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

Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

The question was about discrimination against religious belief.

Out of curiosity, have you experienced this discrimination yourself?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Feeling run down...lethargic? Could be that stick in your butt.

Seriously why so hostile?

Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Doesn't seem right that they couldn't respect his beliefs. That's the problem with the Homosexual lobby and the Left in general...they don't respect anyone's beliefs but their own.

FWIW I don't think being a homosexual or SSM is a belief. More like a condition.

Do you respect the beliefs of a person who thinks that interracial couples are sinning and should not be given the same treatment as same race couples? How about the beliefs that women should not be out in public without being covered or without a man escorting them? My mother, grandmother and I were told while on trip when I was 12 that we couldn't use the restrooms at a gas station because we were women and there was no man with us. Should we just respect those beliefs and never mention such treatment? Should all women in the US have to abide by those beliefs if several gas stations or other businesses decide that their beliefs say that they shouldn't have to do business with a woman who doesn't have a man escorting her? Those are some people's beliefs.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

So be it. From what I hear monogamy it's that popular in SSM either.

We took our vows before God and breaking those is one of the more hurtful things in one's life.

You took your vows before God. I didn't. God was not mentioned in my ceremony at all. I didn't involve God or any religion for that matter in my marriage. Who are you to tell me what vows I took and to whom?

You don't get to determine what vows people are breaking just because you believe that people take their marriage vows before God.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Which do you think are not already covered?
Murder.... Check

Stealing...Check

lying.... check (sometimes)

misleading testimony...check

Kidnapping... check

Rape...check

Murder is always against the law, however not all killing is against the law.

Stealing is not always against the law. A person can "steal" someone's girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other and not be charged with any crime.

Lying is only against the law in very specific instances. Most lying is not against the law. There have been studies that found that people lie an average of 1 lie every 10 minutes. The most conservative studies show people lie at least once per day. Most lies we don't even notice as lies, yet they really are.

We're All Lying Liars: Why People Tell Lies, and Why White Lies Can Be OK - US News

Misleading testimony is actually lying, even if you are talking a lie of omission.

But none of these things are "Christian only" morals. They aren't things that only Christians view as wrong. In fact, Christians weren't even the first people to view many of these as wrong.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

But, it's none of your business. Are you the Gay caped crusader?

Do you realize this statement just placed you in the roll of a Batman villain? If he is the "caped crusader", then that would make you the bad guy, the person breaking laws or treating others wrongly.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Keep you sex life out the the public sphere. Quit insisting on tarnishing traditional marriage. Quit imposing on private business. Quit lobbying for rights that don't exist. Quit trying to recruit our children into your ideology.

First of all, they are not doing anything in public that heterosexuals don't also do. Even if it is only some heterosexuals just like it is really only some homosexuals doing the things in public.

Second, they aren't tarnishing marriage at all. Traditional marriage really doesn't exist as many believe it does. Marriage has changed too much in the last few decades or even century for someone to make such a claim.

They/we are lobbying for rights that do exist, the right to equal protection of the laws. The right to marry the person of your choosing when each of you could otherwise marry if not for your relative genders.

Why do Christians not have to stop trying to "recruit" children to their ideology, if you are asking for homosexuals to stop doing this (eventhough there is absolutely no evidence that homosexuals are recruiting children at all)?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

As I've said many times, I'm a counter to the homosexual lobby propaganda. If others like me and I don't counter this scourge, no one will.

So if you stop, so will I.

At this point you're going to have to send someone back in time for that to happen, big guy.

Nah, just 2000 when most of us were predicting that ssm wouldn't be legal nationally until 2030.

Well you see, as long as he thinks he's helping people he can justify trampling the rights of others.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

The hell? Why would anyone make that cartoon? That's not funny on even an ironic level.

That's why I deleted it. I failed to notice the tears. So I pulled it. But I promise you, it's there. The indoctrination comments he made speak to that. He thinks gays are out to "convert" straights. How ironic? I'd appreciate it if you'd pull it.

Done.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

… just reality. What is it that most religions say about pride? LOL.

It says get off your own throne so God can assume his rightful place. Got it?
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Wrong. I am living in reality instead of trying to force my beliefs on others. You cannot prove that God is responsible for any natural disasters or any disasters at all, so the only "increased risk" is in your own mind.

Hey - if you really knew anything about reality you wouldn't be in rebellion against God.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

The question was about discrimination against religious belief.

How was religious belief discriminated against? Was someone denied the ability to have their beliefs? NO
Was a business providing services to the public prevented from discriminating against people? Yes
Again if you want to argue that whites only restaurants should exist and a company can refuse to hire or be able to fire based on race, religion, sex, sexuality, then make that argument. but don't pretend this is a SSM issue or that your religion is being discriminated against.

A business cannot discriminate against customers on the basis of religion in any state that I'm aware of.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Out of curiosity, have you experienced this discrimination yourself?

In my business ..no. I have however been politically taunted by some Gay customers. I blew it off as friendly ribbing since I've know these people for some time and they knew I was a Conservative.

Taunted? What did they do?

LOL. Austin is a great town. I can see why you'd be so miserable there.

I never said YOU had to do anything.

Do you realize you're stalking my posts?

I know I'm irresistible but, I'm taken. :)
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Taunted? What did they do?
They waited until I was through doing my work and was waiting for the bill to be paid when they all gathered around to 'hiphiphorray' for the ObamaCare bill being signed.

Losers still don't understand they make too much for it to be free.
