You asked for links, I provided them - they explicitly show that homosexuality and homosexual activity occour throughout nature and are thus natural. You ignored them because you did not like the result. Bigatory... is the only thing here that isn't natural. Thankfully normal people are turning against your false crusade at unprecedented rates leaving only the most extremist of people who believe they should have the right to control the lives of others. You are in a shrinking and dying minority Back on topic, it's disgusting the taxpayer funds these congressmen will waste to pander for votes. Until their starts being repercussions against frivolous lawsuits this will continue in the more "religious infected" areas of the nation.
Your links were ignored because they didn't prove a damn thing except that animals act like animals. I asked earlier... Your decerebrate "links" proved no more than what I see my dogs doing from time to time.
Your knowledge of history is a bit skewed. Who was doing the "religious persecution in Europe" that some people wanted to escape from? It was he Government and other religious sects. Our Founding Fathers were well aware of the problems that were brought about when the Government dictated religious practices. In this Country, the Government does not dictate religious practices. HOWEVER, the Government has a right and a duty to ensure that religious practices do not deny freedom to people with other, or no, religious beliefs. Religions of many different branches are OK with their homosexual followers becoming part of the clergy and to marry. Your religious beliefs think this is wrong. You are entitled to your opinion. HOWEVER, your religious opinions cannot, and should not, allow you deny Constitutional rights to others. For you to want to deny these rights makes you no different from the people in England who denied rights to the Pilgrims.
I previously asked... Where is race is actually mentioned in the 14th amendment? You didn't reply. Was that because it isn't?
Garbled, dangerous leftist bullshit. Gays shouldn't be stopped from having sex, it largely not being their fault they're gay. They should have absolutely NO other rights conferred on them. Gay adoption is a travesty.
Wow! You missed the whole point of the protection of people's right to exercise their religious freedoms. No one is denied any constitutional rights if I exercise my religious freedom to follow my principles and decline to participate in YOUR activities. Pilgrims fled from government persecution in order to be able to freely exercise their faith. Government persecution was the result of members of other faiths having established a state religion which denied religious freedom to practicioners of religions not authorized by the state. Today some government entities are persecuting bakers and denying pizza makers and persons of faith their rights to religious liberty to not violate their faith by the mere gesture of DECLINING to participate in activities that require they do so. Hobby lobby and the Little Sisters of the Poor declined to provide insurance coverage for birth control of their employees because doing so required them to violate principles of their faith. Government tried to persecute them for their free exercise. The Little Sisters did not deny anyone their rights, those who wanted birth control could freely obtain it elsewhere it was not denied to them at all. Bakers and pizza makers and florists denied no one the right to get pizza, flowers or cake, all of which were available elsewhere. They declined to participate in activities which violated their faith. They were subsequently persecuted by government. Not to mention the death threats and threats of arson and violence Memories Pizza received from the supporters of aberrant sexual relationships. Government persecution and prevention of the free exercise was the foundational basis for the First Amendment that forbade government from doing just that. Perverts, secularists and athiests are using the instrument of government to deny some the rights to free exercise.
The creation of children is central to the union, "official" or otherwise. Heterosexual union is the most fundamental part of society - it's probably the only part of society of any relevance. Not all unions produce children, but sh.t happens - the unions still represent the natural order of a healthy society. Homosexual unions represent precisely nothing. Homosexual behaviour shouldn't be illegalized, but giving rights to homosexuals to subvert society and damage children is a subversion of the natural, healthy order of things. The reason these subversions of society have found their way into law is because politicians are cowards who see a vote winner, and absolutely nothing to do with what is natural or just.
Your links provided no proof whatsoever. They were just speculations and a few cute pictures that showed nothing. Nuzzling and hanging out doesn't count because they don't "prove" any homosexuality among animals at all. Show us some of the aberrant practices among, say bull elk, that are common among the anamolous humans who engage in perverse relationships as proof of homosexual sex among animals. Surely there is the absolute proof available, so common is the belief that it occurs.
OK, here it is: Might be fair to say the "lost context" you were complaining about didn't...add too much to the issue, right boss?
It's the context of the discussion the member & I were having. I don't think the 600k was "right" or fair, or whatever. Truth is, sex is sex, & isn't solely for procreation, buddy.
Misread, nevermind this response. You aren't worthy of it anyways. This is just more circular bullshit.
In the same way that pencils aren't just for writing, they're for stabbing people. But they're designed exclusively for writing, and use as a weapon is abusive. As a gay man you obviously want to paint sex as not just being about procreation, as you cannot procreate naturally yourself. But the only biological purpose - the only purpose - of sex is the furthering of the species through natural sex between heterosexual partners, pal 'o mine.
Actually I did. The case that sparked the amendment was specifically about blacks and the right to vote. That was the subject they were tackling with that Amendment. You ran away from it of course as usual. If you can't even be honest enough to admit that then there is no hope for you. Making up facts doesn't help you.
Yet still, no mention of race in the amendment... Looks like it correctly applies to all Americans. The "intent" is irrelevant, only the language itself
