For all of your silly hysterics about the sacredness of "man and woman = life," there still wouldn't any life if we didn't give up our biological substances to make that life into a person.

And guess what? Lesbians can carry children, and gay men can donate sperm.

Which makes lesbians and straight women the ONLY ones actually involved in "life." And if a lesbian wants to carry the baby of a sperm donor, or a straight woman wants to carry the baby of a gay man, there ain't nothin' Mother Nature can do about it.

Oh, oops. Guess that blows a hole in your precious bigotry excuse -- er, theory.


None of us would be here without male sperm.

My example is simply another reflection of social acceptance. The NFL would fine a guy -- or more -- for using the N word, or a lot of other things.

You can believe it's a sin if you want, but that's not the issue here. The issue is your freedom to say ugly things about it without any social consequences whatsoever. And guess what? You lose.

That's true. I'm glad that those children are adopted by gay couples. I have no problem with that at all.

Yeah? What do you propose to do with it if there are no women to carry babies? Teach it to play the piano?

And what happens to the player who DARE says out loud that he doesnt feel comfortable dressing and showering with a man who is attracted to men? Does he get bashed, fined, and punished too? This whole damn thing is insane. This isnt even about homosexuality. Its about the damn agenda and the bullying of those that push it. They want to threaten and punish people into silence
What Donald Sterling said was arguably not racist either. He simply told his girlfriend not to bring black people to the games. She was black herself, and he was sleeping with her, he can't be all that racist now, can he? His comments were private, this guy was baited, and ambushed. BTW, men have been showering and dressing in locker rooms for decades and no ones ever had a problem.

That's easy enough to get. Most men aren't too judicious about where their sperm goes.

Or a heterosexual couple could adopt the same children and the child benefits from having both a male and female parents. If we as a society truly believed that there is no difference in the gender roles in regards to parenting, why do we celebrate mothers day and fathers day as completely separate? Should we change tradition again for the 5%, and just have "parents day"?

Many slaveowners slept with black women while at the same time holding the view that black people were sub-human. I guess the sex meant they weren't racists either.

Yeh, but both are immutable qualities that define us, that are a part of us, that cannot be changed. People justify bigotry against either, for similar reasons. The problem is, gays are often invisible, and have been forced to stay invisible in order to survive, but that's not going to work any more. See the point?

I doubt in the " real world" anything would happen.
So what? I 100% guaranty that every NFL player signed a code of conduct agreement which included bans to offensive speech in public which might reflect badly upon the league or offend potential customers. He signed the agreement as a condition to employment, he agreed not to do this, he also no doubt signed an agreement to abide by any fines or penalties the league hands down in the event he brakes the agreement so... It's all cut and dried in signed legally enforceable contracts. He didn't hold up his side of the contract, period.

He can now either abide by the penalties previously agreed upon in writing or he can find himself a new line of work. End of story.
