About the same number that was against inter-racial marriage at the time of Loving....you might want to educate yourself on the issue Navy, if you are trying to make a point.

I agree, which is why states can chose to use it to mean one man one woman or same sex couples. Any couple, legally recognize or not, could also call themselves married.

Should states be able to use to it describe one woman/one man of the same race? Afterall....isn't it a "state's rights" issue? Did the SCOTUS overstep its bounds when it took away the states right to define marriage the way that they want?
 
I wasn't aware there were anti-straight laws anywhere in the world, unfortunately there are loads of countries etc. who have a lot of anti gay laws.

Also there is very little gay on straight hate crimes and the other way around that is not an uncommon practice.

that's primarily because ANY crime against a gay person is considered a "hate crime". whatever the crime it happened because the victim was gay. :shrug:

No it isn't. That is what the right-wing propoganda machine WANTS you to believe but that is not the way that hate crime laws work at all. You are a victim of misinformation.

The thing is if a gay person is murdered why do you need a so called "hate Crime" when the perpetrator is already going to be executed. I mean what more can you do to the guy/girl? That is why it is ridiculous to have "Hate Crime" crime laws in most cases.

That's complete BS. A lot of states don't even include sexuality in hate crime classification, nor is the motive always found and in some cases the victims (if they survive) are afraid to come forward precisely because the question will be asked why they were attacked. Anyway, the point being made was that if we're going to get into which group is more intolerant, heteros attacking homos *solely* because of their sexuality is far more common.

Not every gay-bash is a hate crime, even gays can be rotten people can have their asses kicked because of that but a lot of straights beatings on gays are done because of a dislike/hatred of gay people.
 
Is Navy ever going to stop posting utterly ridiculous polls?
Your world is too black and white Navy, too simplistic, as your choices to this poll show. You will never be taken seriously unless you demonstrate the ability to analyse an issue in a thoughtful, intelligent manner. In the years I've known you here, you've never managed that yet.
 
Its odd I don't see the people that said gays were the intolerant ones (18 of them) complaining about the poll.......Just further proof that gays are the intolerant ones.

Because you're the intolerant one and the poll was biased toward that view? Obviously, anyone who agrees with you wouldn't complain about the poll.

I even had to explain to someone about why you worded the choices the way you did because they thought you were extremely biased. You should thank me.

Out of curiosity, have any of your polls ever gone how you planned them to go? Again, just curious.

Uh huh. So when you started this poll you thought to yourself, "People will definitely vote that straights are more intolerant than homosexuals by nearly 3 to 1." Is that what you're saying?

What profound logic, assuming that circular is a synonym for "profound".

...and assuming that a crash test wall is identical to a circle.

Are you familiar with the term "false dichotomy?"

You want to know who the intolerant ones are? People who want to ban same-sex marriage because they think they have some magical right to own that definition over everyone else. People like you, who think they own a word and nobody else can have it. How come that wasn't in your Fair and Balanced poll?
