Where are all these smokers, drinkers, fat people, or any of the other “groups” you mentioned, who are demanding some special right be bestowed on them? I must of missed those reports.
For that matter, where are the lawsuits by adulterers, divorcees, sex outside marriage proponents, who wish “special rights” be bestowed on them or demands for acceptance of their behavior by churches? I must have missed them too.
This issue, marriage, IS NOT ABOUT discrimination. You cannot discriminate on something that has never been in the first place. NO ONE here or anywhere else, on this issue, is suggesting or would suggest, discrimination in hiring for any position any person is qualified for. Qualified being the operative word, and qualifications should be solely up to the business in question. Affirmative action for homosexuals is NOT constitutional, however!
And refrain from using the word “ban” NO ONE has banned homosexuals from anything, although attempts have been made to ban public sex acts by homosexuals the same as is illegal by heterosexuals, without success in most cases I might add. Can we say “special rights”?
If your objective here, is victory in some debate on this issue, is your goal here, save your breath, your time, and your fingers, you will not sway any minds here, and you will not win any debate. There is no debate.
I’m not sure I understand. Are you for affirmative action at all (for women, blacks), just not gays? It’s hard to tell from your post
