Had they not been such braggarts before the election, then maybe they could have won this. I was thrilled beyond belief on election night, perhaps it can teach them a lesson in humility.
I think it's rather despicable that it made you happy to see millions of people unhappy, and with fewer rights.
It's not completely different. It's not exactly the same, but there are similarities. There's no question that both groups have faced discrimination throughout history.
Yeah and Mormons faced persecution for their polygamist views too
The key word is "yet", There are already polygamist groups in this country and they too may fight for their perceived rights.
If you would have asked someone on the street 20-30 years ago what they thought of gay marriage, they would have given you a strange look like you were out of your mind. Now look at us fighting to preserve an institution that we hold dear.
So let the polygamists fight for what they think is right. It's a separate argument.
When people argued for the legalization of interracial marriage, the SAME ARGUMENT WERE MADE! Oh, it's going to lead to polygamy; oh, it's going to lead to beastiality, etc. Hogwash.
And yes, 30 years ago, things were different. The times change. A couple hundred years ago, if you had suggested that blacks should be equal to whites, people on the street would have given you a strange look, indeed.
It is possible for a straight person to turn gay under various circumstances, usually when adults become set in their ways they can't change, but not necessarily. I have heard of many lesbians who were formerly straight, but now lesbian.
It happens, and just because you deny it, doesn't make it so.
I disagree with your premise that a gay person should want to change his sexual orientation. The biggest argument you've made in favor of it is that you would be more comfortable if gays converted to heterosexuality. That's not good enough for me, and you're ignoring the vast majority of science that says sexual orientation cannot be changed.
I disagree with your premise that a gay person should want to change his sexual orientation.
He should want to change his sexuality if he wants to get married, otherwise why should the US change its customs which date back to the beginning of time for a group of people that can't even respect the citizens right to vote?
Remind us again, please. How have gays treated you and your friends badly?
Right now I won't go into that, I am saving that for a special occasion,besides I am tired and need to get some rest.
