Just a question,

Does it realy matter what homosexuals choose to do as long as they don't do it to us?

LLLOOOLLL

true

Meanwhile, on the other side of Madrid, 2x the people at the catholic demonstration were dancing to the music of Carlinhos Brown...

The real debate in Spain is if same-sex marriages should be called "matromonio" or not... not that many people are against the civil union of two gay people.

How dare they!! HERETICS!!!



There was a BIG demonstration here as well yesterday:
50 protesters
250 cops

I wonder why it hasn't made the news...

well... toad said that they should have the same rights.. that get's tricky..  Skyprancer says who cares so long as they don't do it to us..

All fine sentiment..  I would mostly agree..  Now then.. Is two guys having a make out session in public "doing it to us"?

Is holding hands?  I dunno... everyone has a different tollerance level.   One thing is sure tho...

We all are emathetic creatures... we all, to some extent, put our selves in the roles of what we see... it is why we watch movies or TV or.... feel good, bad or disgusted by what we see others do.

No matter what.. I is a "normal" reaction for someone who is 100% hetrosexual to be uncomfortable with displays of gay behavior in the same sex as themselves.

what about single people, they should have the same "rights" as couples. we need to repeal all anti-cohabitation laws.

Another instance of spotty rationality yeilding inconsistent ethics.

"Back then the majority of people also backed Hitler just like the majority back this law," he said. "I'm serious, give it time and it will destroy the moral fiber of Spain and the West."

LOL

and the next sentance

"The Bishops' Conference last week said the gay marriage bill was the biggest challenge to the church and its values in 2,000 years."

LOL

"Marriage can only be between man and a woman," said Agustin Cruz, 41. "It's a divine and natural law. Marriage of homosexuals is a lie. You have to call things by their name. The first lie begins when you start calling queers 'gays.' They're queers, it's not an insult, it's the definition of that race of people."

"This demonstration is the people's response to the government's provocations," said Fr. Jose Ramon Velasco. We're not against homosexuals but allowing them to marry degrades matrimony.

"And they shouldn't have the right to adopt because if those children turn out to be homosexual, who will be to blame, the government?"


"Back then the majority of people also backed Hitler just like the majority back this law," he said. "I'm serious, give it time and it will destroy the moral fiber of Spain and the West."

Great quotes here.
Queer = race ? How is that ?
Parents make you gay or straight ? What about straight parents of all gay people ? JAIL THEM !!!

Didn't any of your teachers tell you that public opinion is not a valid argument since the earth wasn't any flatter 1000 years ago.

If it changes nothing in your life then you have no reason to be against it. Which means you should be for it.

If homosexuals took power in your country, would you want them to makes laws that limit heterosexuals' rights?
If you answer no then you should be for same sex mariage since what's good for you is also good for them.

This issue makes me wish everyone would just dump religion in favor of ethics.

[OIO]

imo, if gays/lesbians want to marry and do whatever they want with each other thats fine with me. They're 2 consenting adults in a relationship.


But adopt a kid?


Definite no.

well considering I live in a democracy or at least close ot one the majority opinion does count.  Especially when I AGREE with it.

I still have yet to see anyone show me what law right now takes away from homosexual rights??????  last I checked they had the same rights as anyone else.

and again what does religion have to do with it?

Definite no.

it's not just that its our piliticions creating laws JUST for them.  In addition they are redefining current establishments to fit the wants of a fringe minority.

I'm with Gunslinger on this.
