Beckys_Mom Posted April 24, 2009 #176 Share Posted April 24, 2009 She didn't choose to voice her opinion there she was asked to do so. When she was asked th question.....she chose to answer it..........I am sure they briefed the contestants before the contest took place to give a heads up what kind of questions will be asked..........so I think she had a fair idea, she would be asked that kind of question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siara Posted April 24, 2009 #178 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) But your tossing this blanket over "gay rights", like they (homosexuals) need an exclusive set of rights and protections, when the reality is that they don't. Our civil rights laws cover rights of people in general pretty well. Actually, eggumby, they don't. Here's an example: One woman in this couple I know is a professor at A Prestigious Ivy League School. Her partner had been raped and, as a result, had a son. The couple got together when the kid was 1 yr. old. The relationship was a "take" and they were still together when the kid was choosing a college. One of the perks at the university was that your kids (including adopted kids) got free tuition at the professor's school if those kids qualified academically. Since this was a gay couple they couldn't get married, the kid they'd raised together for 17 years couldn't get the tuition break (a $250,000 rip off). Gay couples don't benefit from the tax breaks that we hetero couples have. If a gay person dies intestate, the blood relatives have total control of his/her estate and can pretend the gay relationship never existed. Gay couples can't have their partners included in their corporate health insurance. Some places have zoning codes which limit the number of unrelated people who can live together in one household. Hetero couples are related, same sex couples are not related. The list goes on and on. Gay people get really badly screwed in all sorts of ways because their relationships don't conform to other people's religious standards. That's unjust.

I know about the above stuff, and that's why I agree the laws need to be changed, but NOT to protect one group, rather to include all people, regardless of this stuff.

The Silver Thong Posted April 24, 2009 #185 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) no your right you didn't call her a bigot. You said that since she disagrees with gay marriage she discrimates against gays. That is impling that she is a bigot against gays. Or as you put it anti-gay In a round about way she kinda does. She may not agree with gay marriage and that doesn't nessisarlly mean she's against gays personaly just against gays having the right to marry legally. As I said it is a round about way of discriminating, but hey she has every right to say so and she did. I say good on her for doing that but if she wanted to win she should have curbed her answer a little.

If a man and a woman live as husband and wife for a certian length of time They are considered married. I guess this could be extended to same sex couples. However men and women in these types of unions don't have any more rights than the same sex couples do. Unless they adopt each other's kids and other such things. If however if you make it where no one can say no I won't marry them with a consitutional amendment. It wouldn't be long before all church's would be forced to do such marriages. So much for religious rights. Edited April 24, 2009 by danielost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastaman Posted April 24, 2009 #197 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Such a shame that nowadays its a crime to express your honest opinion if that opinion is not a popular or even sensible one. We run the risk of having a society full of liars......false people who hide their true feelings for the sake of being liked and accepted. Tis sad. Talk about it. Gays had to hide in the closet in the U.S. for centuries mostly because the christians always said God does not approve of homosexuality and that it is a shameful sin.

Rastaman Posted April 24, 2009 #199 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Gays have civil rights...equal rights..... WRONG. In most of the USA it's perfectly legal to evict someone from a rental apartment, and so on purely on the grounds of homosexuality. The person thus terminated or evicted has not been the victim of any crime and therefore has no legal remedy available. In 13 states of the United States it is legally acceptable to fire a transgendered person from a job. And of course, in 46 states it is 100% illegal for Homosexuals to be married. And then people in this thread are whining and crying about gays "being everywhere shoving their agenda down people's throats" I wonder if during the Martin Luther King era the same type of people we see in this thread were saying blacks were shoving their agenda down their throats by boycotting & having sit-ins at diners until they were served. You people make me absolutely sick. Grow the hell up its 2009 its so pathetic that some people in the supposed "free world" are supporting anti-gay beliefs. And yes, this includes not approving of gay marriage. Ill say it again, its absolutely pathetic. Edited April 24, 2009 by Rastaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
