Can you actually be that inane?

Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary
Main Entry: pe·do·phil·ia
Pronunciation: "pEd-&-'fil-E-&, "ped-
Variant: or chiefly British pae·do·phil·ia /"pEd-/
Function: noun
sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object

ho⋅mo⋅sex⋅u⋅al⋅i⋅ty [hoh-muh-sek-shoo-al-i-tee]
Function: noun
sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person or persons of one's own sex.


It is absolutely the height of ignorance to compare gays and lesbians to child molesters.

Oh, sorry. Forgot who I was talking to.

I see your point, but they had seen hetero's kiss and it was not the same reaction. They know, its not a mystery to them.

Well while that certainly could have been part of it, the advertisers pulled the plug on any more ads, after the kiss.

What are gay choices? If they include having relationships with people of the same sex, then yes, I think they are normal in that there is nothing wrong with them. They are not fully accepted in our society, but that has no relevance to me. That shouldn't deter anyone.
Not fully accepted nor partially accepted, tolerated yes... accepted... don't see it happening, and i think prop 8 proved that.
Really i thought what a waste of time, pushing a anti gay marriage prop. in California... i figured that liberal state to have bought into gay is okay, long ago. But fortunately i was wrong... at least for now.

Quote:
I feel sorry for those people. And I feel sorry for people who are so oblivious to reality that they think gay/bisexual/pansexual/what-have-you individuals must have been abused and/or have severe emotional problems. It's sad that you've convinced yourself of that only to justify your viewpoints.
It's been studied to death, and i've yet to see a case where there wasn't some trigger or excuse for gay behavior. I don't need to justify, its all there for the world to see, and i don't cheer the suffering, i have empathy and hope.

See that wasn't so hard now was it. You found the definition and can accept it or not. The choice is yours.

That is surprising for such a liberal state... but I do have to agree, you and the government SHOULD NOT regulate people's lives... gay/lesbian/whatever have a right to marry if they want and it is none of the government's business or anyone elses... unless they infringe on your rights (and they do not), everyone should stick their nose somewhere else... I don't understand why people care so much about what other people do with their lives... its THEIR LIVES and none of your concern... you don't want me to dictate what you eat, where you work, or what you watch on TV, why do you think anyone should be able to dictate who someone is able to have sex with... or even marry.. maybe only rich people should marry rich people? Maybe only virgins should marry virgins? Maybe left-handed people should only marry left-handed people... stay out of their business... cause it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS...

It might not. But that is not the issue NOW; the issue now is Gay marriage. There is no logical reason to ban it.

Heck add in a goat, a sheep and a mule and you'll have a real down home event.

Because that's not what the debate is about. The question is: Do we each, as Californians, have a right to marry the individual of our choice?

And don't veer off into comments about marrying your brother or sister because, again, that's not what this is about.

I agree kele. In fact, it's pretty clear that child molestors are not child molestors.

edited to say what I meant.
