Gay Rights? What do you think.

Postby Vanzef » Sun Mar 28, 2010 8:51 am

Some people are just butt hurt (no pun intended) that they can't oppress the "different" people anymore.

So if straight people don't leave you alone you wont have problems?

Isn't the problem just the same for both straight and gay people?

Yup. Gays aren't killing the sanctity of marriage. Henry VIII did that well enough on his own.

What exactly are 'gay rights'? Some special set of rights 'gays' get but others don't?

I think there's only one kind of 'rights': 'human rights'.



^^ This, the perfect case of this speical rights,two homosexals can get domestic partners rights,however two heteros may not, rights must be equal across the board or its BS.

A problem different from that you would have if a straight person starts pestering you?


I have had flamboyant gay try to come onto me and not leave me alone. This has also continued after classes and over days. This gets to be very annoying. I have never had a straight girl hit on me for that long after i have told her to stop.

I am sorry to say this, but some aspects of homosexuality are genetic, if not completely, as all behaviours have a genetic basis.
I am not being biased against them either, I am both gay and a far left socialist.

I just read the literature as a genetics student..

What a coincidence, a straight girl was hitting on me, but I didn't tell her to stop because it was hot. At least I assume she was straight.

I know to all three points, but some people will try to equate a difference in genetics no matter how insignificant to be enough to do all kinds of things.

That and I was being sarcastic.

They should be treated as humans, but I am against the marriage & adoption thing, both because of religion. Adoption, though, I'm a no-no on that one, because it sways the child(ren) in a certain direction, and kids shouldn't be forced to accept anything (including religion, so that I don't get heated for that).

Should they be in the military? Well, some already are, but no one knows that, because if I recall correctly, they have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. As long as your trap's shut, it's cool with them.
There is no place in this world where someone like me can truly be happy. But that's okay; there's always another day, and always another person to love.
98% of all internet users would cry if Facebook would break down, if you are part of that 2% who simply would sit back and laugh then copy and paste this into your sig.

One day, Love sees Friendship walking by.
"What are you doing here?" Love asks.
"Don't you see? To wipe away the tears you've caused," Friendship replies, and walks off.

Christians are just weird and screwy. Just plain weird and odd.
White people are just weird and screwy. Just plain weird and odd.
