Because this is a free country, and everyone deserves to be treated equally under the law. You don't have to like homosexuality, that's fine, but what you're condoning is treating Americans like second class citizens. If a bakery owner doesn't like gays, he shouldn't be opening a bakery, because sooner or later, a gay man or a lesbian might want their services. What if I'm on a diet, and I don't agree with people eating cakes? Does that mean everyone else should be banned from eating cake?
Yes, if that was my line of business and they had money to pay for it. We've debated all this shit before. It all goes back to the civil rights laws that eliminated whites only restaurants. Children cannot legally consent to sex, due to their immaturity.
Not the same line of argument. If the disease did not exist, would it be ok then? What about anal sex among heterosexual couples?
Hint: Bible in the avatar. If I don't eat some popcorn, I may go to sleep. How many times have we seen this thread?
Then should pro gay bakeries be forced to bake for a traditional marriage rally? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4FQrzzboCqs http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/07/why-gay-rights-are-not-the-new-civil-rights
No it doesn't as the above post points out. Some children are more mature than others. Why make a law forcing all children to be equal?
Anything that looks the slightest bit like support for pedophilia or child porn will get you in deep trouble here, very fast. We swat those people like bugs.
The ideal form of marriage is one man and one woman. I not sure of the affects of having anal relations in that setting would be but its probably better safe than sorry. And even if there was no STDs there's still the fact that homosexuals can't reproduce on there own and if everybody was to soley practice it then the human race would cease.
Just because homosexuality exists, doesn't mean everyone has to become homosexual. I'm not wasting any more of my time in this thread.
I'm in no way promoting pedophilia. In fact I think they should get the death penalty. I'm just using that as an example. For a more legal example I'll use incest and bestiality.
Homosexuality is perfectly normal in the animal kingdom; humans are no exception. Here's a place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior There are no moral implications in regards to homosexuality in and of itself. Of course, I'm not referring to rape, child abuse, etc. but rather to sexual relations between consenting adults. The argument that homosexuality is wrong because such a union doesn't lead to children is particularly silly. Should a woman past menopause stop having sex? Is birth control wrong? If a man is sterile should he not seek a lover? And on and on. I can't believe people get so hysterical over this subject.
Then why do we have laws against incest and bestiality if the only parties that get hurt are those who practice it?
