Quote:Mehmet for one second think if it was the other way around and heterosexuality was the minority and homosexuality was the 'norm'?Such hypothetical cases could of course be visualized if I'd think hard enough, but empathy is a really hard thing to do in this case. Hmmm..what would I do if it was me who would not be able to marry. Well, if there was a case in which the homosexuals were a majority, there would not be anything that could be considered close to the definition of marriage.
Quote:How would you feel if your friend who were 'normal' were getting married and having family and were able to visit loved ones who were dying on there death bed and were able to make decisions for them if they were unable to and have all the other benefits that marriages allows them, then there you with your opposite sex partner unable to do any of that.
Friend, I certainly would not remain for too long in a land like that. I'd sooner or later realize that it's destined to crumble in a very short time.
As I said, when you think "opposite" you realize that such a society cannot ever be put into use, and is therefore irrelevant when it comes to empathy.
Quote:That means if you were in a hospital dying, you would die alone because the state will not allow opposite sex partner to be with you dying, or able to receive your half off the propertiy when you split even thought you have put just as much money into that house as they have, you would never feel the joy of a wedding and a honeymoon then all your friends can, or even not being allowed to make the decisions for your partner if there in a coma or can not properly communicate.As I said, such things can be given in a seperate existence than marriage.
Quote:How would you feel if the rights your automatic granted because your heterosexual were take from you because of your sexual orientation and a single bill did that or that the marriage you have in one state is not valid in another because of the gender you fuck.Well, this is the federal state of ways. You can always install a centralized form of government if you want to.
Quote:When did American change from 'everybody is welcome and everybody is equal and has equal rights' to 'Everybody is welcome and everybody is equal and has equal rights except for F*aggots and L*sbos and Atheists'I think that the American dream was never "everyone is welcome and everyone is equal" to begin with. The American dream is to accumulate as much wealth as possible and to live according to it. It's the generic cosmopolitan ideology. Even in that state, customs and traditions exist. People know they do. And some try to preserve them.
