It's intellectually lazy, as well as inaccurate, to say that anything you dislike is like the KKK (or Nazis). You probably won't get what that means, so I'll ask you: if next a pedophile group says "your non-acceptance of my pedophilia is like a burning cross in a front yard," what will you say? Probably not much because his argument is as good as yours (and, in fact, is grounded in the same principles, i.e., that since society doesn't like your activity then by definition society is wrong).

Exactly. That's why I provided clarification for you.

Yes it is. Is someone doing that on this thread? I certainly didn't.

Oh I 'got what it means'. You think same-sex marriage is comparable to pedophilia. That's not even intellectually lazy, it's completely intellectually bereft.

I noticed you didn't seem to comprehend what you wrote yourself (ie that you think same-sex marriage is comparable to pedophilia), so I helped clarify it for you.
