    And neither is left handedness, but not default doesn't mean wrong.

    Polygamy is group marriage.

    Men and women have more genetic differences than a white man and a black man have.

    Scientific fact.

    Why would that be desirable?
    Really? You think children reared by "two mommies" or "two daddies" are not harmed by "gay marriage"?
    You think marriage is necessary for that?

    True, there was that one, but then you tried to claim opinions using the fact, as facts themselves, so you are not much further along.

    Not a problem, just as soon as you agree to remove all religious exemptions and allowances.

    Churches etc. start paying tax, if you're a doctor; be a doctor don't bring your religious beliefs into it.If this means you can't do some things as a doctor go be something else. Want to discuss abortion, great just don't bring your religious beliefs into it.

    OR

    We can make allowances for everyone's beliefs and how they think and treat people how they want to be treated.

    Children do best with a married father and mother living in the same house. Can they succeed in other situations? Yes. It's just not as likely.

    You think it's fine for people to multiply without marriage? It can be done, but it's not optimal for the children.

    This part is easy. Don't take the training to do what you don't want to. I find it amazing the number of people who are worried about doctor's being forced to perform.abortions against their religious beliefs. Abortions are specialized training, as much as OB/GYN, or cardiology. Why would a doctor take that specialized training if they don't want to do.it?

    Subjective values based upon what you believe is best and optimal.

    Ask the experts. They’ll confirm what I say.

    Two men or or two women can’t give the same experience to children as a mother and a father. The sexes are different, with different abilities.

    Bruce deciding to be called Caitlyn is STILL none of your business. Weird you think it would be.

    A different experience doesn't mean a lesser experience.

    The experts who are not biased will confirm that a two+ adult caregiver situation is vastly better than a single parent situation. The bias ones will claim it must be a male/female combination and then try to compare that combination with single lesbian mother's. We've already debunked those studies in previous threads. Show me the studies that compares a male/male or female/female parenting situation with male/female.

    You base this on nothing but your own opinion and BS right wing blogrags.

    And don't try to conflate single parent homes or those with divorces with gay marriage. Those are failures of hetero marriage NOT gay marriage

    And the experts will say that a gay couple with solid finances and secure home life is a better place to raise a kid than the home of an abusive father and alcoholic mother. There are literally a million exceptions to your claim.

    Google “Study: children fare better in traditional families” in the Washington Times. Two studies support what I said. One from the Univ of Texas at Austin and one from the American Psychological Association. I don’t know how to link on a phone.

    Perfect example.. i want personal freedom, you want to attack religion and the first ammendment..

    How about i be a doctor and say whatever i want in my own office and you decide if you want a different doctor or not..

    Why do you need to control other people?

    So you're ok with Roe v Wade, in that you are ok with women having a choice when it comes to abortion? You're pro-gay marriage as well? Glad to hear it. Glad you don't want to control what women or gay couples can and can't do.
