Bingo, CodeToad.
Sex and sexual attraction exist for an obvious biological purpose. Men and women have complementary parts for an obvious reason. Those are cold hard facts. Whatever dysfunction causes people to try to imitate intercourse with a person who lacks the correct plumbing, there is no reason why society should embrace it and pretend it is “normal.” It is no more “normal” than if a person had an irresistible urge to eat by stuffing his food in his ear.
Just because they imitate intercourse, does not mean that society should set up an imitation “marriage” so that they can feel better about themselves.
There’s nothing quite like the sound of a liberal horking up the partially-digested remains of his own deeply rooted bigotry, then trying to lick it up before anyone notices...
Experience has shown me that there isn’t much you can do with hopeless liberals. As is clearly evidenced in your exchange, liberals are creatures of unthinking, illogical, raw emotion, intolerance, and hatred.
Conservatives base their viewpoints mostly upon simple facts and logical conclusions derived thereof. A liberal’s emotional condition simply renders them intellectually incapable of responding to or even recognizing logic.
The best you can do is have a little fun getting their blood pressure up and watching the fireworks of their emotional outbursts. You can continue to needle them endlessly about how they won’t and can’t answer your actual questions, which is entertaining for a while, but don’t expect to get them to concede that they might be incorrect about anything, ever.
The personal attacks and insults mean you are winning, and getting banned means you won the argument.
I would suggest that you not make the problems of other people your own. Maintain your own civility. It’s like the advice you get in Al-Anon (for families of alcoholics): first, maintain your own sanity even though a family member is making your life chaotic by drinking. I know this can be difficult when people are screaming in your own face, but you cannot “save” other people. Set a good example. There’s no way of knowing, but they may eventually come around more to your way of thinking.
Just ask: “If you do not respect people who hold a traditional view of marrige, then why should they respect your view of gay marriage? Isn’t a two way street?”
My Facebook news feed is a swamp of this kind of bile right now. All they’re doing is making it clear (if not for their own teaspoons of brain matter) who the real hate-spewers are when it comes to the gay marriage issue.
It’s best for your sanity not to get involved. Just hide the “usual suspects” from your news feed until the smoke from the election clears.
Respect the fact that the person has been on a life walk different from that of your own and they will necessarily have different views, perspectives and opinions unlikely to change anytime soon. Educate yourself about their positions and educate yourself about your own. Once you've gotten through these stages, you should be ready to begin civil discussion with all but the wild eyed fanatics.
Just delete the bad ones from your friends' list.
Also, remind them that Raila Odinga's favorite cousin has narcissistic personality disorder.
Today's White House Press Release stated that Raila Odinga's favorite cousin was too busy last night watching an HBO documentary about himself to give a rat's ear about the VA, NJ and NY elections.
How's that for a damn narcissist's attitude?
If they’re really slimy, I hear Dawn dish detergent works the best.
...and we should never persecute homosexuality as we wouldn’t persecute any other mental disorder but nor should we let them persecute normalcy, such as marriage or not having sex in public bathrooms or not trying to indoctrinate children into their sexual deviancy.
1. Why? Do you know these people? Do you think you have a 1% chance of changing their minds? 25%? 60%? I think not.
2. When people are throwing crude and mocking slanders as their part of the ‘discussion,’ why on earth would you want to participate?
3. Maybe you could refer them to a well-written analysis from a Catholic perspective — something they could THINK about and digest. A bit of light in the darkness.
31 states have voted for gay marriages. Of those 31 states, 31 do not allow them.
The personal attacks and insults mean you are winning, and getting banned means you won the argument.

Better yet, we won the voting last night.
That first paragragh is so typical of the gay movement....
What a rational, considered response for their view. (;-)
Never try to teach a pig to sing.
It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
>>>>>>Sex and sexual attraction exist for an obvious biological purpose.<<<<<<<<
For those who call themselves “reality based”, they sure are good at directing that “critical thinking” only in directions that suit their beliefs.
Where are all these science geniuses when it comes to this sublect. They think about this subject with emotions... they think about global warming with emotions.
It has nothing to do with science for me, although I understand your logic about the REASON humans are attracted to sex. Our job is to reproduce, period. Every aspect of our life is put there to make sure that this is successful before we die.
For me its just plain and simply disgusting.
It’s a no win situation, no matter how many ways it’s described.
IMO, there are three things you can do:
1. Ignore it
2. Delete them from your friends or group (or delete yourself) at the first sign of lunacy
3. Get into a useless, frustrating fight.
Some people that are uninformed are worthwhile trying to convince. People like that are not. My husband has a welfare loving cousin on FaceBook that now lives in England. There's no point in debating with him because he's an idiot and won't be convinced.
This quote kind of applies to your situation and all of us:
"Exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom." Yuri Bezmenov 1984, regarding communist propaganda in the United States and how to brainwash a nation
It all depends on what you mean by “persecution.” I, personally, take pains to reinforce the “yuck” factor in my kids and grandkids. Normal people are repulsed by what homosexuals do. That should never change. But the homosexuals understand what Alexander Pope said about vice: “First we pity, then endure, then embrace.” Hence, they are constantly trying to desensitize kids to the disgusting nature of what they do, and trying to equate what they do with heterosexual relations.
If by “persecute,” you mean not physically attacking them, I agree. If not “persecuting” means that you have to say, “Love is wonderful, no matter whom you love,” I disagree. Not every mutual application of friction to genitals constitutes “love.” Frankly, I like it when anti-sodomy laws kept them in the closet. It is a crime that those have been struck down as unconstitutional.
