them. It isn't about whether or not Suzy can visit Sally in the hospital. It is about them wanting to feel like homosexual marriages are somehow exactly the same as a heterosexual marriages.
Darn those blacks, the back of the bus just wasn't good enough for them!

Do you even hear yourself posting such blatant discrimination? Do you realize how ugly your character looks to the rest of us right about now?

Also, the same question applies to you that I asked Taratova. Please share how you know what's in the minds of people you don't even know. Crystal ball? Telepathy? Enquiring minds, etc. etc.

How does a ban on SSM ban anyone for posting a billboard with two males kissing?

Don't underestimate people who are pissed off...like I said before this country is a rotting tree that needs pushed over. legalizing this degeneracy will push it closer to falling.Oh and since we aren't allowed to discuss pedophilia here its starting to become "normalized" now...But remember that was never going to happen according to the homosexuals and their allies.

Young straights love to indulge in sex, too. Everyone needs the right to marry in order to settle down from a wild sex life, including homosexuals.
