Thread Name: BS: About Same-Sex Marriage
Subject: RE: BS: About Same-Sex Marriage
Bobjack, you wrote: "Ugh, ugh, yuk! Sorry, but I hope I never have to go a "gay" wedding. What's next? Is there any perversion you lot would not grow to eventually accept if the politically correct media pushed for it?"

Every gay person I know just wants to be left alone to live their lives. They can't do that, however, because perverts like you and Akenaton want to stick your noses into who they sleep with. Jeez, man, get your mind out of the gutter and stop worrying about other peoples' sex lives.

Why do you care if other people want to do things you consider perverted? In what way, exactly, does homosexuality have any effect on you or me? Can you really not see the difference between consenting adults minding their own business and "any perversion"? The ethical situation changes as soon as people make choices that effect other people: murder, theft, sex with children, slavery, and so forth, all hurt others. Are these the kind of perversions you're afraid we're going to embrace?

I'll ask you the same question I asked Cruiser earlier: If you think it's all right for you to talk about other peoples' sex lives, is it also OK for us to talk about yours? If not, how is this not hypocrisy on your part? Or is it just cowardice and bullying? Can you understand the raw selfishness of reserving legal rights to yoursef that you would deny to others?

On the subject of the PC media: I keep hearing people who are referred to as conservatives saying the media is left leaning. Many of us on the left, however, think most of the media is hopelessly conservative. Which probably means it's more or less in the middle, where it should be.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Obviously, you will never have to go to a gay wedding. Given that, why are you concerned about whether or not they take place?
