Quote:The Democrats are masters of such practices. They have brought utter ruination to blacks socially over the last 35 years or so, yet still have a svengali-like deathgrip over their voting power. THAT is sickening.
You repeat this over and over but the only "evidence" you provide is so shaky it's absurd...
And if the reaction to gay marriage wasn't relgious, what was it? I don't see you providing any alternative sources in your denials!
Quote:Plus, I can't really equate the plight of blacks to gays, because I still firmly believe that homosexuality is a lifestyle and not a physical condition, and I will continue to believe this as long as there remains to be an absence of any sort of solid scientific data proving it is some sort of biological abnormality. Furthermore, I don't know why people think getting married is a 'right'. I can't honestly remember anything in the US Constitution mandating marriage, and, there are plenty of limits on it, even for straight people. And, of course, what is to stop a person from claiming biology makes them want to marry a child, or multiple people, or their dog? I believe marriage should be man and woman because that is how correct biology works. Choices in life have consequences, and if you desire to live differently from the accepted norm, you have to accept the fact that you can't do things in a radically different way and expect to get the same benefits people who play by the rules get.
See my point? The difference is made by saying that gays are choosing to be gay. One of the stupidest things I have ever heard, but it's all the moral backing people like this need... it's not religious? Well what is it? "Moral"? Where do your morals mostly come from? Yeah, religion. Your defence here is nonexistant beyond denial. Now, I can see in some ways where religion got the bias from -- after all, sex is here for the continuation of the species. Homosexuality does not do that. So it's "abnormal". Okay. But... it's the 21st century now! We know so much more about how people work and society and ... everything ... ! We know that there really is not a "normal" like used to be imagined. There are continuums. Homosexuality? We do not know the source right now. But we will at some point and it is gauranteed to not be a choice that the person ever made, conciously or not.
Then fundamentalists like you will have to stop hiding behind your "choice" garbage and admit your opinions to be what they are: hate speech enacted into law.
