Don't 'defend' my marriage

There it is. She's equating black/white marriage with boy/boy, girl/girl marriage.

Coming soon - boy/dog, girl/elephant.

A couple of years ago, my homosexual nephew (23) immediately turned a brief comment on male and female differences in spatial reasoning (proven by research) into a discussion based on race. I was surprised at the time, but this has been going on in "gay" circles for quite awhile. At this point, I am not sure it can be headed off, the illogic notwithstanding.

She's sick. Equating a sex act with ethnicity. Downright absurd, not to mention insulting in every way.

It's hard to believe that 'enlightened' people of today would even begin to believe that people are born to commit a certain sex act. Born to want to have oral sex? That's insanity.

I take offense to her comparison of sex acts to ethnicity, especially when homosexuals have ridden on the coattails of people who have died to be able to walk on the same side of a street, drink out of a fountain, or eat in a restaurant, and when I look at the innocence of children, minorities in this case, and the revulsion of homosexuals comparing their sex acts to these children.

Perhaps while she's off work "finishing her novel", she could take a few courses in logical reasoning.

[DeweyCA]

What a stupid non-thinking woman! And she probably votes. It is truly depressing to read what these people have to say.

I have read threads at F.R. showing studies that a great majority of black people oppose same sex marriages.

There are some in the black community who have been quite vocal against attempts to equate homosexuality with racial oppression.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Just the nerve of comparing homosexuality to black civil rights is such a travesty. They have been using the civil rights movement with no shame. Unless they wear a sign, do people know that they are homosexuals when they walk down the street or apply for a job? They demand to be noticed. They demand to be noticed, and they demand to change our society.

Sexual fetishists continue to push for comparisons to racial segregation. Right now you can find a number of instances of people seeking legal recourse to being able to walk into the bathroom "they want" to be in.

Transexuals (people who have had "some" surgery, usually men who got breast implants but kept their male appendage) and even transvestites (who technically could be wearing as little of the opposite sex's clothing as a bra or panties under their street clothes) are demanding the "right" to go into the bathroom of the "opposite" sex.

I'm sure that this could be extended to even include "metrosexuals" who just like to sit down when they pee. It is all about your "state of mind", not your physical equipment or genetic identity (XX or XY).

In the future restrooms will be unisex (maybe with an attendent/guard like in Soviet Bloc countries) and no one will want to use them (the relative safety and cleanliness of a gas station bathroom will seem like luxury accomedations).

This argument won't be won by trying to say it's not the same thing. Because on the surface, most non-thinking Americans (pronounced liberals) will believe it.

Instead, agree with it. And then just take it to the next level and make them debumk their own argument.

For example, Yes they are the same. After all at the heart of it gay people don't choose to be born that way; therefore, we shouldn't discriminate against them. Get them to agree to that (and they will). But I think we need to take it a step further to get rid of all this hatred spurred by religion. I'm certain pedophiles don't choose to like little boys and girls, they are obviously born with that lust in them. So who are we to judge him? We need to live and let live, especially if the kid says ok. By then they'll be shocked and want to dismiss you.

I'm sure they'll say the difference is that they are both consenting adults, but you can't let them off that easy. Because the core of their argument is that they are born that way and we need to embrace them for who they are. Just keep framing the discussion around that and they'll get mad and never talk to you again. That's how I keep stupid liberals (I know that's redundant) at bay.

This article presents no example of bigotry or racism. "Surprise" is bigotry.

[Holly_P]

Those opposing gay marriage today only number around 65%

I have seen as high as 90% opposed. I guess it depends on who is doing the polling.

[BenLurkin]

Or how about two sisters in a lesbian relationship, or three brothers in a gay three way marriage? With this person's logic, why not?

[MEGoody]

"There it is. She's equating black/white marriage with boy/boy, girl/girl marriage."

She's doing herself and her race a disservice by equating color of skin with choice of perversion.

[mewzilla]

Or polyandry?

[MEGoody]

"Her point is that the country survived interracial marriage just fine; we'll survive gay marriage too."

Nothing immoral about interracial marriage.

There is something greatly immoral about same sex 'marriage.'

Just one more step down the slippery slope of total depravity. Our nation is going the way of the ancient civilizations who were also great - until they allowed immorality to overtake them.

[MEGoody]

"If you were a black person who wanted to marry a white person in 1965, you'd be in exactly the same position that two gay people are in today."

Not at all. No one chooses the color of their skin. They do choose to engage in perversion.

The former already happened last year.

The father caught the son practicing ..err...Animal husbandry..with the pooch, and severely beat him. The father was imprisoned for this. Probably to get even, or infuriate the father more, the guy DID marry his dog, and created a license with a paw print for a signature. This story was in the news around a year ago.

Well, at least it was a Girl Dog, so it wasn't a Gay Marriage.
