And that vote does not negate Constitutionally appointed liberties like the equal protection clause. And regardless of whether you maintain this cowardly, half assed defense that this is about persecuting poor wittle Chwistians or not, you haven't had your rights stripped and been demoted to a second class citizen. You are not being told you have to or cannot do something. I am being told I cannot do what you can do. That's where the attack comes from.
Does the equal protection clause extend to sexual orientation and to force everyone to accept any orientation as legal? What about the rights of pansexuals? Why can't someone marry their kitchen stove? Among all the traditionally immoral sexualities, why does homosexuality have a special privilege? And yes, deny it all you want, but my right to vote and have my beliefs as law have been stripped from me in California when it comes to defining marriage. Don't be blind to it.
Can you show me where homosexuals are trying to make churches gay marry them?
Strawman duly noted. Ignoring now. There are people who want to regulate speech in churches where they can't call homosexuality a sin.
Why do heterosexuals have to have Mardi Gras where they walk around in drunken stupors ****ing in the streets and flashing their tits, hanging beads off their cocks?
I see that you find these displays to be disgusting too. My point is that homosexuals do flaunt their "pride" and force people to accept them by trouncing around in whatever they wear and calling everyone "haters" who don't support them.
Why can't you keep your sexuality private instead of using it to sell merchandise to little kids and announcing your unions in the paper, etc? Why can't you just sit at home out of the public eye instead of holding hands and kissing in public?
I don't care if gays kiss in public or state in the paper that they are "married."
I know it just burns your ass that we don't act like good little house niggers and stay silent in the kitchen until massa' tells us we can speak. But you're gonna have to get the **** over it, pal. Cuz it ain't never gonna happen, capiche? I don't care how much communion wine you guzzle and how many times Jeebus tells you, it ain't coming to pass.
I'm actually fine with homosexuals voicing their beliefs and voting, along with those who support the homosexual union. I think it's great that they can voice their opinions and make them law. Just like it's great to have people of the opposing view standing up for what they believe and voting... oh wait, in California only pro-gay people have a right to any say on the issue. To be honest, my ass is quite happy that people can democratically vote. You can stop making fun of my religion if you want to. It's irrelevant to the debate to make fun of Christians.
No one is telling you your beliefs are illegal. You can have whatever sorry medieval beliefs you want to have, pal. I don't give a **** and neither does the law. What you cannot do is leverage those dark age beliefs through your vote to impose your beliefs on others, denying them rights that you enjoy (which you incidentally thnk you enjoy because of your beliefs to start with).
Um, yes they are. The judge just ruled that it's illegal for people to vote against gay marriage, and that it's illegal to have that view represented in the state. You're to smart and logical to be blind to this fact. Why can social liberals impose their beliefs upon others? Why is that ok? Why can they force their definition of marriage upon the majority who legally and democratically voted against it?
Except when your definition also include a severe limitation of rights. :shrug:
Homosexual unions aren't a right though. What right is being limited? The only right limited is people's right to vote and have their opinions put into law.
OK, so you can vote on it. And then I can take it straight to the court and point out where your mob tried to curb my individuality. And guess what...today the court sided against your vote. Learn to love it because its gonna happen more and more. :shrug:
They did that in TN too, and the judge correctly ruled that my state has the right to define marriage. We voted, and passed Amendment 1 to legally define marriage.
If your rights were being curbed, I would be fighting right along side you to help you get them back or keep them. What I said is that I don't care about your pitiful angst that you didn't get to strip me of mine.
My rights are being curbed, in that my right to vote has been infringed upon by the judge who ruled the very voicing of my opinion on a ballot to be illegal. California stripped me of my rights and the right to vote on an issue that was presented before Californians. What is the logic behind the judge making prop 8 illegal?
Cut the persecution crap. Just come on down off that cross and hand over your little crown of plastic thorns. No one is buying that you are the victim here.

I was merely exposing you to the truth that yes, Christians are persecuted and those of us who believe homosexuality is wrong get a damn beating for it. Again, attack my religion all you want.
