I am not taking anything you say as a personal attack, but you keep missing my point. I do agree with that statement 100%, I am tired of being told I have to tollerate something I don't agree with. I really am tired with the ultra-tolerance that is being preached by some in this country today. We should not have to tollerate something that we disagree with. I am in no way for violance or any other physical harm towards anyone for their decisions in life.
The ammount that I hang out with or know has absolutely nothing to do with how I feel about it. But since you brought it up, I know quite a few. I was born and raised in NY and was around it alot more than you might think. Now that I am in OK, my girlfriend is from TX and used to work at a hair salon where evey man there but 1 was gay. I was there on more than one occasion, and was just fine with them.
When something is wrong, it is wrong. But today, nothing is 'wrong' because we all have to tollerate it, which is the fist step in acceptance, then normalization. As much as you want to believe that homosexuality is okay, there are those that won't agree just as strongly. Why are the nay-sayers any less right than you?
I didn't condemn them for their beliefs, just the fact that they want it legalized under the name marriage, and that it wont stop there; they will want more and more rights ABOVE whats granted to straight couples. Mark my words in your memory and you can come back here when it happens... Just like when the whole attack on cigarettes and guns happened I said (not on here), whats next, are they going to sue fast food for making them fatas$es, I was right. People aren't happy just getting what they deserve, they want more than they deserve.
And its true, we do need to draw a line in the dirt, or else everyone will start wanting the same priviliages granted to them. I know its becomming clichéd, but what about when people actually do want to start with the f'ed up marriages, like family members. Who are we to tell them that they can't love eachother and express that love in marriage? Maybe the gays do deserve the same things granted to straight married couples, I don't believe they do. Getting rid of the whole moral argument completely, you can not possibly argue the fact that it goes against nature and biology, a science. Taking the pure scientific stance on the issue, an organism's sole purpose for being is to reproduce and keep the species alive. How can gays do that?
But I am digressing, this is not an argument against gays in here.
And again, I don't believe that my marrige will be lessened by gays and lesbians being married. However, if we allow everyone that wants to get married and is willing to sue someone, to be married, then there is no point in being married.
And no, gay marriage will not 100% for sure bring the legalization of pedophiles, necrophiliacs and zoophiliacs, but it gives all these freaks a leg to stand on in the courts now. Now they can argue that, "hey you gave these same rights to gays under the belief that everyone deserves equal rights and protection under the law, then so do we!" If the courts do indeed follow their past decisions as they are supposed to, they will have no choice but to legalize everyone that wants it, and isn't breaking the law otherwise.
