DOMA defines marriage and spouses as a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word spouse refers to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.
"Miscegenation defines marriage and spouses as a legal union between two people of the same race and the word spouse refers to a person of the same race who is a husband or a wife."
If it's a crap argument when applied to race, why does it suddenly gain legitimacy when applied to sexual orientation?
quote:
Homosexuals and Heterosexuals BOTH can marry as per the definition of marriage, and spouses.
"Blacks and whites BOTH can marry as per the definition of marriage, [sic] and spouses."
So why did the Supreme Court strike down miscegenation laws as unconstitutional and a violation of the fundamental right of marriage?
If it's a crap argument when applied to race, why does it suddenly gain legitimacy when applied to sexual orientation?
quote:
We are not talking about black people, this is about gay people not having basic rights, except they DO HAVE the same basic rights.
We are talking about the violation of rights. When we did to those who aren't white the exact same thing that we are doing to those who aren't straight, it was considered a violation of rights. So what's so special about sexual orientation that the exact same act suddenly isn't a violation of rights?
quote:
Every example there is on them, its their CHOICE.
Huh? It's their "choice" to be fired, evicted, have their children taken away, deported, refused treatment, even tortured? Strange...all of those things are actions done to them, not by them.
(Yes, it is legal in this country to torture gay people specifically and purposefully because they are gay.)
quote:
Per law they are equal. We have the same rights.
Except gay people are not allowed to get married, a violation of the fundamental right of marriage as declared by the Supreme Court (are you saying they were wrong?) Except gay people are not allowed to serve in the military. Except gay people can still be fired for being gay. Except gay people can still be evicted for being gay. Except gay people can be tortured specifically and purposefully for being gay.
If you really think you have the same rights, then I request that you come here and allow me to give you those "equal rights" you seem to think gay people have.
Now, we've been through this a bazillion times and we still have yet to get an answer from you so I ask that you answer the one question that continues through every single time you try to claim equality:
If it's a crap argument when applied to race, why does it suddenly gain legitimacy when applied to sexual orientation?
