    Everything here is an opinion and subjective. Not a single point of objective fact.

    No, genetically the differences between male and female are greater than the differences between a white man and a black man. That’s science.

    Islamic theocracies are still opposed to the progress that has been achieved in so many first-world nations, most with a Christian ethos, in marriage contracts for adults. Discrimination by the State is an abridgment of personal liberty.

    Young men are required to register for the draft. Young women are not.

    Pronouns, no... you get called what you look like or are known to be, if mistakes happen oh well it's not a big deal...

    No group of people in human history has ever been more persecuted than Christians.
    So calling sexual deviants a persecuted group kinda falls flat..

    Admittedly 10 is extremely rare, again thankfully, but 14 to 16 was not all that uncommon in the initial years of colonization and the forming of the country. Adulthood came early back then. It has rapidly, historically speaking, worked it's way up, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that such young ages were not uncommon, and that it is still legal as low as 13 in many states and territories.

    Still dealing in opinions, ones that are rapidly diminishing in number.

    Now you are moving the goal posts since you never bother to mention genetics before. And while the genetics are objectively different, it is still subjective as to whether those differences are superior or not.

    40% of highschool kids have sex. 46% said the last time they had sex they did not use a condom.

    10% had four or more partners
    14% used no birth control
    Less than 10% get tested for STDs

    Over half the new HIV cases are 15-24 yos
    87% male.

    2016 210,000 children born to teens

    According to the CDC

    Biggest thing you can do to stop the spread of STDs. Use a condom and have only one partner.

    Given the amount of persecution done by Christians especially with the Inquisition and the Crusades, your bias view of history is noted.

    Actually the biggest thing you can do to stop STI's is abstention. But what does that have to do with the thread?

    Let’s face facts with all of the inconsistencies and impossibilities in the bible, I don’t see how it can be considered to be fact

    Can it be used as a source of morals yes you could make that argument, but subjective morality of the time it was written. There is no basis to treat it as a source of absolute truth when a lot of it is demonstrably wrong. Plus let’s not forget there is a lot of abhorrent things in there as well.

    if you want accommodations and considerations for your beliefs then way not the same for other people’s ?

    Since you are talking about events prior to SSM, how does it related to the supposed slippery slope of SSM?

    But no consideration for their belief that gay marriage is OK.

    They are more than welcome to believe it's ok. They are not welcome to insist that i think and act as though it's ok.

    Well for 1. There is no SSM. Marriage being a religious institution specifically between one woman and one man.

    We can legally call it marriage but it really isn't.

    Secondly this whole thread is about how legalizing abomination makes people experiment with more and increasingly dangerous activities. So comparing time frames before and after is relevant.

    Evolution has given us “male” and “female”. That relationship is the best for many reasons. Like I said, the two sexes are different. They have different strengths, weaknesses, talents, and abilities, which are genetically programmed into who they are. They compliment each other. They fill in gaps. Together, they are whole.

    Male-female couples also benefit from biology. The human body is designed for heterosexual intercourse. Can homosexuals enjoy sex? Of course! But it’s not the same (or equal) because that’s not how our bodies fit together.

    Wrong!
    Drag queen story time was not a thing before gay marriage. OP is trying to demonstrate a trickle down effect of gay marriage being legal now.
    I personally like gay marriage. I feel they should be allowed to get married, but let's not pretend that doesn't have a trickle down effect. Because it does! If they can get married, why can't we teach buttsecks In school and wait, let's go a step further and make sure a drag queen is doing it, and so on and so fourth.
    Don't pretend that isn't what happens. They also didn't want a 3rd bathroom before this whole gay marriage thing. Again I'm on board with it, but policies lead to other policies and not all of them are good!

    Evolution has given us male - female - and everything else in between.

    What does the above have to do with the OP ?
