Justice Kennedy needs a reminder about his own fear of harm from gay marriage

[Sitamun]

It depends. I don't care to view PDA's for ANY couple. It's when you pick and choose those displays which offend you (based on sexuality) is when the bigotry label comes into play.

I'm the same way. I don't mind hand holding or the simple kisses etc. However, I don't need to see tongue hockey while trying to eat or hold a conversation.

OK :think:

I would agree that any couple should refrain from very open displays.....

But the point is gay marriage - and Justice Kennedy ignoring his former valid concerns, and Americans not asking themselves how they can support gay marriage when gay public displays bother them. :think:

Sure. That pretty much applies to anybody--time and a place for everything.

I don't
but
will never ever accept two guys doing it

it is repulsive

Well, that was more or less the point. Many people do. Research shows that Americans who support gay marriage still find the gay affection offensive. Isn't that a red flag? :think:

Many people that support hetero marriage still find hetero affection offensive. Isn't that a red flag?

Never heard of this. Who finds hetero contact offensive?

 

[TracerBullet]

I won't

I will continue to say

the purpose of marriage
is
to protect the child

what about the children of same gendered couples? or don't they matter?

 

[TracerBullet]

Not trying to make excuses, but assuming others know what you know is part of the Aspberger theory of mind. My bad, bro. lain:

*still think it's a legitimate question , though: The very people who've made the public polls rise in favor of gay marriage are still put off by PDA. Is it merely bigotry? I have taught Philosophy at the university level, so my Aspberger does not preclude intelligent thinking.

I'm sure that in 1968 the same sentiment was made about interracial marriage

 

[chrysostom]

what about the children of same gendered couples?

not possible

 

[GFR7]

what about the children of same gendered couples? or don't they matter?

They matter. The question is, how did they come to be?

 

[TracerBullet]

not possible

and yet there are millions of them.

So you are saying that you only want SOME children to be protected and there are many children that you just don't care about.

 

[TracerBullet]

They matter. The question is, how did they come to be?

your question says that they don't really matter

 

[Granite]

what about the children of same gendered couples? or don't they matter?

Ultimately they either don't matter, or they're second rate, or they "deserve" to be ripped away from their parents. For people who claim to be "pro-family" the bigots see very little harm in potentially destroying families they don't care for.

 

[chrysostom]

not so

there are not enough of them to draw any conclusions
except
why would you do that to a child?

 

[Rusha]

That certainly isn't a "pro-life" response ...

Hint: It DOESN'T MATTER how they came to be. They are children and are here.

You have no issue with two people making out 5 feet from you while you try to eat, or doing any other number of things?

 

[TracerBullet]

not so

there are not enough of them to draw any conclusions
except
why would you do that to a child?

why would you pretend they don't exist?
