That, and he takes great delight in pushing peep buttons. My Soap Box life has really improved since I put him on ignore last year. Not worth the read, never really was.

No the point is that marriage is open to everyone... most society's have age restrictions and prohibited relationships but a person's sexuality doesn't come in to it.

What, no endless lists of countries that ban gay marriage? Used to be you couldn't post them often enough. Gee, next you'll come out in support of IVF.
Obviously, he's alluding to the fact that what's being banned isn't gay marriage, it's same-gender marriage. Which is why you get to hear this, over and over again:
All together now: "We're not homophobic, we just think that marriage is between a man and a woman..."
No you've missed the point, pad... marriage discrimination implies exclusion of a person on some test or criteria... there is discrimination, but not on grounds of a person's sexuality. That's right, since gays can and do get married the discrimination argument and analogies with racial apartheid are completely bogus.
...since gays can and do get married the discrimination argument and analogies with racial apartheid are completely bogus.
Only in places where they can and do. In places where they can't, and in the many places where they can get legally killed for being gay, it's a lot more unbogus.
In places where they cannot get married, but can only have a civil partnership (essentially because they're gay), it's only bogus in its degree, not its principle.

Spare us your see-through crap, Your Bogusness. May I remind you of all the times you've asserted that the parenting abilities of same sex couples are inferior to those of heterosexual couples. That the children of gay parents are "disadvantaged". All the horsh!t stats and "studies" you cited.
There's only one point here, and no one has missed it. Your a bigot and a homophobe. And the hilarity of your attempts to deny it is as rich as your BS is thick.

Hmmm. I see your hypocrisy is at work on more than one level, km. If I'm not mistaken, several months ago when I was ignoring your posts, you accused me of running away from the debate. Am I to assume there is a rather stark role reversal now? Sure looks like it to me.
