I really didn’t care about this one way or another until the LGBT-a— stick it into my face.

No, there MUST BE laws that keep people from marrying minors and also ones that protect the mentally incompetent.

And unfortunately, LGBT has now evolved into LGBTQIA (to include *****, intersexed, and asexual). lol... It's truly becoming ridiculous.

We'll stop holding hands or kissing in public as soon as heterosexuals do the same. In other words, never.
I don't care who holds hands or kisses, it is the "making out in public" (like grinding) that I find offensive! Doesn't matter who is doing it, "Get a room!"

At some point, if we don't stop the surge of Muslims and their demands for Sharia law, they will be making the decisions.

Gay marriage will not be an issue once sharia law becomes the law of the land.

Everyone wants to be special these days, and also to be able to base their failures not on themselves, but do to discrimination based on one thing or another. This constant screaming of discrimination is becoming white noise.

The poll was ridiculous. "a-la Russia" if we don't believe our children in school should be indoctrinated when it comes to the LGBT (plus all the new minority designations) and the death penalty...........Seriously, a ridiculous poll. The constant "in the face" is a tactic used by any anyone pushing an agenda and is meant to desensitize people to whatever the agenda is trying to accomplish.

The exact same thing that has occurred since gender specific public restrooms and/or locker rooms have existed: The assumption if you are unknown to each other is that if you look like a male or female you are one. If you don't have the right genitalia to be in that facility just make sure no one sees it. Very simple.

I have no doubt I have unknowingly shared public restroom facilities with folks sporting penises for decades, and there have been a few times that I was highly suspicious of what was under that skirt but since no one was insisting making sure I knew what was under the skirt I generally convinced myself I was wrong. Ignorance is bliss.

Dude, nobody is talking about minors. Consenting adults should have the freedom to marry whomever they want and in whatever way they seem fit. It's none of the business of the government.

However, I am fine with setting up a law for minors just like today, minors must obtain permissions from parents to get married. Minors, once over the same age of marriage, should also be allowed to cut their own genitals off as long as the parents permits.

As for adults, who cares? It's not my business as long as they don't make it my business. If I choose not to deal with LGBT, that's my right. They don't have the right to force me in one way or another!

2 things.
I dont have to call you a zhe or other made up nonsense
My daughter doesnt have to shower with a dude who thinks hes a girl. If you are still packing, you are a guy.

Get married I dont care. I dont seek any on your list.
The transitioning until 18 thing makes sense to me, but I would have to research it further.

JAs a social libertarian moderate I couldn't care less about the lgbtq community. Let them live as they wish and even adopt kids assuming they are psychologically stable. I do personally believe a lot of gay men are gay because they were molested as kids, though... We certainly dont want these men to carry on that tradition. I wish the right would stop trying to legislate morality.

Robbery, rape, and killing are immoral acts. Being transgender might be what I would consider a psychological disorder depending on the case at hand, more attention seeking behavior than anything, but its not immoral as it does not hurt anyone else.

No need to roll anyone's rights back, just return the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason to private business.

So far as I can tell, this is the only "right" that has been taken away. Apparently one loses their freedom of association as well as their individual property rights the minute they decide to sell products/services.

Don't need to "take" anything, but we do need to "return" a bunch of stuff.

huh? salvation? I don't think military cares about salvation. You can try your hardest to make it a religion issue, but it is not, at least, not for me.

In all fairness, it is always the heterosexual community makes the gay issue our issue. For example: They shouldn't get married.

Most marriages fail anyway, so I don't know why they can't get married.

I only know one gay man back in college. We both had the same interest: Hot Marines. Well, he never had any lucks with the Marines, but he has been in a committed relationship with his boyfriend for over 8 years. I went from man to man, only recently, I decided to settle down.

If he wants a legal marriage, who am I to say, he shouldn't.

for the Christian baker, well, that one is tricky. Free market should take care of this. I think any business owners should have the total freedom to choose their customers, it has nothing to do with religion. You probably don't want to give government more power.

It looks like the gays only want to have the same rights as everybody else, like, getting married, adoption. That kind of stuff.

As for the transgender people serving in the military, well, as if it has anything to do with religion. LOL Religious people probably will never be in the infantry units.
