Freedom from discrimination is a basic human right.
The sad thing is, I'm willing to bet a lot of Non Vbookie cash on there being a larger portion of sexual marriges that actually work than straight marriges. Not that we've set a high bar at 50% for anyone to hurdle.
Freedom from discrimination is a basic human right.
Sexual orientation is a basic human right? There are some people who are "oriented" towards young children, some who are "oriented" towards multiple partners, some who are "oriented" towards relatives and so on.. perhaps we should let them marry whoever they want too... and the rest of us that think that's wrong, well you just have to live with it...
You have to draw the line somewhere.
Indeed. TPark's desire to marry his sister should en le him to the right to force everyone else to recognize his marriage to his sister. After all, he can't help it if he wants to tap that ass for the rest of his life. To not allow him would violate his 'basic human rights.'Freedom from discrimination is a basic human right.
Once again, what about forcing me to accept straight marriges????
Unless you're talking about taxes, "acceptance" is not a burden. It cannot be tangibly forced upon you. You can choose to hate gays, blacks, teenagers and celebrities all you want.
When I heard that the ban had passed in Ohio I knew it was over for Kerry.
Apparently young Manuel can't read.
How about we move marriage out of the government arena? That would be a nice first step. Forcing your view of marriage upon others who do not share your view of marriage and infringing upon their individual rights because you feel yours are being violated is not exactly the best solution to this issue.
yes, well then why are you advocating yet MORE marrige legislation??
once again your bigoted views about things simply do not matter. comparing sexual marriage to marrying your sister is like me alluding your worthless faith to witchcraft.
You might check with the Supreme Court on that one -- at least in terms of defining marriage as a fundamental right. You might also check with them on the idea that state's can deny fundamental rights to sexuals.Marriage isnt a basic human right. Life is. Voting is. Property ownership is.
So you have no point. Good talk.comparing sexual marriage to marrying your sister is like me alluding your worthless faith to witchcraft.
Whatever, always playing 2 sides of the coin.
Denying Marrige rights to gay's is not equal. Thats the bottom line, it's discrimination because of your spouses gender.
Again, re-read my statement. How exactly would that deny "marrige" rights to "gay's"?
Equating sexuality with child molestation and incest is laughable.
Great post, FWD... you hit the nail on the head if you ask me. Not ironically, it is always the majority that forgets that "majority rules" is cons utionally incorrect.
I'm glad to see Marcus is still in the habit of dodging facts to serve his agenda. I can't recall any proposed legislation to make gay marriages legal in this election, just a smattering of cons utional ammendments to ban them (which have been rightfully left up to the states to decide). Thattaway to get the Government out of the marriage business.
I haven't forgotten.
It's just sweet to take that argument away from the Left this time...by 3 and a half million votes. And, in this election, that's a mandate.
Haven't dodged anything.I'm glad to see Marcus is still in the habit of dodging facts to serve his agenda.
I didn't say there was any such legislation. Pay attention.I can't recall any proposed legislation to make gay marriages legal in this election,
Nice straw man. Ask Yonivore to defend that position.just a smattering of cons utional ammendments to ban them (which have been rightfully left up to the states to decide). Thattaway to get the Government out of the marriage business.
I know you are obsessed but at least bring a real argument next time, lil' snott.
Uh, there's a huge difference between sex between two consenting people of the same gender and child molestation. It's the same as comparing consensual sex to rape.
I'm not talking about the sexual act itself, but about defining "sexual orientation" as a right. And I like how you ignore the rest of the scenarios involving consenting adults...
I'm for legal civil unions.
I don't really give a flip about all this anyway. As for me, I'm for women! Gays and lesbians have always been here....always will be. I don't bother them and they don't bother me. Just don't push that on me.
I also am for legal civil unions.
I believe:
Gays should not be discriminated against in housing
Gays should be able to buy property together without having to create legal partnerships under business law.
Gay partners who have created a civil union should not be denied access to partners by "real" family in medical situations
Gays should be able to leave property to their civil union partner without "family" being able to contest it in probate.
NOW MANNY...
what ADDITIONAL rights would you like to add to this list?Denying Marrige rights to gay's is not equal. Thats the bottom line, it's discrimination because of your spouses gender.
