Opponents of Houston equal rights ordinance fail to qualify for ballot ? LGBTQ Nation

--------------------------------------------------
In a day and age like we are living in, it is quite incredible that such hate and animosity would continue to exist for other people. Houston was the only major city in Texas that did not have an Equal Rights Ordinance in place and it finally won approval, only to be challenged by prejudice and undoubtedly those who would wish to continue to discriminate against GLBT citizens. And they led a petition drive to try to overturn the ordinance and put it on the November ballot but that effort has Failed.

But had it succeeded and voters had voted on discriminating again against GLBT Houston residents and that referendum had won, there can be no doubt that when challenged, the courts would have ruled once again as they have so many other times before across the nation that a majority of citizens in a state cannot vote against a minority of citizens where their Civil and Human Rights are concerned. That is the right court decision.

Listen, go and be gay in a Blue State, why do you need to force it down the throats of every village and town around the nation?

Also, it's LGBT, not GLBT

Why force it down the throats of people you dare ask? Because Equality is something every citizen is rightfully entitled to in the United States of America under the Fourteenth Amendment. And when people do not want to see or acknowledge that fact then it must be brought to their full attention, something they could have surely avoided by doing the right thing in accepting other people as their equals.

As to LGBT or GLBT, those terms are quite synonymous, fyi!

governments cannot make same sex relationships equal to normal relationships. We cannot defy natures law. No matter what laws you pass, same sex couples will never be able to create life together. And that will always make them unequal.

No. This is what you're all about:

This is nothing more than the government imposing YOUR morality on others in violation of their inalienable human rights, particularly with regard to the prerogatives of free-association and private property.

Only fools and barbarians don't understand why this is true or care.

So a woman who is no longer able to have kids is some what less of a woman than one who is?

Interesting stance you have there.

Quick question...

Were you born fucking insane or was it a choice?

What is equality to you? What is fairness to you? How far does your definition of "equality" and "fairness" extend? Why are animal sex brothels now legal in Europe? Why have Progressives managed to lower age of consent to 16 in many leftist nations, even 13 in others?

If gays can marry, why can't polygamists? We not incestuous couples? Polygamy and incest are far more Natural than gaydom.

By what standard do you sanction Gay Marriage, but not Incest or Polygamy? Where is Gay Marriage correct where Incest and Polygamy is not?

Spin it quick. No same sex couple will ever be able to produce natural children that belong to both parents.

I know that drives you insane, because it's true!

 

[hazlnut]

When the douchebags sent out to get signatures for this approached someone, I wonder what they said -- I mean how did they spin it?

How do you even get one person to sign something like this?


They must lie to them, play on their fear of homosexuals (homophobia) and make some straw man case against the ordinance.


I wish they would release the names of the people who did sign so they could be publicly shames.

There are lots of good and decent people who oppose same sex marriage. Many times for the same reasons we oppose abortion. For future generations.

The real shame is that 1 in 10 homosexuals is or will be a child molester. Do you know 10 homosexuals? Which one do you think it is or will be?

If you only stand up for the Constitution when it is applied to people you agree with, then you aren't standing up for the Constitution at all.

Platitude?

Do you understand the difference between positive and negative rights? The difference between natural/constitutional rights and civil protections? The difference between civil liberties and civil rights?

No. You don't.

And that's why you're the one who is not applying the Constitution to those with whom you disagree or standing up for the Constitution.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Ordinances don't have the force of Law behind them.

 

[ScienceRocks]

They make me sick.

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

Ordinances don't have the force of Law behind them.

Actually, they do. Ordinances are laws enforced by municipalities under the aegis of the respective state's constitution.

If you believe that, as you obviously do, answer one simple question.

How can two people whom you don't even know who are of the same sex and who marry in a different city or state possibly affect you personally or your own marriage assuming you are married?

That argument should be made to the people who continue to discriminate against others based on their sexual orientation. You obviously have blatant disregard for the Fourteenth Amendment.
