"Blind Lemming." Wasn't he a blues singer from days gone by?

I find GfS's last post really kind of pitiful. His/her efforts to write off all the scientific evidence that has been cited here as presented by "a frothing band of mob mentality" and a "flock of babbling parrots" is pathetic. Simply asserting that the evidence that yanks the rug out from under his/her position is merely propaganda from scientists who have been bought off by "the gay lobby," without ever trying to substantiate that claim, is in the ream of the message T-shirt and the bumper sticker—a flat assertion with no substantiation whatever. It's like screaming and stamping one's feet.

It reminds me of the woman from the Flat Earth Society who got into an argument with a young astronomer. When asked what her flat earth rests on, she responded, "on the back of a huge turtle." To which, the young astronomer started to ask, "And what does the turtle rest on?" when she interrupted him, saying, "That's no good, young man! It's turtles all the way down!" then turned on her heel and stalked away.

Amos is right. It is a civil rights issue. A matter of discrimination against a minority.

And what are people who insist on doing that generally called?

P. S. And just a little reminder:   neither GfS nor Ake has answered my question as to how same-sex marriage adversely affects Barbara's and my marriage. Or affects it in any way whatsoever.
