Do you support legalizing gay marriage?[W:667]

Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

CC I can'tt do that because people like me are in the silent majority and we never get polled............

No no..... not silent "majority".

Silent MINORITY.


Except you ain't so silent. At least not here at DP.

You are personally responsible for the most "GAY" threads started by any member as far as I can tell.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Got any studies, or links to studies that prove the nonsense you're talking about here?

I am sure Michelle Bachmann's husband could help pray away that gay problem.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Well, as a personal opinion, which i am entitled to, i dont want to see gay pda. But gays seem to want to put their sexuality in peoples faces moreso than heteros.

What a load of crap. I was in a restaurant the other night and some drunk guy was trying to swallow his girlfriend whole. It was disgusting. I see heterosexuality shoved in my face nearly every time I turn my TV on. When I turn the radio on, 9 times out of 10 it's playing a song flaunting heterosexuality, straight relationships, and straight sex. This is all considered normal.

Yet I hold hands with my girlfriend walking down the street and all of a sudden I'm "shoving my sexuality down people's throats."

Really?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

If you can' t see it as sin, consider it a negative force in the universe where we are all conneected by a common thread. It has no usefulness.

Except that it's not a negative force and it's no more "useless" than any other relationship that doesn't produce children.

To all the gay couples out there, married or not, with children or not, you are the "negative force".

And unlike this bigoted horse****, the basis of their opinion is the fact that you're deliberately working to make their lives worse.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Well, it was in the past, when there was not so much noise around gays. And there was not so many gay propaganda. Do you know, that in the present time, the number of those who became gay under the influence of gay environment and gay propaganda is equal to the number of those who are gay by nature

Wait, what? How do you even tell the difference between those who become "gay by nature" and those who become "gay under the influence of..."?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

You are correct that we don't live under a theocracy but, My faith requires me to rebuke sin where I see it.

Its fine to rebuke it, you just won't have the power to force anyone else to.

If you can' t see it as sin, consider it a negative force in the universe where we are all conneected by a common thread. It has no usefulness.

Why would I consider it a negative force when it's not? The rest is just your opinion and you are just upset you can't force it on others.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

No. It would mean that there are places where the law has been amended to create the oxymoron of homosexual marriage. It doesn't mean it's not an oxymoron.

So, since the law prohibiting women from voting was amended, the phrase 'women voters' is an oxymoron, right?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

There is a silent majority on every issue....I belong to the Fleet Reserve Association and we have over 100 members and none have ever been polled on SSM.

100 out of 330,000,000. I wonder why?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

So that 11 year old that was raised by lesbians speaks for all children of gay parents? Sorry but no, I've seen numerous children raised by gay parents that have turned out just fine both physically and psycologically.

Secondly, please explaiIn in your example how preventing those two gay parents from marrying solves that problem. Answer is it doesn't. It isn't illegal for gays to raise children. The anti-gay folks lost that battle long long ago.

So again, the anti-SSM crowd is losing not only to logic, but facts as well.

And when we look at the case of that little boy mentioned, we learn a lot more about the situation.

And we can see that it happens in families where there are parents of each sex as well.

Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Then we can both rebuke the abominations we see before us. I will rebuke christianity because I think it's bigoted bull****, and you can rebuke homosexuality because you think it's a sin. The only important part here is that neither you, me, or anyone else have any power to use the government to deny rights to the groups we don't like.
Yep the FedGov and the SCOTUS need to let the people of our states decide for themselves.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Are we talking about your faith?
Because SSM does serve a purpose. You may not like it but your likes/dislikes are irrelevant.

Then tell me what it's purpose is?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Exactly which "faith" is it you subscribe to? What faith "requires you to rebuke sin" ????

Christianity.

1 Timothy 5:20 ESV

As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

James 5:20 ESV

Let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

2 Timothy 4:2 ESV

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

Good maybe they'll have a revelation., "Go and sin no more"

Look up the definition of "fallacy of composition" and note that it describes what you just did.

My goal is to have folks sin no more. Basically to save them from their selves.

I don't intend to force anything nor can I. I only want them to have eternal life.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

So, why does it lose at the polling place if all these polls are showing that Americans support changing the definition of marriage?

Sin is subjective, so the chances of you achieving such a selfish goal (since the assumption is being made that it is what you believe is sin is what you believe folks should not do any more) are very small.

Again it is written that homosexuality and thus SSM is a sin. That's all I need to know.
I have no idea why it would be selfish other than I might get some good out of seeing someone step away from that lifestyle.

Good one!

There hasn't been a vote taken on same sex marriage in years. I believe it was 2012. NC voted in their ban, yet two years before that, 3 states voted to legalize same sex marriage and a fourth state voted to not place a ban in effect, paving the way for same sex marriage to become legal in that state.

It comes down to the fact though that voters do not represent all of America. They don't get to solely decide who gets rights or equal protection and who doesn't.

It is written in a book. You happen to believe that book is really inspired by God. Many others don't believe that at all. Your opinion is not fact, nor can you prove that what is "written" is really what God wants, rather than simply some guys who lived a long time ago and other guys who want to believe what those guys wrote.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Yeah, the point is a no limits libertarian view of the world. There should be no limits on anything.

I don't think you understand libertarianism.
