A real libertarian (e.g not what America defines it as) would be for gay marriage.

Paul isn't a libertarian even by the American definition. But this thread is not about Paul, can we please not have it devolve into a discussion of him like every other damn thread?

At least, in my experience at least.

How in anyway is what I said threatening? The fact that I classify it as a crime? Is it not a crime for people to steal? Well, this should be considered another form of stealing.

So are you asking if we are for homosexuality in general or the actual "rights" movement?

Am I allowed to be indifferent? If you want to be gay or if you think that you were born gay, more power to you. Just as long as you don't flaunt it and don't get in my bubble we're cool.

Although I agree with a less extreme version of your argument, attacking your opponent doesn't convince them to agree with you. If you want to make someone pro-gay, Calmly state it in a non-threatening manner

let's face it, shouting at people DOESNT WORK

Let's compare people like Pinella to people like Torre. Who seems to win the most arguments with the ump
