Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
Akenaton, the reason your opinion is germane to this debate is because all the "logical" points you've made don't add up, as you have been told many times. You haven't offered any defense of these points, or any reasons for saying things that don't make any sense, despite repeated requests for you to do so. We are left to assume that you are casting about for some reason that gay marriage shouldn't exist that isn't just your opinion. Your dislike of something is not a good basis for the making of laws. Another point you've made is that gay marriage is offensive to religious folks, which is also a terrible reason -- and in the U.S. at least, an unconstitutional one -- for the making of laws.

When it comes right down to it, the only reason gay marriage is still mostly illegal is because of the opinions of a whole bunch of folks. You're just the one espousing that opinion who happens to be in front of us right now.

Little Hawk, on the definition of bigot: Ho hum, been there, done that. If you wanted to make that point again, you should have done so as a rebuttal to the rebuttals that were made after the first time you defined it, up-thread a ways. Do you have anything new or real to offer?
