Interesting Question: Can You Be A Strong Conservative And Support Gay Marriage?

[Legion]

All of your Trump comrades that "thumbs up" racist comments because it gives them the warm and fuzzies -- you tend to ignore them

Can you cite some examples?

Separate but equal is so 60 years ago

Then why isn't krudzu here telling the forum what she was allegedly doing in the Sixties?

I don't think polygamists should be discriminated against either -- if polygamists were smart, most of them should stop being so anti-gay themselves and build a coalition -- especially if in polygamist relationships, all participants are adults and can give consent.

We tried to tell you polygamists would be next lol.

So I guess you are selective with your freedom of religious expression -- if you are using that expression to deny something to gays or the "others" -- then that is just being a good Christian --- if you are using that expression in a way that doesn't hurt anyone else, like 3 women agreeing to marry one man -- then we gotta stop that or else man will marry a horse

It's almost comically backwards to think that ALLOWING gay marriage is "tyranny."

It’s tyranny in the sense we weren’t allowed to vote on how the government treated a societal institution.

The legislative branch was created for that sort of thing. Civics is your friend lol.

Equality under the law is a judicial concept.

The same arguments that are made today to prevent gay marriage were made 50 years ago for interracial marriage.

Thingy and those that believe like him know they'd lose in the legislative arena. That's why they go judge shopping. It's much easier to find a few judges willing to play legislator than it is to go about it in the manner in which it should go.

The arguments that those pushing for same sex marriage are the same ones they refuse to apply when it comes to marriages they don't think should take place.

Again - many heterosexuals who marry CANNOT procreate. So, it is not a question if they "can." Many simply cannot, whether because of health, age, handicap, etc.

What do you say to those marriages if what matters is that they "can"? I am not lying about anything. Many cannot, and that is fact. Answer the question - should their marriages be restricted?

There's a difference between a couple being unable to procreate because of reasons they can't control (i.e. - medical, age) and being unable to procreate because they have the same parts.

No it isn’t.

Interracial marriage didn’t meddle with what a marriage is: a union between a man and a woman.

Actually has nothing to do with religion.

There are several good secular reasons not to meddle with marriage.

Could you give some examples of a non religious reason not to meddle with marriage?

Sure lol.

The welfare of children and of society as a whole are two.

What do they have to do with religion?

Human rights should never be subject to the popular vote. [It's called, tyranny of the majority for a reason.]

But it's a given that slavery and racial discrimination would still be the law of the land if the decision were based purely on the popular vote. Women wouldn't be able to vote.

For that matter, at the time the US Supreme Court struck down the laws against interracial marriages, less than 20% of the US public believed they should be legal.
