I agree. If they just think "I hate gays" but then serve them just like anyone else, then they're not being a bigot imo.

Yes, I'm not so much concerned with peoples thoughts, I'm more concerned with their actions.

The reason why terms like "bigot" and "racist" are used so much is because there are so damn many bigots and racists.  People are prejudiced about all sorts of things, including race, ethnicity, age, height, sex, sexual orientation, weight, class, beauty, etc.  There are plenty of studies showing that prejudice on these things is not only a matter of what people believe, but affects what people do (like hiring for a job, for example).  Beliefs affect actions, and actions affect others.  So your beliefs matter for other people.

People will likely stop using the terms "bigot" and "racist" when other people stop being bigoted and racist.  Or in other words, not in your lifetime, if ever.  So you should get used to hearing the terms with some frequency.

Our country has now been officially overrun with gays. I don't know where they were all hiding, but they've been appearing everywhere since this decision, ripping everyone to pieces with superhuman strength and drinking their blood. They... oh. It's OK, they're just vampires.

Probably gay vampires.

I have a question. Why must a relationship be only among the consenting (legal)? We know many young people, even children engage with each other sexually, with some becoming pregnant in the process) but why only legal consenting? True, the issue of maturity can be argued however, many of those who engaged in sex at a young age (such as primary, middle and in high school) would say that it was their full right to do so and feel that it was their right to decide the issue of their own body. Many have no regrets and many want to start having children at a young age, (also forgo any argument to economic because not all have children)

hell, like many have argued sex is the most natural act of humans that has been done the dawn of our existences, regardless of ones education, race, religion, nation, ect.
Why should such a natural act have any restrictions to it?


is it not natural to become desirable to become another, attracted to another, become aroused?

Why trying to stop or hinder such a natural effect/reaction that individuals just do?

So you're against gay marriage, but you want it to be legal to have sex with children?

Said nothing of gay marriage and have not given my personal point of view at any time about the issue. And children are already having sex. And not all are little kids, many are preteen and teenagers. In many states, with parent consent a teen can marry as young as 14. And if the argument to sexual action by many is that it is natural.
Let's face it sex is happening amount the youth regardless if agree or dis agree with it.

Uhm...

You've been debating against gay marriage for pages. But now you're not against it?

Are you talking about lowering the age of consent to 14, is that it? I don't know what you're driving at I'm afraid.

Yes, I'm sure sex between children does happen. But I don't think we should be encouraging it. And sex between children is quite different from sex between a child and an adult.
