I also think that poster is incapable of relating - on any level - with people of either gender or any persuasion.

btw, what is a het?
Not intended to be a prejudiced term just a shortened version of Heterosexuals.

No worries from me, lol. I know that a label is really only best used to describe the literal ingredients of a product for sale, or maybe a good warning on poisons, lol. Either way, almost all other labels are nothing more than a mask of prejudice, ignorance, and fear.

I fully understand and appreciate this fact. For another fact most, 99%, of the people in my life are hets, and another fact to be very clear, my use of the term het/hets is nothing more than an abreviation of the word, as I stated in the post earlier.

Please do not look here at an offense where none exists. Peace

I really wasn't looking to be offended. But my remark had more to do with the way you used the term in post # 240. That it could be offensive to some, though not to me personally. Having participated in many forums on this topic, I do know how easy it is to get into the habit of using and abbreviating terms without stopping to consider those who might find such use and abbreviation offensive. That is why, several years ago, I made it a point to use such terms as 'anti-gay' and 'pro-gay' instead of heterosexual and homosexual when I must delineate between the two. Because not all heteros are against gay rights, just as I've found that not all gays are for them. That last is strange, but in my 11 years on the internet, I have come across a few, especially in the area of same sex marriage.

How anyone's adult personal relationship which holds no harm to either party is anyone else’s business especially the governments is beyond me. Frankly if all the hets would prefer to not hear from the LGBT community, how about allowing the rights which are due and we will go about our lives with much less effort in engaging hets in in anything. Hets come across like co-dependent bad relationships, they will not let the topics regarding gay rights go all while holding their hands up saying "just go!", lmao, it is the hets that keep all of this turmoil going. They are their own worst enemy on this topic. I again look forward to the day that this topic is nothing more than a nostalgic piece of bad history.

That's kinda the point, religion should have nothing to do with our government.

It is your opinion that gay marriage is wrong based on your religion. However I do not need either one as a measurement for my life.

Hey gghhgg, first I doubt you think, second I need no respect from you or anyone like you, third NO ONE needs to feel sorry for me, my life rocks, and lastly I will GIVE YOU NOTHING, your opinion on gay marriage means diddly to me.

I will repeat, and read slowly so it does not hurt. You are the epitome (look it up) of why this world has so much hate filled ignorance. Your need for proof of something that has no bearing on your life is very sad, hopefully you will find a simple puzzle to bide your time. Stay under 20 pieces though, for your own safety. Oh, and try not to eat them either.
