A Hypothetical Situation

[catlover]

You're not going to make any headway on the issue of homosexuality through an appeal to emotion, or by groundlessly blasting the ability of your opponents to comprehend hypothetical concepts.

Hypothetical situations are lost on some people because there is a lack of empathy for gays and lesbians. They are treated as less than human, so some people have problems with empathy compassion etc towards this group of people.
