Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage
The excessive protest, good Ake, comes from your own posts.

You protest offering civil equality to a group of people, and jump to every corner scraping for rationale to defend this essentially bigoted position.

The reproductive value of heterosexuality is certainly a survival trait, GfS, no question about it. However, law is not a matter of survival of the fittest, and if it becomes so, you will be among the early losers. The law is inspired by a sense of justice, a trait which also exists in nature, but is generally subordinated by tooth-and-claw destruction of tohers for the sake of one's own survival. Under a code of justice, however, destroying others for the sake of one's own betterment is generally outside the pale except in extreme exteuating circumstances. All your sarcastic labels add up to a fish's fart against the power of a simple fact: that we hold that all men are created equal. Regardless of their religion, sexual orientation, skin color or gender.

Why don't you let that notion sink in a bit before you wave your arms any more?
