So there are no broken homes kids are raised in?

:prof The relationship failing in the future doesn't change that they looked for someone they wanted in the beginning.
 
I think they'd be grossed out by anybody if all they thought about was what they do behind closed doors. Viewing people as sexual beings first and foremost isn't normal, but that's what people do to LGBT.

It's not who they are that makes them gay. It's the behavior they choose to engage in.
 
What is this "trolling" of which you speak?

Well then you point has just failed.
 
How so? What do kids care of their parents sexual desires? The kid just wants his parents.

If I was still a kid, I would absolutely care. If I found out my parents were gay, I would disown them. LOL!

OK you started this. You’re female so you’ll have a female’s view of ‘normal’ sex. So, tell us, when you learned that you would get drippy slippery wet down there during any kind of sex what did you think? Did you think it was wonderful like I hope you do now? When you found out that you would have yucky snot squirted into you and it would drip out and be sticky and would smell what did you think? Did you ever think you’d be kissed there … Yup, ‘normal’ sex is gross. I never think of it as gross.
 
No. They will wonder who's DNA combined to create them. So what?

Btw... a parent is not defined solely by someone who has intercourse and conceives or causes conception.

I think any normal kid would want to know who their real parents are. Happens all the time. A kid finds out he's adopted, he starts to ask questions.

Really depends on the kid. There are definitely kids out there who couldn't gave less of a **** about parents who didn't want them.

Not really. My best friend didn't really know her real dad - her parents split when she was a baby and her mother ran, because he was a real bad dude.

Her mother re-married. And THAT man is her dad to her. He's the one that changed her pull-ups, helped her with homework, kissed her good-night, and love her like she was his own. He is her dad to her in every sense of the word. She has no interest at all in knowing her birth dad. The fact that they share some genetics means nothing to her. As she puts it, "I share genetics with everyone on earth. My dad is the one who was there for me." And I really believe her. She's even refused to release her info to her birth dad.

She's a pretty "normal" young woman. There's nothing wrong with her for considering her adoptive father to be her father.

Why? My gay mother is one of the best people I know. Why would you judge some one on something that does not affect you?
 
And they call us the hate mongers.

You gays in this country don't even know how good you have it. You have nothing to complain about. Not one goddamn thing. Nothing.

Really? We shouldnt complain that we arent allowed to get married in many states? We shouldnt complain about how many people view us? We shount complain that many people are MURDERED due to being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered? We shouldnt complain that if you are in the military and have a same sex partner that he or she will not get the same benefits that a straight couple will get? We shouldnt complain about all of the hateful things said about us? We shouldnt complain about those who disown their own children for being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered? Believe me we have plenty to be angry about.
 
It completely grosses me out; i barfed after seeing gay porn at a sleepover in high-school (we were really bored).
 
The absence of hate-crime legislation doesn't mean you can go beat the **** out of someone and get away with it.

Hate-crime legislation simply increases the penalty for an existing crime if it can be proven that the crime was motivated by hatred of that class.

Murder is murder is murder. Assault is assault is assault. You can't claim equality and a special status for prosecution purposes at the same time.

The perp's motives do not effect the vic's actions after the fact, or whether the vic reports the crime or not.

Ok one thing that needs to be mentioned. Hate crimes dont just cover black people or gay people and what not. If someone attacks you for being white or for being straight that is also a hate crime.

And many crimes do factor in motivation in the sentencing. Like if you were to run someone over with a car on accident vs running someone over with a car on purpose. Or the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree murder.
 
True, but so much of their promoting their cause seems to be going all, "Hey! Look at ME! I'm GAY GAAAAAAY! Whaddya gonna do about it? Huh? Huh!? You don't like it? YOU DON'T LIKE IIIIT!? SUCK IT BIGOT!

I honestly don't give a **** until they force me to make a decision.

Oscar Wilde said homosexuality is "the love that dare not speak it's name." Someone more recently called it "the love that will not shut it's mouth."

They want acceptance. I don't blame them. I just don't think they can legislate it, try as they might.

I agree in someways. But you got to remember the only way we can gain the right to be married is if people are paying attention to us.

Hey, life aint ever gona be perfect. STFU and deal.

I appreciate your complaining about not being married because I have the opposite problem: I can't divorce. I've been trying to divorce the bitch for 3 years, and I can't. The Army is forcing me to claim her as a full spouse so she's going to get all those military benefits despite my best efforts.

Life sux man. Time you manned up about it.

Really! Thats your response? Life aint perfect so its ok that you arnt equal to heterosexuals. I talk about people being murdered for being lgbt and you say life isnt perfect and then talk about how you cant divorce someone because of the army. Come on you should be able to do better then that.

Right, no I understand. Hate crime still needs be to be taken off the books.

If you assault me, it really doesn't matter if it's because you just want my wallet or (as is typical for SD) get some measure or revenge for what my white ancestors did to your 'native ancestors.

And many crimes do factor in motivation in the sentencing. Like if you were to run someone over with a car on accident vs running someone over with a car on purpose. Or the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree murder.

Mhmm, what I was arguing against was this notion that if hate crimes were erased, that everyone would be able to start beating up on minorities. You're not saying anything here which is against that point.
 
Are you proposing a fertility test for couples appyling for marriage? I'll go there wit'cha, if that'll stop this asinine argument.

Why not? Some states already mandate a fertility test for some couples (first cousins) to ensure that if they are below the age of 55/65 (depending on the state), they cannot procreate. If they can procreate, they cannot get a legal marriage.

Hey man, people murder people for all kinds of crazy **** all the time. What you do not see in America is the specifically endorsed practice by the majority of the population and even the State to brutally execute gays. That's what you people take for granted. That's why you have no right to bitch about ****. You can go out in public and be openly gay, hold a job, have a live, have a 'partner', buy a house and live together, without fear that every able body in your local community is going to kill you.

You have nothing to complain about.

A couple years ago SD looked at similar regulation, but we decided we didn't need yet another crime to charge the general population of PineRidge with, so we let it go. They already have so many highschool dropouts, meth addicts and various felons, adding to the list didn't seem like it would accomplish anything.
