Unfortunately for your stats you do not have to be gay to support gay marriage. It's not an us vs them situation.

What a silly thing to say.
 
I see more people getting upset by the Iwo Jima/Rainbow Flag picture. That's the most salt I've seen. It's odd, because that's such an iconic image that it's been spoofed, parodied, and altered in a thousand different ways. Yet the "I'm not a homophobe, but..." group of my friends only seem to be upset about this one specific instance.

He also seems to be forgetting that there are plenty of Straight people who support gay rights and gay marriage support has been in the majority for quite a few years now.

This stumps a LOT of equality opponents. I can't count how many times I've read "how can 2% of the population shove its agenda down the throats of the 98%?" in conservative comment sections. But they always forget (ignore?) the fact that gay folks have friends and family lending their considerable weight behind that little 2% number.
 
In 1960, the Black population was 10.5%. HOW DARE THOSE 10.5% NEGROS AND ACTIVIST JUDGES FORCE THE MAJORITY TO AFFIRM DESEGREGATION. STATES RIGHTS. MAJORITY RULE.

Someone needs a civics lesson.
 
holy shit I hope that senator keeps running his mouth. Dude is a complete tool, and doesn't even see anything wrong with what he's saying.. I have a hard time believing he even thought about what he typed before posting it online.
 
Christianity isn't incompatible with evolution, and it's not incompatible with homosexuality.

On the other side, homosexuality isn't incompatible with Christianity, or religion in general. There are a lot of gay Christians out there, pastors even.

Religion and spirituality has a lot in common with sexual orientation I think. Some people are just born that way. And not only is there nothing wrong with it, it's a good thing for humanity.
All of these people using religion to bash homosexuals are morons.

"They'll be gone in 40 years since they don't procreate!"

Maybe I can see someone spurting that out having not thought about it much and then immediately feeling dumb, but how does someone type this out and not realize the mistake before they click submit?

no one is born religious haha.

See how 'religiosity" varies by country.
I might agree that some people's wiring or upbringing might make them more likely to adopt religious views, but beyond that, the parallel is stupid.

Yeah I saw a lot of this and the usual "how can they support this when there are all those children around" bullshit. Motherfucker dont know Disney parks have been hosting gay pride days for years. Salty AND ignorant, a delicious combo.

Religion is an idea that means something different to everyone. For some it could be tradition and culture, while for others it could be a feeling of spirituality.

Some of the most spiritual people I've had the pleasure of meeting in my life have been gay and trans. Most of these idiots coming out of the woodwork from this judicial decision are just using religion as a vehicle for traditional conservatism. If they actually think sexual orientation determines spiritual worth they probably have never met a gay person in their life, which is unfortunately the case especially in the south where so many people are still pressured into staying in the closet.

I grew up in the south in a very conservative religious environment. Looking back, I suspect some of the intensely religious people I knew in church were homosexual.

So, a shopped picture of Obama kissing a man going around does what for their cause, exactly?

Like, does making fun of the President just make them feel better, or what? I legitimately don't understand this. I can get people refusing the licenses or trying to fight it, but...

A friend and I were buying Big Gulps at 7/11. The women behind us said, sarcastically, "congrats on being able to get married." I don't know if that counts as salt, but it pissed us off. Neither of us are gay. Idk.

edit: that she thought we were gay didn't piss us off. that she was an asshole to strangers pissed us off.
Click to expand...

Maybe she meant you and the Big Gulps. Now that the gays can get married, you can basically marry anything
 
Here's something I've been thinking about: if the objection to gay marriage is honestly and truly due to deeply held religious conviction, why is there never a stink made about those who worship other gods or no gods at all getting married? Or those who have committed any number of other so-called sins? I understand that only gay marriage is defying the definition of marriage as set forth in their set of rules, but is that particular rule so much more important than the others that they can turn a blind eye to all the others sins committed by those seeking marriage?
 
I read this article titled "3 Ways to Talk to Your Children About the Supreme Court Ruling on 'Gay Marriage"

From the article:

1. Talk to your kids about homosexuality. If you haven't explained homosexuality to your children and they are at an age where they are starting to key in to all the hype in the media (and possibly among their peer groups), now is the time. This is your opportunity to communicate what God's Word says about homosexuality.

Our kids need to hear the truth from God's Word about this lifestyle. Some key verses to start with include Leviticus 18:22, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and Romans 1:26-28. Another point you might consider making with your children is that even though the Supreme Court made the choice to legalize gay marriage, it does not mean that this was the right choice. It's an unfortunate truth we have to share with our children, but governments and rulers don't always make the right choices (shocking, I know).

2. Show your children how to show the love of Christ to gay people. We should take a lot of comfort in the fact that it's not our job to judge people. When I was in university, I took a job where my immediate superior was another student who identified himself as a homosexual.

3. Don't be intimidated. Like I mentioned earlier, there is a lot of emotional hype in the media right now concerning this decision. Don't let it take you for a ride.

I'm rolling my eyes. In the first point, the author talks about telling your children about Leviticus and Romans, texts that supposedly condemn homosexuality. Point number 2 talks about teaching your children to show the love of god to gay people. Number 3 talks about not being intimidated and sharing the truth with your kids.

There's no logical followup to each of the three points the author is making; "1) gay people are an abomination because the bible says so, 2) God still loves them and we must show them, oh and I worked with a student in university who was a homosexual!3) Don't be intimidated by the gays!" lol at number 2.

Like what... seriously, "I had/have gay friends" is the new "I have black friends but ...."

I would the case that using the bible to teach your kids about human sexuality is a really bad way to go about it. I also think it's child abuse. Have they ever considered how devastating point number one could be if their child is gay?

This is some terrible salt. I:

Yes, I remember laughing my ass off at all the comparisons of W. Bush to chimps. They were stupid pictures that made me feel better since I thought he was a colossal shitbag. However, he actually was a colossal shitbag so all the insults mounted against him were valid. People insulting Obama in petty ways like this is dumb because he is objectively awesome.

Now imagine learning sexuality from the church, while simultaneously being sexually abused by a church figure!

Fuck.
 
I guess I should've seen it coming, but I didn't. So now Obama's gay. Can we get an updated title? Barack the Islamic Shock Hussein the Rainbow Super-Allah Obama?

Lets never use the word objectively again.
 
Just saw this and figured it belong here.

Grainger County hardware store owner refuses to serve gay customers

WASHBURN, Tenn. (WVLT) -- An East Tennessee hardware store has a strong message on its front door: "No gays allowed."

Jeff Amyx, owner of Amyx Hardware and Roofing Supplies, put that message up on his store's door Monday.

He says he was fed up with all of the positive feedback following Friday's Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. He wants gay customers to know they are not welcome.

Because Obama, kissed a man, that photo is so real!!!! Obama is gay, spreading his impure agenda through the US. God is angry hurrur derpity derp. It's just a stupid photoshopped image that gives us a good reason to laugh at anyone who believes it's actually real. Especially that Oprah photoshop, lol. When I saw it the first thing I was reminded of

What the fuck...? and he doubled down in his idiocy:
"Would you let a child molester come in your home, around your kids? Of course not. So why would I let a homosexual hang around me? It's against my nature, it's against my way of life, it's against my religion," he says.

I feel like using the same argument, can't I basically say that people like him are against my way of life and my religion? so please, revoke his business license?

I hope they share the hell out of it. Maybe seeing two men kissing will influence them and question their own sexuality, you know, since being gay is a choice...

I mean you'd think they would want to avoid such imagery to avoid such temptations.

So I...I have a confession...

I am a little bit nervous about people, um...kind of hearing that I am this way, and then thinking: "Whoa, she's not welcome here." But I would say I'm different. We're all different. Most people would think I'm already weird anyway, so I don't think society's impression of me is going to change drastically based on one or two, er, discoveries that come to light after this post...it's pretty scary, y'know? You wonder: "How many people can I really, truly honestly be open with?"

I've tried to change this before, but...it's too important to me.

I...actually think marriage is between a white European man and a white European woman. I already have an idea of what marriage should be, and that will never change. At the end of the day, I think we don't need to truly be ashamed of how we really feel about things, so...I'm just being me! No one should be looked down upon. No one's views should be suppressed.

I know a lot of people who are black. I have friends who are latinos. I don't fear them, y'know? They're wonderful people, I love them! What I do feel insecure about is...speaking from the heart, and being really honest and open about what I believe. I mean, I love my friends, and several of them even happen to be Indigenous Australian.

How would it not be the case that an ever-loving creator who gave us everything we have doesn't love us? Where's that balance? Y'know? Where can you say: "No, I'm not going to be a part of this, but still respect someone"?

Bigoted is a huge word that gets thrown around. It's just not true! You cannot have a society of hatred or society of bigotry. I just happen to know what marriage is, and I don't see how it could change. The best way to kind of break down all these barriers...whoo, this is hard...is to get to know people one-on-one.

If you also believe that marriage is between one white European man and one white European woman...you are not alone. You are not alone.

You. Are. Not. Alone.
