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

[hipeter924]

Because they went crazy over interracial marriage too, and this is just the new in thing for the GOP to hate.

Personally I prefer trends that have more meaning in my life, like interior decorations.

You are so out of touch, conservative. Get with it and progress a little.

Lol, says someone opposed to same-sex marriage.

Yeah cause the libtards have never been against gay marriage...



oh... yeah uhmm...

Attitudes change, unfortunately the GOP hasn't enough.

Where's your proof of that? Romney? McCain? Those guys are socialists with republican hats on they are not conservatives.

I haven't said anything about McCain or Romney, though civil unions do seem acceptable for a lot of GOP candidates. Not that the US won't have same-sex marriage in every state eventually.

I don't mind it to much when a candidate says what his religious beliefs are. But I do mind it when the religious message is fear and hate for another group. That shit leads to tyranny and war.

Exactly. Anyone with cutting-edge knowledge would be. Neo-neocons are for it.

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 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 ?

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?

"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'?

"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.

Why stop there, it opens up marriage to heterosexual same sex couples with all the benefits that you listed.

Can you imagine. Singles are waiting longer and longer to marry. Just find another single member of the same sex, set up a purely financial "marriage" and make bank until you find an opposite sex actual partner to marry.

A Quicky divorce and BAM.

What a brave new world we've created!

I've made that same point. College buds could say they're homo, get married and get the financial benefits and then just get some cheap no-liability divorce and use the system. Thank a homo.

You know college buds could do that before gays could get married, right?

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 ***** about ,than start another thread.

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?

another completely irrelevant post...

I know it's irrelevant to a liberal, because it's the truth.

truth is relative, fact is not, you have no facts to back YOUR racist and homophobic bullshit .

Fact is before welfare blacks families were close.

your point? that did not make them any less disadvantaged

Says the person who is switching the topic to an attack on me.

false! not attacking you just point out the disingenuousness of your posts.

**** you asshole.

true. but an honest one.

Believe it or not, you're not the only honest asshole around.

it appears that I misjudged you about your views on homosexuality for that I apologize.

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

You guys sure like to use that term.

Truth hurts, the Bible is very painful to satans children. Take some pain meds.

so there is more than one Satan?

"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.

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

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.

You make stuff up to fit your biases.
Step kids are a anomalous. That is you using the anecdotal to justify a problem. Like George Burns smoking cigars every day and living to 100 proves that smoking is good for you.

say's Mr. makin' shit up to fit his bias..

Its the left that get hysterical about queers. The rest of us could care less. They already have the same rights as everyone else, they just want special rights and they want to force everyone to accept their disgusting behavior as 'normal'.

Faggots aren't normal and no one has to accept them as normal. That's our right.

could you be more off topic?

yes ...that's why I said it's off topic.

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

false the "facts" you so often bring up are not facts but propaganda.

I rely on the empirical. You resort to propaganda.

false steaming pile..
one question, with your obvious homophobia why did you pick a profession (musician) that is so densely populated with gay people?

really? procreation and parenting are two different things
being able produce offspring is no guarantee of stability or love..

But providing the actual parents is an empirically proven necessity.
And are you suggesting that homo parenting is a guarantee of stability and love?

nope, unlike yourself.
there is no empirical evidence that the biological parents are a necessity.

No apology necessary. My mia culpa.. is that I was on the wrong side of this debate for decades. I came to my senses wrt liberty sometime around 2000.

Because they went crazy over interracial marriage too, and this is just the new in thing for the GOP to hate.

Personally I prefer trends that have more meaning in my life, like interior decorations.

Yeah cause the libtards have never been against gay marriage...



oh... yeah uhmm...

Attitudes change, unfortunately the GOP hasn't enough.

Where's your proof of that? Romney? McCain? Those guys are socialists with republican hats on they are not conservatives.

the Nazis said the same kind of thing.,

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Well if indeed the population of non-straights is that low, it's amazing how much noise is made clear across the societal spectrum. Gay lifestyle is throughout our media, from news programs, drama programs, comedy programs, music, it's everywhere and there's no escaping it no matter who you are.

Ayup.. IMO, though it's an Authority issue not a left vs right issue. Yes, there are too many authoritarians in the left and the right who use their power to restrict liberty. I do applaud the democrats for moving to the correct side (liberty) on this issue faster than many republicans. The republican hold outs appear to be in one of two groups... 1) those afraid of losing support from the religious authority groups that believe god gave them the authority to punish gays 2) those seeking power over others based on some religious authority to punish gays. But really putting the blame on god for their sins against gays... yeah not a good excuse in my eyes. How about we let god speak for himself and stop punishing gays for being different. What happened to the idea of welcoming people that are different? When did we turn into a country of haters and bigots?
