Harmed by Gay Marriage?
The only people harmed by gay marriage are the people that take it upon themselves to stick their nose in same-sex couple's business.
John Green, a Youtuber, has a video debunking some Gay Marriage myths. You guys should Google that.

We keep having these threads because some people still think that gay marriage shouldn't be legal.

Which is a problem.

I don't give a damn whether or not you have different opinions.

I give a damn about you (General You) putting your opinions into law.

Get the difference?

It's not that they have different opinions, it's that they're trying to enforce bigotry onto people.

It's not just a different opinion; it's denying a group's rights. That's the problem.

So start a thread on something else. You are the thread you want to see in the world.

What's a party got to do with it? A philosophy like libertarianism is supposedly for fewer restrictions, yet so often people espousing the philosophy want to restrict the rights of others.

You can have a different opinion. What you cannot do is deny people rights just because you're a bigot.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

I dont understand what I did to get banned. I was simply staing my most honest opinions, and view points. I may seem to you as a bigot, a horrible person. But the reason behind my argument is that I care about the gays. I dont want them to get hurt. But I dont want the government breating down my neck with anti discrimination laws either. I only want gays to be safe from discrimination, thats all. As a human being I am inclined to care about others which I do. I respect gays as living breathing human beings with feelings, and hearts. I wouldnt want to see them get hurt. I hate homosexualism not homosexuals. I dont like the idea of two of the same sex in a relationship, but I still respect the homosexuals as human beings. I hate communism, but not communist. For its the idea I despise, not the people behind it. So my theory is that to respect peoples freedom to free speech in free countries though I appose it some instances, I am not willing to give it up whlie I still have it, and to ensure this freedom for non violent anti gay activist. If you were gay I wouldnt hate you, I would respect you, but that dosent mean I have to like the idea of two men or two women being in a relationship together. If your an athiest you dont attack theist do you? No you dont. You disagree with the notion of a higher intelligence, but you still can respect christians, jews, muslims, buddist, hinduist, etc.
