As a servant of Jesus Christ, I reject the hatred FOR and FROM, the glbt community. I challenge the glbt community to denounce telling children that homosexuality is normal, WITHOUT the consent of that child's parents; the PRIME goal of the glbt community. I speak out against homofascism, transtyranny, genderinsanity, and ANY end-run around parental rights. REDEFINED marriage harms children.

Nice hyperbole, Mantronikk. Always makes for respectful discussion of LGBT rights. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dXP24nCL1eQ/TD9IWhtY73I/AAAAAAAAAzs/aQNmFqra8r4/s1600/QuitSquirming.jpg
No, they don't. In many states gays do not have rights of inheritance from their spouses, hospital visitation rights, or tax benefits for married couples federally. By definition this is UNEQUAL and they do NOT have the same rights as you do, Mantronikk. You even said in a previous comment that they do NOT deserve what you have meaning you support the UNEQUAL treatment of legally married gay couples.
If you haven't DONE what I have DONE you don't have the right to have what I have. Where gay "marriage" is legal, the democratic process has been bypassed by activist judges and/or politicians. The legality of same-sex "marriage" is still undecided by the Supreme Court. Any disadvantages incurred by same-sex "marriage" are due to the choices of the couple involved.
In Massachusetts, I do. You keep referring to judges as "activist". It must be one of those buzz words you throw out there to insinuate that there was any wrong-doing. It's an ad homenim attack (which you reject in general, since you dislike when people accuse you of "bigotry" and "hate"). The fact is that these judges interpreted the law and found that same-sex marriage was constitutional.
Jeremy Hooper said it best, Mantronikk:
Funny how the courts are a "defense" when rejecting civil freedoms for LGBT people but are "activist" when siding with our basic worth (or in this case, the procedure that got us there).
And FYI Mantronikk, the "democratic process" you refer to INCLUDES politicians. People elect senators and representatives to vote in their stead. That's why we live in a Constitution-based federal republic (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html). i.e. not a DEMOCRACY. The democratic process was not bi-passed at all.
Lastly, we have 3 branches of government. The executive to hold the laws, the legislative to make laws (i.e. one making gay marriage legal), and a judicial to review laws (i.e. a ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional).

ReplyDeleteGays DO say these things. And gays have all of the same rights that I do.

Did the people of Massachusetts get to vote on the definition of marriage?
