    Prop 8 was rightfully found as Unconstitutional. And perhaps you should read the Constitution, there is no way to have a national propositional election.

    Your employer should have a rule against such things.

    Amen.

    And when we're talking about millions of people, even 1% of them is highly significant.

    And that someone would minimize the significance of that many people, is essentially 'dehumanizing'.

    That's ludicrous.

    My good man you're missing the point, the people voted for it and wanted it. Being found unconstitutional didn't change their minds, only the law.

    It's like this:

    Homosexuality is akin to eye problems.....millions wear glasses to function....doesn't make them any less human or equal. Millions are gay....doesn't make them any less human or equal..BUT...they cannot copulate to produce children. Hence their biological make-up belies their sexuality. Both are not so much "normal" as they are a common occurrence within the human condition.

    Oh and for the record, please stop all this BS about "trans-gender/sexual".....that's just a neologism to make gay folk feel better. In reality no human being has been turned into a function member of the opposite sex despite hormone injections and various surgeries. In other words, no man has been turned into a woman with a functioning vagina and womb that can conceive and bring a child to term. No woman has been turned into a man with a functioning penis capable of producing semen.

    Period.

    So you have transvestites of various degrees, but NO trans-genders or trans-sexuals. So if your principal okays some gay kid with issues to use the bathroom that belies their biology, you have them cut that stuff out! Other than that, being gay doesn't make you stupid, so there should be NO job discrimination.

    Parts, my friend....which doesn't automatically mean that they are capable of performing duel sexual functions of man/woman to completion. And THEY ARE A BIOLOGICAL ERROR.

    thanks for making my point.

    Actually it's a lot more akin to schizophrenia.

    No it's not, because schizophrenics are not logical enough to seek medical means to cement their delusions.

    Apparently you never saw In The Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood. Comcast has it on demand. A rather eccentric example of how a photograph on a desk can change things, but nonetheless true. It reveals the person's vulnerabilities.

    Based on what scientific studies?

    I think you're just letting your own prejudices influence you here.


    U was not making your point.

    My good man, YOU'RE missing the point. Nobody, not the Legislature, not the People, not the Congress, NOBODY can pass an Unconstitutional law, no matter what they think in their heads. It doesn't matter if you can get it voted for.

    Yes it is, because in both cases the victims are mired in self-deception.

    We aren't talking about the Secret Service (who probably does have pictures on desks, nevertheless). Anyway, an office worker or a supervisor typically does have something to remind them of family in their office.

    This isn't even worth debating.

    It was ruled unconstitutional by the STATE courts not the SCOTUS.

    Do you really think you can change their minds? With an unprecedented 79% voter turn out prop 8 passed 52% to 47%.

    It's not enough today just to ignore Homosexuals anymore . There are numerous large companies today where if you don't openly and verbally support THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA you are chastised and persecuted ! It's getting completely out of hand ! It's got to stop !

    After being a life- long Democrat, since Carter ,I’ll be voting Republican for several reasons such as the disproportionate proliferation of HOMOSEXUAL TV programs and movies and the GUN GRAB ATTEMPTS by the Democratic Party. But , these next reasons really burns me up ! Recently, an openly HOMOSEXUAL teacher in EFLAND , N.C. a few days ago read the book,” KING AND KING “, TO HIS 3RD GRADE CLASS. It’s the story of TWO HOMOSEXUAL PRINCES getting married and it shows them kissing. Also The Girl Scouts of America has been FORCED, by HOMOSEXUAL Groups, TO ACCEPT BOYS WHO IDENTIFY AS GIRLS and In the state of California, heterosexual married couples can no longer be referred to as Husbands and Wives , Democrat Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill into law that not only redefines marriage, but eliminates any reference to husband and wife, replacing each with the Generic Term Spouse !
    People this is beyond the pale. The rampant proliferation of this kind of behavior is what we can expect if we continue to let the 2% TAIL OF THE HOMOSEXUAL POPULATION continue to WAG THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The REPUBLICAN PARTY is our last hope in maintaining some kind of MORAL COMPASS AND TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES that are the foundation of this Country . Voting in a another Democratic president will give them the opportunity to appoint 3-4 new Liberal Supreme Court Justices giving the Court a LIBERAL MAJORITY FOR GENERATIONS. Meaning we can expect more of this. The following is the Genesis of a Lawsuit filed in 2006 against the reading of the HOMOSEXUAL BOOK.”KING AND KING” TO 7 YEAR OLDS IN A CLASSROOM.

    Funny how you can’t read a lesson from the bible in a classroom .but you can PROMOTE HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE TO 2ND AND 3RD GRADERS !!!!

    In 2006 Robb and Robin Wirthlin and David and Tonia Parker filed a federal lawsuit against the school district of Eastbrook Elementary School, which their second graders attended in Lexington, Massachusetts. The Wirthlins' son's teacher had read King & King aloud to the class as part of an educational unit on weddings. Parents countered that the school's job was to teach about the world and that Massachusetts sanctioned same-sex marriage The plaintiffs claimed that using the book in school constituted sex education without parental notification, which would be a violation of their civil rights and state law. Robin Wirthlin appeared on CNN, saying
    “ We felt like seven years old is not appropriate to introduce homosexual themes. My problem is that this issue of romantic attraction between two men is being presented to my seven-year-old as wonderful, and good and the way things should be. Let us know and let us excuse our child from the discussion. ”

    HERE’S WHAT THE LIBERAL JUDGES RULED: IF THIS IS THE KIND OF RULINGS YOU WANT , ELECT ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT


    The judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying "Diversity is a hallmark of our nation. The Wirthlins and the Parkers appealed the decision; a three-judge panel of the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in favor of the school. Judge Sandra Lynch, writing for the court, rejected the plaintiff's argument that their religious beliefs were being singled out as well as their argument that their First Amendment right to free exercise of religion was violated, writing, "There is no evidence of systemic indoctrination. There is no allegation that [the second-grader] was asked to affirm gay marriage. Requiring a student to read a particular book is generally not coercive of free exercise rights." The court also ruled that the parents' substantive due process rights were not violated, as these rights did not legally give them the degree of control they sought over the curriculum.

    TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS !

    Yeah, you're a lifelong democrat that hates gay people. We know, because you mention it angrily in every single post you make.

    That doesn't make Prop 8 valid. That just means that two wolves and a rabbit were voting on what to have for dinner.

    A decision that was upheld by multiple federal Courts and soon SCOTUS themselves. Enjoy the last few weeks of your bigotry being encoded in the laws of an ever shrinking number of States. And yes, people have changed their minds. In the past few years it's gone from an overwhelming number opposed to an overwhelming number in support. I personally believe that if Prop 8 were voted on today in CA it would fail, especially if the Mormons didn't spend millions supporting it. They should lose their tax exempt status for that alone.

    I think the SCOTUS will leave it up to the states to decide whether they will allow SSM. We'll just have to wait and see.

    I disagree. Had they intended to do that, or even had the slightest doubt about what they were going to do, they would have issued the requested stays. By refusing to do so, if they now come back and reverse the lower courts, they have created a situation where thousands of couples are in legal limbo, and they fully well knew that when they refused to issue the stays.

    It isn't, since transgender has to do with gender identity, while gay is about sexual orientation. They aren't the same thing.

    Since no one claims they have, this is a strawman argument.

    I already have, but in addition I will add that when they fire you, they can avoid that "clean out your desk" thing. You should have no personal effects in or on your desk.
