I believe I expressly stated those with an inclination to kill are of greater social benefit and utility than homosexuals, if directed properly. Killing is something society needs for various reasons. Same sex is not something society needs for any reason (you may want to argue it has a use for torture and punishment through rape, such as in prison. But this is effectuated by heteros in prison or inanimate objects).
Anima, you remind me of Col. Jessup from A Few Good Men, or even Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective, if you'll excuse my enormous reach to grab an obscurity like that to craft the simile.
What I mean to say is: When this thread started I enjoyed reading what you had to say, though I disagreed (vehemently) with it. We argued legal points on an intellectual level. You were a respectable debater.
But when the opposition started to increase, and more people started challenging you, and - especially, it seems - when the Supreme Court made it's Obergefell ruling, the veneer started to crack, and the niceties and politeness you observed disappeared under pressure.
It was never about the legal arguments. You just plain don't like gay people, and you decided to use whatever tools you had at your disposal - in this case, legal tools (by virtue of your education) - to try to advance these views in a way that wouldn't be immediately dismissed. For a while, you succeeded, but you couldn't keep it up forever.
Well, I can't either. I'm going to read what you wrote above one more time, to make sure I've given you every benefit of the doubt, and then I'm going to go vomit.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
