How do you perceive that as a threat? The will of the people means nothing when it comes to defying the Constitution which a ban on same sex marriage does. I would really like to see the SCOTUS hear a same sex marriage case out of Texas then you guys can be 0 for 2 in fighting against peoples rights. Since your state led brought Roe V Wade to legalize abortion it would nice if you could follow suit with same sex marriage. It would be more than fitting and well deserved. LOL
If being black is a natural occurrence in nature and being gay (which may be less common) is also, How in fact do they differ?
If gays were as easy to pick out of a crowd as blacks are do you not think that would have happened. Consider all the hate crimes toward gays. Gays use to be beaten in bars and taken to jail just for being gay. The same type of persecution as was done to blacks. They were also put into mental hospitals, fired from jobs, kept from visiting their partners in hospitals and so on. The degree to which this is still done may be less because blacks were far easier to notice. Gays though life hiding their nature so they do not have to suffer some of the many consequences. But it is very much the same as what was done to the blacks in this country.
I could insert pedophiles in place of gays and the same moronic statement would be true. That doesn't make them worthy of legal marriage either. Are these lazy general statements ever stop? That's my line
LOL You made the argument. You support it. I can support heterosexuality's natural genetic history from 5th grade sex ed. <<< Mod Edit: Flamebait >>>
That homosexuals make up an incredibly small amount of the population. Probably around the same percentages like child molesters and people who liked "Ishtar"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals http://discovermagazine.com/2007/jun/born-gay http://www.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2005/08/14/what_makes_people_gay/ http://www.redding.com/news/2008/jun/17/are-we-born-gay-science-suggests-yes/ Then finally I will say that I did not make a personal choice to be lesbian. If it is a choice when did you decide to become heterosexual? Also if it is a choice for all of us then we would all be born bisexual. Are you bisexual?
Oh goody goody! Links to destroy! hehe my favorite! Cannibalism is also found in nature by animals. It doesn't make it natural in nature. Next Oh yes the infamous gay gene. Now lets review the link: Hamer and his colleagues conducted extensive interviews with 76 pairs of gay brothers and their family members and found that homosexuality seemed to be inherited through the maternal line. So a theory like all gay studies, based on nothing more than theory. And my favorite part by an openly gay "scientist" who has already been debunked! WASHINGTON, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- A study conducted in 1993 by openly "gay" activist and researcher Dr. Dean Hamer of the National Cancer Institute examined the X chromosomes of 40 pairs of homosexual brothers. The study, which appeared in the March 1993 issue of the journal Science, found that 33 of the pairs of brothers had genetic markers for male homosexuality. A new study attempting to replicate Hamer's was released today by the same Science magazine, discrediting the 1993 study. The study conducted by scientists from the Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences at the University of Western Ontario and the Department of Genetics at Stanford Medical School concluded that "data do not support the presence of a gene of large effect influencing sexual orientation." Ooops! lol http://fathersforlife.org/gay_issues/gay_gene.htm LOL This is too easy! Try harder! Where are my fruit fly studies? Where is the twins study or the brain study? I hope they are in the next few links Of course not the twins study but a another laughable exaample of selective science The most important part: Not all homosexual men show this extremely feminine behavior as young boys. Really! Wow I may have to sit down from the shock! lol And my favorite part: As identical twins, Patrick and Thomas began as genetic clones. From the moment they came out of their mother's womb, their environment was about as close to identical as possible - being fed, changed, and plopped into their car seats the same way, having similar relationships with the same nurturing father and mother. Yet before either boy could talk, one showed highly feminine traits while the other appeared to be "all boy," as the moms at the playgrounds say with apologetic shrugs. ROFLOL!!! You just proved its not a gene but a behavior learned in life as part of a personality! Well done! hahahahaha LOL The title of this one is priceless: Are we born gay? Science suggests yes So once again we have aonther theory without concrete evidence. Oh boy I was expecting more from you but this will have to do. Thank you for the laughs though Actually you probably did. That doesn't mean it was a conscious choice but something that evolved with your personality. Heterosexuality is a proven genetic trait. Aside from the blatantly obvious procreational aspect the evidence is clear: Women and men gay or straight have the same biological sexual reaction to sexual stimuli, the body prepares for procreation. Natural procreation can only be accomplished through heterosexual sex. Booyah! Not for a second because heteroseuxlaity is a proven genetic trait as I demonstrated
This little stunt is going to backfire on them. Texans don't like to be told what to do by a tiny power-monger. Never have, never will. Keep up the good work, judge..lol..
Humans certainly practiced cannibalism. In many countries they eat dogs and in the US you'd be in trouble if you ate Fido. Is heterosexuality a proven as a genetic trait. Is there a specific gene that indicates such. You will have to show me the research on that if you don't mind. There is no link to any genetics indicting ones sexuality. I'd still like to know when you made the choice from your birthed bisexuality and your heterosexuality. In the bold. There are many heterosexuals that choose not to have children yet they are sexual. This is also unnatural. If sexual activity were solely for having children what is their problem. If you have sex is the sole intention always to have children. The natural state of humanity is also non monogamous yet the human animal attempts and poorly I might add to be monogamous. This is also something that people have found their way into. Lastly it is nice to debate with an adult. Perhaps when you grow up you might like to have an actual debate on this topic.
No they don't and that is why it's so funny that abortion was legalized because of a case brought to the SCOTUS out of Texas. The case is Roe V Wade. I do so hope that the case that legalizes same sex marriage across the nation comes out of Texas as well.
Eh, I was off about this early on, too... Apparently, this particular judge doesn't perform any weddings, gay or straight...
"Everyone has the same right to marry someone of the same sex. Heteros are asking for special rights."
How convenient for your conscience, eh? I'm sorry that you choose to take such a parochial view. Bigots and racists win when they can divide and conquer. I don't waste time in circular arguments, so knock yourself out excusing the inexcusable.
So does this mean that if same sex marriage becomes legalized, she still won't perform marriages until polygamists can get married too? Or is she going to out herself as the self-serving hypocrite that she is and start freely performing marriages while other groups are still denied the same "equality" that she feels so strongly about? Why can't these same sex marriage activists just be honest about what they want? It's clearly not about "equality" at all. Because it doesn't seem to bother them that much when other people are left out. Their whole crusade is only about whatever affects them personally.
churches do pay taxes. Liberals try not to, though. This judge should not be taken as an example of gays though. Most gays I know are reasonably intelligent, kind, caring individuals. Gays like this judge and Rep. Frank are the exceptions. We all have the exceptions but we try to ignore them.
And it's not limited to just that. ONLY the gay and lesbian sexual fetish behaviors are addressed, all other sexual compulsive behavioral groups are left clear off the ticket for now. Well, to be fair, it's strategic. Can you imagine how quickly gay rights would be defeated if polygamists soon to follow were publicly advertising lock step with the gays? The main demographic group supporting gays outside of gays are hetero women, who won't care for sharing hubby with another wife as a consequence of dissolving the current description. And because of that people like R. Maddow are using the current push on women's contraception and abortion rights as "locking arms with the suppression against gays" [but not polygamists for now]. The quickest, surest way to defeat gay marraige, and Maddow's latest ploy, would be to openly and publicly have a pair or several pairs of polygamist families openly marching in gay protests side by side. Put a couple of them in every packed legislative hall with big signs saying "POLYGAMY TOO!" or similar slogans. In every gay pride parade, a group of polygamists marches right alongside. True, no religious polygamy outfit would do that, but there are many secular or non-traditional religious groups like wiccans who would take up that torch alongside their "brothers and sisters" in the gay movement. Hint hint...for you preserve traditional marraige strategists out there... I get it, the Agenda knows it won't win the popular vote. It's putting all its eggs in the SCOTUS basket, hoping for "class" protection under the Constitution, even though theirs are a very limited set within a wide pool of compulsive sexual behaviors. This will take an Amendment. I hope they're working on Congress too? Upsetting the foundation of states' penal and civil codes regarding behavior is going to take a 2/3 majority there..
"..excusing the inexcusable..." Like promoting pedophile Harvey Milk to children in CA schools as "THE gay hero of all time"?
