Good for them. I agree it is a good strategy for gay activists to distance themselves from other sexual minorities, but I do hope those other sexual minorities get some coattail rights should gays ever be successful. Any defeat for Team Jesus is a good thing. A society of open sexuality sounds good ...

How was riding in the rear two cars of a train (where whites were not permitted) restricting the liberty of blacks (or whites). They both got to the same place at the same time. Same with the buses - riding in the back for blacks - no big deal, right? Same with water fountains, bathrooms, hotel room...

Laws that limit your freedom are there to protect the freedoms of your fellow citizens, and here's the thing, gays and abortions (and how the hell do you idiots get that in one topic?) don't impinge on your freedoms, other than the freedom to be a bible thumping bigot. They got it in one topic beca...

And so, in the dar hierarchy of values, what holds the top rung of importance if not life? It varies. It varies for you as well, if you are being honest. In some cases money is more important than human life. In the case we are talking about, liberty is more important than human life. I'll use mone...

That's why the Religous Right always falls back to those straw man arguments. Of course abortion should not be used as a means of contraception (something, mind you, that is definitionally impossible - excepting one case from Christian mythology).

I disagree with Lohrno's answer to your question. The reason you can't kill my mother is because it infringes upon her liberty. That is enough. The same sentiment is extended by many to an unborn child. The contention again would be the disputed starting point of where life begins. Once again, it i...

I feel all drugs should be legal to consume, manufacture and sell.

Don't get me wrong, bigotry is not limited to the Republicans though, but so many campaign on it that I think it's fair to associate them with doing it. I certainly agree with that.

Lohrno, Adex is not asking merely for freedom of speach. He is asking that his bigotted posstions on gays be accepted as a mere political difference. He fully has my support when it comes to his right to critisize gays for being gay. He did not ask for that, however, he asked for me to respect his p...

The laws we are debating have no relation to homosexual acts. They relate exclusively to homosexuals.
