Yes the gay/lesbian argument is a personal one for me. I have an lesbian aunt and one of my brothers is gay. To know that it's bigoted asshole's like you that would deny them the happiness of experiencing marriage (or unhappiness of experiencing marriage, but they're only human just like you and should have the right to win or lose in the marriage business just like you) pisses me off. What's your fucking problem? Why should they be punished for something that is not personal choice and something they can't change? Should you be punished for being a man or a woman or a certain race? How is you hating gay people different from the Nazis hating jews or the KKK hating black people?

What about the gay and lesbian Nazi's and KKK folks? Oh, and gay Cavemen too.

The greatest show of hatred and intollerance on almost all issues seems to be coming from the left.

From the more or less right leaning folks, I don't think it's a matter of hatred of gays/lesbians as human beings as it is a question of moral values.

I like lesbians.

its intolerance of other lifestyles, and trying to keep them down. god knows how many rightwingers ive heard say that gays are not a problem to them, as long as they do it at home and they dont have to see it. well, seeing it is part of the deal. and so is giving them their equal right , finally, to marry who they want.

Marriage is a religious thing, and therefore, the government has no buisness in it, gay, straight, or whatever. I think that any two adults should be able to get enter a contractual agreement similar to an LLC or a Partnership or something. Marriage however, should be handled ONLY in a Church, and if that peticular Church thinks its a sin, then they shouldnt be forced to grant it. Seperation of Church and State works both ways, you know.

Simply put, I dont think gays should marry, but I dont think it will affect MY marriage like so many talking heads on Fox News seems think. Bob and Joe are going to have sex regardless of whether or not they are married, so not allowing a civil union or partnership isnt going to protect any "morals".

This is what makes me a Libertarian and not a Republican. Fucking conservitives are ignorant. Same people who dont want to kill babies wont allow proper safe sex edu***ion, thus resulting is unwanted pregnancies and *gasp* abortions. What the fuck did you think would happen? Youve got two choices, birth control or abortions. Pick the lesser of two evils or fucking choke on a butt plug.

Homosexuality is a mental illness. It is in their best interest to get out of self-destructive behavior.

That's a lie. Behavior is changeable.

First off, the premise is incorrect. Most of us love gays. But loving gays means not to encourage or promote self-destructive behavior. Love means to give a drowning man a life-preserver, not an anchor. Advo***es for so-called homosexual rights are throwing anchors for their own personal agendas.

Second, we are not advo***ing killing gay people. Gay people have done plenty of that to themselves by their sexual activities (and other self-destructive activities that heterosexuals do, such as drug and alcohol abuse).

Those of us who have fought for racial equality and justice are disgusted by the blatant misuse of terms like "equality" and "discrimination" in regards to BEHAVIOR. You make one behavior a "civil right," you make all behaviors civil rights. You make marriage a right for one group (homosexuals) under the threats of "discrimination," then you cannot deny others who have been denied certain types of marriage (incest, polygamy, bestiality, necrophilia).

I pretty much agree with everything DT had to say. /shrug /nazi /kkk
