No one is forcing you to live where you do. I don't travel in foreign lands and complain over "mistreatment". Could someone please explain the logic in forcing natives to change according to ones own selfish reasons?

It's really simple.

It's because some of us are decent, fair people who think it important that people of all ethnicities, religions, genders, and sexual orientation are treated with dignity and basic rights that should be afforded to all people.

What is with some people's obsession to hate, discriminate against, and repress those who are different from them? We call them conservatives around here.

Your post makes no sense. You make it sound as if people are invading from Mars and insisting people adapt. Assuming you're American, so are many gay people. My daughter isn't traveling in a foreign land, she's 100% American. She's not insisting you change, but she's also not going to change for you.

Being gay is a choice.

The rest of America does not have to accept an immoral chosen lifestyle.

She has no "lifestyle". Hasn't even dated. You're a fool if you believe that.

Then why not purchase an Island and establish these "ideals" there? Why attempt to change the beliefs of native people. Your description makes it sound like slavery is still alive today: people invading foreign lands, capturing those natives and bringing them back to be forced to live as 2nd class citizens.

Every region should look out for it's own, which is occurring everywhere but Europe/North America & Australia. Maybe someone can comment on what makes many Whites weak in the face of self-confidence and their own success.

One could argue that marrying someone from a different race is a choice. Southerners shouldn't have had to change to accept such an immoral life style. After all, god did put the different races on separate continents to keep them apart.

So...you're saying people should buy an island where folks are treated with dignity, fairness and respect? Where everyone has basic rights?
Is that because you wont stand for any of that crap in America?
Yeehaw!

It is, and Loving v. Virginia was decided correctly.

What does inter-racial have to do with the topic under discussion?
