Why the hysteria over only 4-5% of the population?

[daws101]

CALLING SOMEone A FAG is the fallback position of the willfully ignorant and homophobic,.

I didn't call Stats a FAG nor am I responsible for his being closeted. But seriously, what percent are?

true but you inferred it so hard your dick must be sore.

No idiot, I didn't infer it - you did.

false! I just read what you wrote

Learn the difference between "infer" and "imply" asshole. See,here I am clearly implying you're and idiot, and semi-literate.

infer and imply are interchangeable, in this case you intended the same outcome..

Why did the LW politicitians vote against ghey marriage for hundreds of years? What changed?

hey dumbshit gay marriage was not even an "thing" for hundreds of years.
It only became an issue in the last 50 or so years.
besides lots of gay and lesbian couples were secretly married.
state or religious sanctioning is only a formality.
why did grown men marry children for thousands OF YEARS ?

My point was this is not a left vs. right thing. This is an authoritarian / fear of change thing with authoritarians of both sides lining up to screw the gays over. The left merely shifted, for once, in favor of a minority group getting liberties slightly ahead of the republican establishment. Shame on the republicans for moving this slowly.... shame on the democrats too, shame on the democrats for making it a poll time decision.

still not buying your mia culpa.

What makes you think I give a shit about your opinion?

you must as you spend a lot of time attempting and failing to change it.

Please cite to where I tried to change your mind about my mia culpa.

Based on the 2013 NHIS data [collected in 2013 from 34,557 adults aged 18 and over], 96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual. The remaining 1.1% of adults identified as “something else[]” [0.2%,] stated “I don’t know the answer[]” [0.4%] or refused to provide an answer [0.6%].


More specifically, 1.8 percent of men self-identify as gay and 0.4 percent as bisexual, and 1.5 percent of women self-identify as lesbian and 0.9 percent as bisexual.


Who is hysterical over marriage equality?


U.S. Adults Estimate That 25% of Americans Are Gay or Lesbian

Those with lower incomes, the less educated, women, and young people give the highest estimates



Even if the "less educated" were right, marriage equality does not impact their lives, so why do they care? Why do they want Big Government to control the lives of these people?

What about politicians? Surely they know their monstrous bills making discrimination legal would affect only 5% of the population, so why do they harp on it?

My own opinion is that RW politicians pander to the fundie nutters because they figure they'll only lose that 5% of the vote.

What about posters here? Why do they get so hysterical over 5% of the population? Why do they want to deny them the same rights the rest of us enjoy?

Why the hysteria?
Because there are gay agitators and democrat agitators who make is so.
The bakery not baking a cake for the gay couple? Most people, if they ask a bakery to bake a special cake and the bakers don't feel they can do that cake for whatever reason........... will go to another baker. For this particular gay couple to make a stink about it..........makes them agitators.

It's not the "fundi nutters" who are making a big deal about it. It's the agitators.
If you pay attention you will see that this is so.

public accommodation.

For you because you are intellectually defeated.

again you presented nothing to waste time answering except with derision...

You don't believe STD exacerbation and Ferguson and Baltimore culture are significant? You don't think that contributing to those conditions is a bad thing?

could you be more off topic?

You don't understand that?

yes ...that's why I said it's off topic.
you are attempting to switch the topic from gay issues/ parenting to stds and black single parent homes.
if that's what you want to bitch about ,than start another thread.

The thread is about the alleged irrelevance of homosexuals and I'm pointing out relevant facts. What is so difficult to understand?

Maybe because those very few abnormal people want to shove it down everybody's throats.

You guys sure like to use that term.

I suspect you really mean "liberals" and many did not change. They believed in equality and "live and let live" and they still do.

Other people, both left and right, have grown, evolved, educated themselves and realize there is not reason to deny equality to ANY portion of the population.

Others do indeed seem to believe it will rub off.

Then there are those are terrified of their own sexual feelings ...

Also, note that same sex marriage is not new and that what some say is "traditional" marriage really never existed.

Agreed. It's not a left / right thing. It's an authoritarian / fear thing. Fear that if we let the gays have civil rights their gayness will infect the population. They are scared.

I smell disingenuousness !

You would also be incorrect. RKMBrown has made his position rather plain when it comes to gays around here.

Well the experiment liberals did on black families was a total failure. The same will be proven with queer parenting. Why do liberals like to abuse kids with failed experiments?

What hysteria? Most of us are too busy going about our daily lives to get hysterical over whether Johnny gets to marry Joe legally.
Now, cut my cable off, then you'll see some hysterics.

why did grown men marry children for thousands OF YEARS ?

What percentage of children being intentionally denied the human right to be raised by their actual parents is OK with you? Why should everyone be forced to subsidize these people if their numbers are so irrelevant?
Such a low percentage of males are homo yet they spread the most STD's by far.
Why such a loud and large representation in the public sphere if the numbers are so low? Why should they be so heavily propagated if their numbers are so irrelevant?

"Why should everyone be forced to subsidize these people if their numbers are so irrelevant?"

Who is "subsidizing" same sex marriage?



Same sex marriage was recorded as far back as the 13th century.

Legal marriage forces subsidies in the name of tax beaks and joint claims to health insurance.
No homo couple were ever the birth parents of a human child.

"What percentage of children being intentionally denied the human right to be raised by their actual parents is OK with you?"

How does marriage equality 'deny children their [birth] parents'?

If we're going to deny some people tax breaks and health claims, we should deny all people the same.

Step parents are not biological parents either. You want to penalize them?

Step parents who exist as a consequence is very different from intent. Why should we deny people who deserve tax breaks?

So, according to you, some parents and some couples deserve tax breaks and health care but others do not, and its all according to some arbitrary idea you have of what constitutes both parenting and marriage.

Lucky for all of us that you don't get to make those rules cuz that's just plain nuts.

As usual, YOU are the one being an asshole.

Your idiotic name calling is stupid and childish, right out of a grade school playground, little kids playing potty mouth cuz it makes them feel like the grownups they aren't. You are proving that those who do the name calling are the ones who are likely hiding from or afraid of their own sexual desires.

And, as usual, your posts are off topic.

Natural procreative design is not arbitrary.

Which takes you right back to step parenting.

Step kids aren't biological offspring either.

No matter what the "argument", shine a bright light on it and it falls apart.

Bottom line is, you think its icky and you think you have the right to impose your will on others.
