The title of this post sensationalizes the nature and tone of the article...

I agree. Some of those people of those sexual orientations are conservatives themselves. I don't agree with the lifestyle (heck, I don't agree with a lot of lifestyles) but ultimately being unkind to people because of their choices is silly. I'm sure people don't agree with everything that I do on a daily basis either.

With that said, I'm genuinely surprised that the Post printed this. These sorts of stats will hurt the Democrat arguments in the long run, though I'm sure people from the LGBT community will be happy that there will be more attention paid to any health needs that they have.

Very important information, OP. It quantifies what most people intuit, namely, that we are being ruled by a tiny sliver of people.

Destroy how?

[–]Trujillo_Caudillo 1 ポイント2 ポイント

By normalizing perverse sexual behavior, by legally transforming marriage from an institution centered around children into one centered around a couple. By erasing the legal distinction between men and women under marriage law, by further eroding the link between sex and raising children. By diverting attention from real injustices- like the marriage gap which exists between the rich and poor. By subverting out media into a propaganda apparatus which pushes gay filth, cynicism and snark into out homes while at the same time papering over the truth that homosexual culture is shockingly promiscuous, soaked with drugs, and disease ridden. By creating a favored social class that you aren't allowed to criticize. Enough. Is. Enough.

So are you saying that sexual relations between gay people is morally wrong?

[–]lakeekaquandra 0 ポイント1 ポイント

marriage has never been centered around children. and I would rather have a government that was fair and just and allowed everyone to marry than one who decided what was morally right. we don't live in a theocracy. we have a strict separation of church and state for a reason. and besides the government should not be in the business of marriage or what consenting adults do in their private lives. I don't think gays aren't allowed to be criticized. if you look at the history of the world you will have seen that gays have always been criticized. from the days of Ancient Rome and Greece to hitler's nazi Germany you see this. it is only recently that people have decided to treat gays like people. saying that they're the new social class that can't be criticized while ignoring their history is like saying Jews don't deserve any sympathy after the holocaust or the shit they had to deal with

Marriage has never been centered around children. FAMILIES are. But marriage? No. Marriage is about two people.

Other than that, I disagree with everything you've said. What is gay filth?! And are you stating that cynicism and snark are new phenomenons? You sound like old people when the Simpsons first came out.

[–]bluefootedpig 1 ポイント2 ポイント

even if it is centered around children, a study just came out that gay parents are actually BETTER parents. So how is it destroying families / children if the children are doing better?

"Marriage has never been centered around children" lol this nigga...

Marriage has never been centered around children. FAMILIES are. But marriage? No. Marriage is about two people.

Then why can't a brother and sister get married?

[–]JohnnyDollarPaleoconservative 0 ポイント1 ポイント

The reality is the same reason it was illegal for gay people to marry. People found it "gross."

[–]blatherskiterReagan Conservative -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

So you want incest marriages.

I'm having a hard time seeing where I even inferred that. Please quote it for me so I can see how you got thrown off.

A very vocal minority.

[–]propshaftRadical Redneck[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

A minority that now resides in safety because it is a useful tool for the left.

When it ceases to be so there will be a bounty on its head and they will be wishing to hell they had not been so vocal.

[–]freestinkers2 -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

Squeaky wheels! To bad most republicans have full time jobs and work many hours of OT. Somebody has to pay the bills amirite? Should the RNC get into paid protesters as well? Where the hell has Cindy Sheehan been lately? Code pink? ect..

[–]sweatytacos 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Why do conservatives care what adults do together? They're not harming you.

[–]propshaftRadical Redneck[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Oh, and just who do you think gets stuck with the tax burden they leave behind when they have their homo marriage and get the benefits from it ?

And just who crashed whos party anyway ?

Here we have a very small minority trashing centuries of tradition with their sexual preference ideology, and in doing so opened the gates for other sexual perversions to do likewise.

[–]lakeekaquandra 2 ポイント3 ポイント

homosexuality has existed for as long as people have existed. it's not some new trend that just popped up.

[–]propshaftRadical Redneck[S] -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

And yet it is still a very very small minority yet today.

You seem to have a tough time accepting that fact dont ya.

[–]lakeekaquandra 1 ポイント2 ポイント

just because they're a minority doesn't mean they should have their rights trampled. if that were the case women wouldn't be allowed to vote, blacks would be slaves and The Irish would still be universally hated.

[–]propshaftRadical Redneck[S] -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Never once have I said that gays or anyone should have their rights trampled.

They seem to have a hell of a time giving the same respect to others however.

You dont make friends by trashing their customs, beliefs, or demanding they either like you or you will call them a bigot.

You make friends by becoming part of the community or group and blending in and showing your strong points that make you an asset to their lives.

[–]lakeekaquandra 1 ポイント2 ポイント

they aren't trampling anyone's rights. they're just asking to be treated as equals. so gays can get equal rights by becoming heterosexuals? your argument doesn't make sense. gays aren't trampling anyone's rights. it seems you are angry that you can't use the word "faggot" as an insult. in that case you are the real victim.

btw saying: You dont make friends by trashing their customs, beliefs, or demanding they either like you or you will call them a bigot.

You make friends by becoming part of the community or group and blending in and showing your strong points that make you an asset to their lives.

is the exact argument many white conservatives made in favor of slavery and later against the civil rights movement. the only way for minorities and fringe groups get equality is to rock the boat. gays getting married will have no impact on your life so stop making it a bigger deal than it needs to be.

[–]chabanaisFortis est veritas -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Everyone should be treated the same under the law. If the State is going to be in the marriage business, that includes marriage. That also means not treating one race or sex better than another, etc...

[–]lakeekaquandra 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I totally agree. Which is why gays should be allowed to get married. If you honestly think gays are getting preferential treatment then you should do a quick study on how gays have been treated in the world. I think it's alright we let them marry after centuries of abuse.

[–]chabanaisFortis est veritas -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

Which is why gays should be allowed to get married.

The State should get out of the "marriage" business. If two adults want to sign a legal contract, that's fine. Medical decisions, legal rights, etc...

If you honestly think gays are getting preferential treatment then you should do a quick study on how gays have been treated in the world.

The "rest of the world" is irrelevant. Many minority groups do get "special treatment" that is simply a fact. It should end. As I said, the law applies equally to everyone. Period.

[–]sweatytacos 0 ポイント1 ポイント

What tax burden? It was also tradition to enslave humans (look in that fictional book you're praising, New Testament encourages slavery) Why is your definition of marriage the universal code? Who cares if gays can marry? I'll marry a horse how does it affect you?

[–]propshaftRadical Redneck[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

If you get a tax deduction for your horse who do you think makes up for it.

You can damn well bet the fascist lefties sure as hell will never give a single white guy a tax break unless he is kissing their ass, and it'll be a cold day in hell before that ever happens here.

So only homosexual and anti religious leftist ideology is tolerable, you only have roughly 3/4 of the worlds population or better thinking your full of shit.

[–]4centAnt 3 ポイント4 ポイント

How does a man marrying a man instead of a woman increase the tax burden? It's an adult marrying another adult. Their gender has no bearing on the tax burden.

[–]sweatytacos 1 ポイント2 ポイント

why does anyone get a tax break? Why not a flat income tax percentage? Everyone pays the same regardless. I'm more conservative than you. You only believe in economic conssrvatososm

[–]blatherskiterReagan Conservative -1 ポイント0 ポイント

What does this have to do with the article?

[–]4centAnt 2 ポイント3 ポイント

What does OP's title have to do with the article?

[–]sweatytacos 2 ポイント3 ポイント

If I'm not mistaken, the article is talking about gays lesbians and bis and op said they are destroying their morality and tradition. Why are they? Who cares? It's their life, they're not harming anyone
