Well, can I at least have my source, then, since I provided a source for my claim that people in same-sex relationships are being discriminated against?

I dont believe it to be discrimination on a level that would be considered discrimination.(by most people and by comparrison to certain laws)

I agree that she didn't show herself in a good light. It also proves that she either doesn't know what she is talking about or have the guts to back up her claims with reasons or thoughtful ideas.

Gay rights block out other issues from the public which hurt their cause.It sets them back.Is that right.


I really can't come up with words or images to describe exactly how bad of an argument you've been making. Suffice to say, your posts are bad and you should feel bad!

I apologise for that, actually. I misread your comment, which is very similar to things said by various anti-gay groups (aka that homosexuality is a mental illness), but I'd posted before I realised my mistake. I'd have edited it out, but the way the thread's moving it wouldn't have done any good.

In any case, I'm still waiting on that source. Actually, two sources, now, since Grave_n_idle provided a source to prove that the state can marry someone as opposed to the church.

Still waiting on the person who made the claim to provide a source.


Sources have been provided. Move on, or it's just trolling.

Who gets to decide which form of discrimination is more important? How long would it take to force something else up onto the agenda to the extent that it could be at the forefront of politics? No, let's continue dealing with items of discrimination that we've managed to get onto the agenda and seek to gradually improve society as we always have, rather than unrealistically demanding that everything get sorted at once or storming out screaming that we won't play no more.

I disagree.
Gay activists have been at it for a very long time with little to no progress each year.
There are real people feeling physical pain because of some discrimination.

Gays are real people feeling pain, both physical and mental, from discrimination.

Yeah, we should be focusing on real people as opposed to homosexuals, who aren't real people. Or people at all. Does this mean it's ok to eat them?

If they are proven to be mentally incapable to make important decisions, most sane people would not want them deciding wheather or not to pull the trigger in there direction

I'm eagerly waiting to see the analogy that's going to be made between this and forbidding gays to marry.

It's not discrimination because there's no prejudice.

That, again, is not a source. That's an opinion.
And, again, a very dumb one at that.

The mentally ill can't have guns for a reason; Guns are dangerous.
Gays can't marry for no reason whatsoever.

One is a safety issue, the other is discrimination.

How it is decided is how they are being discriminated against.
They get their hands on weapons and guns anyways.
Should I explain how this discrimination contributes to people developing more severe mental illnesses.
