As far as getting punished, the NFL can do whatever it likes to its employees in regards to discrimination.

After all, we wouldnt want big government intervening, would we?

The bigots against Christianity revealed themselves quite awhile ago. When Tim Tebow showed his faith publically in the NFL, he was ridiculed relentless by the left and the media. And pretty much drummed out of the NFL. The double standard is sickening.

But they are both relationships, and producing a child is not a prerequisite for being in a relationship. Therefore the definition of relationship is the same regardless if it is a heterosexual or homosexual couple.

I made that comment about Tebow a few times on this thread as well and it got ignored by the left.
Obviously mocking religious beliefs is ok in their books.

I have no problem with it. But I don't have a problem if someone thought it was gross.

The question isn't, is homosexuality natural. The question is why and how has homosexuality been selected for an maintained within so many species (including humans).
Do we do everything that animals do? How do we know when someone is right or wrong to do? Just like I mentioned earlier, would you roll in your own poop like a dog?

Doing so is the epitome of disrespect (not to mention antithetical to the Constitutional promise of equal protection under the laws enshrined in the 14th Amendment).
How do they do the exact same thing? That is 100% untrue. Something can be similar but not the same. Homosexual relationship are similar to heterosexual relationships, but not the same. Why should it be treated as such? You can respect people wanting to be in relationship with one another without saying that it should be the same. Is marrying a child the same as marrying an adult of the opposite sex? There are distinguishable differences that have to be defined. It doesn't mean that you can't have a relationship (no matter how much we agree or disagree), it just means that it should not be considered the same.

The poster's point was well they are all relationships so why does it matter. The point is there are differences just like there are with any other type of relationships and people on here will not recognize the difference because it doesn't fit their argument.
The difference between married couples and unmarried couples are legal privileges issued by the state. We have many states(33 if I recall) trying to keep gay couples from receiving these privileges. That is the source of outrage. Do you get it now???! Marriage equality.

Why don't they understand this?

"It isn't bigotry to think they are disgusting"

It may not be a prerequisite. But the fact remains that heterosexual couples can create life, while gay couples cannot. And that is the diffence between them and why they are seen as different.

Tim Tebow was not prohibited from earning a living in the NFL. Mocking and discrimination are two different things.

I mock ultra-religious people all the time but I wouldn't dare discriminate against them or anyone in a business environment.

Irrelevant.......as in irrelevant to the discussion. You are not reading any of the posts thoroughly because you are taking points out of context.

It has nothing to do with a man kissing his partner. Remember? Do you not remember what I said when you asked me this same question earlier?
