Maybe punishment was the wrong word. What I mean was that the existence of homosexual peodophiles cannot be used as a justification for denying rights to all homosexual people.

Not rights, "wants." Desires vs. needs.

Yeah, they are. When they're denied a basic civil right that counts as marginalization, punishment, degradation--call it whatever you like. The idea isn't "novel" and sooner rather than later a majority of Americans will support gay marriage. It's bigots like you who are on the wrong side of history. Bigots always are.

Homophobia's getting more and more exasperating to me the older I get.

Just the opposite for me. I can't believe when I've seen how depraved these men often are, that America is so easily duped. Granite, I hate to say it, but I think you are more tooled by the media than you'd care to admit. You strike me as somebody who doesn't wanna be a drone, so don't be.

Really? I'd say God decides. I guess you want to be arbitrator of that instead of Him....

That is exactly how I look at many topics. We live in America where all beliefs are to be respected even when in opposition to each other. We should let judgment come at death from God and not be codified into laws written by men.

You don't know me and don't seem to have any idea what I think or why.

You, Jack, and others are bigots, plain and simple. And when people like you get your way, or any bit of power, you abuse it immediately. I have zero respect or tolerance for the kind of backwards hatred and buffoonery you and others are pushing. It's old. It's insulting. It needs to stop.

They have every civil right I have. I call that equal rights.

It most certainly is a novel idea. The fact that nobody ever thought of codifying such a thing before is evidence of that.

Keep what one does in the bedroom in the bedroom instead of sharing it with the whole world and no one can say jack about someones sex life.

Problem is that gays don't want it in the bedroom, they want it in the street and they demand everyone else go along with it.

We don't want to see what they do in their bedrooms. We just want to watch a nice normal funny tv show.
I love watching Modern Family with the large family and the older man with a Latino wife and then all of a sudden they bring their bedrooms to our bedroom by surprise:



Yikes, I change my channel and watch my favourite actress Sally Fields on Brothers and Sisters. We get so deep into the political couple and then all of a sudden my children gets surprised with Kissing scene in our very own living rooms:



By next year, half the shows will be uninvited.

Soon we'll have to give ourselves parental control on tv and throw away the password.



Even with that, They will find a way into OUR bedrooms. We may have to start shooting.
