Discrimination against homosexuals carried into the 21st century

What a weird coincidence! That's why I don't enlist in the army!

Remember kids... not only is homosexuality a sin, it's as bad as murder! So the next time you're ready to put your penis in a man's mouth, you might as well just go ahead and put a bullet in his brain. It's pretty much the same, and either way, you're making baby Jesus cry.And that's why homosexual men can't donate blood.

Yeah, y'see, it all ties together. If homosexuality is murder, and murder is homosexuality, and they murdered homosexuals... then really, it's like they were making love to the homosexuals!With hammers!

Christ, you can't even get gay jokes right. Peppermint Patty is sitting right there, and you go with Lucy? Yep. You saw some dudes kiss, and not get beaten down. As a result, no one has ever killed a homosexual for being gay. Ever.For instance, Matthew Shepherd? The liberal media won't tell you that he was really tied to a fence post, slathered with kisses, and then set free. He's now alive and well, and, ironically enough, the manager of a Dairy Queen.

Yes, they do. But right now, we're talking about the ones who are killed for being gay.I'm officially nicknaming you "Ralph Wiggum", by the way. When your posts stop reading like variations on "my cat's breath smells like cat food," you will earn a name of your very own.

You do that, Ralph.

No. I'm just well aware that I know more than you. Good for them.Has no bearing on whether or not they should have the right to do so, but hey. Their choice is their choice. Stoopid uppity fags. "They", of course, being the monolothic group mind that speaks for all homosexuals everywhere.They are one. They are legion. Yuh-huh. We've been over this, and over it, and over it, and every time you just wait a bit, and repeat, "I support civil unions for gays."Your cat's breath smells like cat food. You bent your wookie. It tastes like burning.Here's a red ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it in the corner while the grownups are talking.

My bad... I'll send Yeardley Smith a fruit basket or something.

Lemme whip this one through the ol' Ralphometer, see if we can get a translation going."What is bigoted about me if I support equal civil-union rights for gays? And please don't actually tell me what's bigoted about me, because you've already done so for, like, three whole threads. I didn't listen then, what on Earth makes you think I'm going to listen now? It's much more fun to just keep repeating myself. When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!"

Oh, Ralph, no. I realize you're very old, and often get confused. But you haven't been named Ralph Wiggum because you're an old man. In fact, your namesake is a fictional eight-year-old, with severe learning disabilities.

You know what's funny? If my fiancée and I choose to have anal sex on our wedding night, the government will still recognize our marriage.Ned... I agree, civil unions for everybody would be fair. Although, if anyone is so desparate to keep gay people from getting married that they'd rather do away with all government recognition of marriage, then that says some extremely nasty things about the person in question.

Unless sexuality somehow negates the fourteenth amendment, sure they are.You know, it's possible you've never read the fourteenth amendment. I know we've posted it several times, but it's still seems pretty likely that you just sorta scanned it and thought, "I choo-choo-choose you." Here, I'll throw it out one more time.

quote:

---

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

---

The people you want to single out and prevent from marrying... are they citizens under that definition? Yes they are. Oh, shit. Can't single them out to be treated differently.Now, honestly, I'd like to give you a chance to correct me, should I be missing something. So if you can see some sort of equivalent to the phrase, "unless you're one of those dudes who does it with dudes, that's just messed up," in there, feel free to point it out.

Oh, you got around to renting that gay porn? Chose to let it turn you on, did you?Shall we give it... what, an hour before Ralph says, "no, I think it's probably genetic," then another hour, once he thinks we've forgotten, before he says, "no, I think it's a choice." That's what I asked you to find, Ralph. See, I found you the part where it guarantees all citizens equal treatment. Unless you can point to a clause that says homosexuals aren't citizens, or that the equal protection doesn't count when it comes to homosexuals, the matter's settled; homosexuals, being citizens of the country, get equal treatment.If straight people can get married, so can gay people. I know for a fact that I already pointed out to you, in a different thread, that the fourteenth amendment was not written by the framers of our Constitution.I guess you did just glance at it and think, "It says choo-choo-choose you, and there's a picture of a train!"

It says nothing about it one way or the other. Their prejudices weren't written into it. And knowing that they'd get some things wrong, they left the ability to amend it. Which we've done several times, one instance of which is that fourteenth amendment, which you keep avoiding.I can understand why you're avoiding it. If one actually sits and reads the fourteenth amendment, there's no way to avoid allowing gay marriage.That's okay, though. At this point, I'm sure no one here expects you to be able to read.

Except for the part where I quoted you the relevant law that guarantees equal treatment for all citizens, and cited legal precedents so you could see how that law applies to this exact situation.Then, of course, there was that part where Taz posted links to medical studies that pissed on your opinions about choice.But yes... if you go ahead and ignore all that, I suppose you could call what's left "opinion."Except for the business about you being exactly like a bigoted version of Ralph Wiggum. That's just objective fact. Cool. But since we have to treat all citizens equally, when do you want to schedule the vote on your "marriage?"Thursday's good for me.Edited by Dan Carroll, : Grammar costs nothing
