If you have a same sex marriage, some people will not want anything to do with you. This is not use of force. Teaching minors sex change operations are good is not what voters want. They may try to shut down LGTBQ recruiting in public schools.
I suppose. And if you say that you want nothing to do with people in same-sex marriages, some people will not want anything to do with you either. I have a feeling that the latter group is significantly larger than the former.
I agree. I never said it was. You, on the other hand, claimed that homosexuality was being "imposed upon" you - which would imply that someone is trying to force you to be gay. Gonna need to see some proof of that. It being visible and talked about in society does not impose upon you any more than pork being visible in the grocery store imposes upon Jews or Muslims.
That depends on what you mean by "teaching sex change operations are good" and which voters you ask.
And now we're making up bogeymen. "LGBTQ recruiting"? Really?
Rocks in Your Head,
No, you said:
No one is trying to impose homosexuality on people who experience heterosexual attractions.
Depends on what you mean by that. Gender affirmation surgery is a valid treatment for gender dysphoria. In that sense it's good - like chemotherapy is good as a treatment for cancer. But just like I wouldn't suggest that everyone go out and take a round of chemo, I also wouldn't encourage anyone to transition without proper medical advice from doctors and psychologists.
Your opinion is noted.
That's not what you said earlier - see above.
It's not a popularity contest.
Gee, I wonder why. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with people like you telling them that they're abominations, that they're not worthy of the same rights enjoyed by heterosexuals, that they're going to hell because of something they have no power to change, could it?
Rocks,
Apologies, though you did say that you see homosexuality as wrong and that you don't think gay people should get married.
Neither do I. It's good thing it isn't happening, nor is anyone encouraging it.
No, Democrats lost the House because it's a midterm election with a Democrat as president. The last Democrat to hold on to a majority in the House past the first midterm was Carter. In order for your premise to be true, you'd have to actually point to something concrete that Democrats gave to the LGBTQ community in the past two years. There isn't a lot:
You believe homosexuality is wrong. It's a belief.
"more popular": Are we in junior high? Who cares about what is "popular"? Did you know that only 10% of people are left handed. My mother had her left handedness beaten out of her in elementary school in Europe in the 1950s because they thought it was from the devil.
Yes because people with your attitude tell them that they, as a person, are worthless, wrong and shouldn't be alive.
Yeah. So many stop telling them that you "know that they are wrong" and make sure your kids NEVER tell anyone that they should just die and shouldn't exist.
Are you gay?
No.
I have no objections to homosexual people being who they are, or marrying the people that they love.
Indeed. But if you're trying to convince me to agree with you, you're not doing a very good job.
Only one of those two things is a religious activity. I'll let you figure out which one. (Hint: it's the one that was banned, as a public school supporting a religion would violate the constitution)
As someone who has gotten this several times, it's really strange. It's possible for me to support others getting a equal place in society without me being a member of that group. It's not a zero sum game. Gay people being able to marry and live in live their lives without harassment from the state takes nothing away from me.
Well, in all fairness, that was because someone told them that AIDS could be airborne and transmitted simply by touching someone on the arm.
your study also finds that LGBT youth are far far far more likely to be physically assaulted, threatened, bullies, experience abuse, be harassed and be the victim of sexual assaults.
I have worked with people of different races. I find some are opposed to the racism that does not favor them, but favor those of their own race in the voting booth and elsewhere. I do not assume all white people are racist. A couple I met have a white daughter and adopted a boy from Ethiopia.
