Like when the majority of the voters wanted separate drinking fountains for "whites" and "coloreds?"

I'm just refuting your statement that "There's never been any compelling reason for the state not to recognize them, either."

While neither you nor I believe it to be morally right, it IS a compelling reason.

Your going to try to compare this to a racial issue Shades? I thought you were smarter than that.

The similarities FAR outweigh the difference between 1960 segregation and 2008 gay marriage.

Too right. There is no argument for not allowing gay marriage that would not also require removing the rights of infertile hetero couples to marry and solo parents to keep their children.

Segregation was about race and the abuse of a people group. Homosexuality is neither of these. Homosexuals are a group of people who are perverted and sick seeking to normalize their moral degradation.

It would be wise to learn the difference.

Indeed, it would be.

Yes.

You thought wrong.

No thanks. There never has been any compelling reason for the state to recognize gay marriages.

There's never been any compelling reason for the state not to recognize them, either.


There are plenty of scientific ones as the research has shown that the hs lifestyle choice adds significantly to certain risk factors. On top of that, there is no reason for the state to incentive a relationship that cannot produce children or raise them both male and female role models.

Incorrect as you can see from my post above. Why second guess couples without children? Even a solo parent is a better role model than an hs couple because the solo parent is still within their role.

Of course a loving 2 parent family is the optimal scenario for a child to be raised.

A loving gay couple is HARDLY the worst scenario. We let abusive child molestors adopt children. I'm betting this adds significantly to certain risk factors.
