Homosexuals became a race when they decided they were losing the morality argument and made the decision to change their movement to one of civil rights. It happened in an actual meeting of organized gay groups I watched on C-SPAN in the early 90s.

homosexuals are soo gay!

[Steely Tom]

They’re a backward race.

Heh heh.

Excellent read. Rational thought. I will show this to those who “feel” (liberals) instead of “think”.

[nufsed]

Everything is a race nowadays. People just yell racism for nationality, ethnicity etc.

I know this is troubling your mind, so allow me a brief explanation for some of the shouting.

Religion is a choice, you are free from discrimination based upon that choice. Do you see where this kind of thinking might lead other people to believe they have equal rights and cannot be discriminated upon based upon a legal choice they made?

Freedom and liberty are a slippery slope for those who cannot recognize it for people who make what they think are bad or immoral choices.

I recognize the rights of some religions which I think are misguided or weird. What choice is there? Maybe we should vote that they don't have certain rights because they are weird. I think we could get a majority.

Outstanding writing. You have hit on a point that was forgotten from all the screaming of the 60's: discrimination was decried as wrong when it was the result of something the individual was born with. But for things that are choices, discrimination is certainly allowed. A society has a right to enact laws against millions of choices: the choice to be a professional thief, for instance. And the choice to engage in sexual conduct that is inimical to the society itself, if it so deems.

The violent homosexuals have no right to any behavior they deem fit. They were not born that way, no matter what they say. Even if they were, it would not have the weight of force against the society to equate it with whatever the society deems the norm.

The assertion of "equal protection" arguments are utterly specious, nothing more than strained legal theories which push the boundaries of the ambiguities in the English language.

We are not compelled as a society to recognize their deviance.

When did homosexuals become a race

Of course it is a behavior. By the same token, Islam is a religion and, as such, accessible to anyone. Criticism of either should be protected speech but no longer is by all measures.

I think blacks voted in great numbers for Prop 8 because they are insulted at any suggestion homosexuals are equal to blacks in terms of civil rights. Black people have suffered in the past and it was on account of something they could not control, their skin color. Homosexuality is an activity that many people find offensive and to equate it with race is absurd.

First Biblical name of the race was Sodomites

[dan1123]

It started when we started attributing behavior to genetics.

The PEOPLE voted and they voted for prop 8. So now they didn't get what they wanted and they are protesting? We voted in the presidential election and didn't get what we wanted. I guess we need to protest as well. Storm the capital, I say!
why even vote!!

When did homosexuals become a race?

Better yet, wouldn't evolution mean that none would exist by now? The homosexual ought to look at himself and think, I shouldn't exist, there must be a God and cry out for mercy.

It is totally illogical to say anyone is being denied a right. The right to marry is not being stopped. Anyone can marry anyone. The state has no obligation to recognize anyone’s marriage. So therefore it is a privilege to to have your marriage recognized. With those privileges comes responsibilities for which two people are bounded by. Next the recognition is not discriminatory. Everyone has the ability to be recognized by the state so as long as you follow the guidelines which is one person to be married with someone of the opposite sex. The state has an intent to recognize marriage for the purpose of regulating procreation. Procreation is the basis for the establishment of family. With marriage regulated it is in the best interest of society that families are binded. For children are dependent on adults and a united family we can develop a more cohesive society. Finally every person, their marriage will be recognized so as to marry one person of the opposite sex. Also, every person, their marriage will not be recognized if their marriage is someone of the same sex. For example someone who professes to be homosexual can have their marriage recognized as long as that person is of the opposite sex. They may choose not to get married to a person of the opposite sex but the right was afforded to them. Similarly, if someone who professes to be a heterosexual, they can not have their marriage recognized if that person is of the same sex. Thus the same recognition of marriage are granted to the same people regardless of sexuality. Equal protection under the law is afforded to both.
