Kids talk. Kids have lives outside of Scouts with the same kids as within the Scouts. The fact that the kid is gay should not preclude them from being in the BSA...and now it doesn't. Awesome, huh?
The Scouts were always about family values, not sexual diversity. At 12 we weren't talking about our sex lives, there's nothing awesome about kids doing it at that age, let alone homosexual stuff.
It seems that you are the one confused. Blacks were not able to marry whites...that went on for centuries until our society progressed, we stopped thinking of blacks as "less than human" and an "activist" Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to keep people from these relationships. Marriage was ruled by that Supreme Court, a Fundamental Right. Marriage was affirmed as a fundamental right on two more occasions by the Supreme Court. They declared that you can't keep divorced people from remarrying and that you couldn't keep convicted killers on death row from that fundamental right.
No, you are confused. Your rambling away from it means you can't address the fact. Black men were treated differently than white men. So that meant that not all men were equal. You're talking about relationships, not individuals. There is no constitutional right to marry anyone you want. There isn't even any state law to that effect now. Sso far we have gays imitating heterosexual marriage but it will just be a matter of time before that's challenged. Why two people?
The "right to a relationship" was also affirmed by the SCOTUS in Lawrence v Texas.
There is no "gay marriage", there is only marriage.[/quote]There was only marriage, now there's gay marriage. Even though offspring will not result, so society doesn't benefit from the union. So let's do away withlegalities since it no longer recognizes the special relationship between men and women.
Golly. So you agree with all judges? How is that possible?
Do you know what "society" thought of interracial marriage when the SCOTUS ruled in Loving v Virginia in 1967? Do you believe they should not have ruled? Do you know when "society" would have be willing to "allow" blacks to marry whites? I'll show you.
Huh? I said posts ago it wasn't legal. I also said it doesn't relate to gay marriage. I also said opinions don't matter since society is being bullied into it by a very vocal minority.
As to why three men can't marry, that would require an actual changing of thousands of laws. Marriage is a legal contract that gives the power to make decisions as though you were that person to which you are married. Two people...that's how all the laws are written.
And yet polygamists have managed for thousands of years. If decision making is your excuse we could make it four people, three in an agreement is a majority. And who are you to say three can't love each other equally? It's hypocritical to accuse the majority of being intolerant while you won't tolerate anything but your view.
Yeah, well religion does that.
Uh huh...and how many times has legislation been introduced to do that, remove all the rights benefits and privileges associated with legal, civil marriage? Have you called your Congressman to propose said legislation? Let us know how it goes, okay? In the meantime, I can't wait to file joint Federal taxes as legally married Americans!
That's not an argument, just opinion. Your position is that opinions that differ from your own should not even be considered. Typical.
Just how twisted do you have to be to get from what I said to 12 year olds having sex?
Are you having your own conversation in your head without anyone else being involved...because your responses are not matching up to what I'm saying.
You can't connect the dots, apparently. You claimed kids were revealing their homosexuality and getting kicked out of the Scouts. Now you aren't talking about sex?
