"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

[RoadRunner79]

I admit, I made up the thing about toasters, so I’m guessing it’s probably a low percentage of the population that seeks that level of toaster commitment.  But nothing surprises me anymore. And this has nothing to do with what you imagine as bigotry.  The question is why do you find it idiotic?  Do you find the arguments bad, or are you just a hateful bigot when it comes to toasty appliances. Doesn’t everyone deserve equal rights?

You do not see the faulty logic in comparing a human-appliance relationship with a human-human relationship?

I could see where one might claim there is a category error there; if they are a knuckle dragging regressive.  For progressives however; we just re-define the term, in the name of equality.  If it's not equal, then you must be discriminating and therefore hateful.    Equal protection under the law apparently means this.  Also, we should probably talk about participation trophies for everyone who attends the ceremony.  

It is as absurd as thinking that legalizing human-human homosexual marriage will lead to the legalization of a human-goat marriage.

We probably haven't "progressed" to that point yet.  But perhaps one day they will be viewed as the same.  You probably just feel this way, because you find human-goat marriage icky!  Just because they are not the same, doesn't mean that they are not equal.
