Opposition to equal civil rights for gays comes in many forms. Religious conservatives are losing the argument that there is something necessarily wrong with homosexuality, so they appear to be turning to a new one: treating gays like fully equal citizens and human beings is incompatible with conservatives' religious liberty. Are they right?
Daily Poll: Are equal rights for gays incompatible with religious liberty?
- Yes. Civil equality for gays must be restricted to preserve religious liberty.
- Yes. Religious liberty must be restricted to achieve civil equality for gays.
- Perhaps occasional compromises are needed, but there is no fundamental incompatibility.
- No more so than religious liberty is incompatible with any other form of civil rights.

There are very existing laws against this type of problems because since the beginning of times gay people didn’t have the freedom that they have in these days thats why this people are fighting they’re rights.

gays never pushed their luck until they were givin leeway. We allowed them to roam and have their personal lives without interupting no matter how against it we seem to be. Now, they are pushing us and trying to get marriages legal and it is rediculous. They just need to be happy with what they have we have accepted them into the community. That is all that really needs to be heard of. That should be the end

Everyone is entitled to there own opinions on this matter but I have to ask you say you found the man of your dreams the person you couldn’t imagine living without and you wanted to be able to spend the rest of your life with him, take his last name of by law really truly become one. Now imagine the government, your friends, your family most people you know telling you that you do not have a right to be with that person let alone marry him and love him the way you know you should be able to, And then watch as your friends marry the men and women they love while you are not “permitted to” now tell me how you would feel about that.

so little to say to that, because its so obviously horrible on its own.
brittany…….we do not discriminate against stupid people, do we? “they” keep pushing they’re luck, getting access to computers, leaving their cages and pens.
first, they wanted to go to school. so we let them, and now our entire educational system is looked down on by the whole world.
next thing you know, they’ll want to learn how to spell! where will it end?
stupid people have enough freedom! it stops, NOW!

AMEN!
Priceless Zayla! You summed it up quite well, I actually have nothing to add. Well done!
Blacks never pushed their luck until they were given leeway. We allowed them to roam and have their personal lives without interrupting no matter how against it we seem to be. Now, they are pushing us and trying to get marriages legal and it is ridiculous. They just need to be happy with what they have we have accepted them into the community.

replace the word “gay” with “ni**er” and i think, at least i hope, that most of you haters will change your minds.
Brittany, two problems I have with your parental units.
One their failure to adequately use birth control.
Two their failure to educate the product of their failure in the requirements of a rational responsible secular citizen.
Problem with replacing the word “gay” with the “n” word is that it would probably be okay with Brittany and her kind.
The problem isn’t just marriage it is the lifestyle too.
If you go to the CDC and look up what Doctors report about this life style and see the Disease’s that come with it versus, heterosexual relationships there is a huge percentage gap.
There have been many non bios studies, in Norway, London, US, and Canada showing problems with this lifestyle.(Having to do studies in the first place shows there is a problem)
A choice they choose and it affects others, having a safe sex lifestyle may be for some but most according to the studies that have been done meth, bath houses and very many multi sex partners have caused much of the problem.
I have looked at both sides of this issue when explaining what Homosexuality means to my children and why there are people who choose the same sex as a partner.
There is some much to look at and many different arguments about this, choice, not choice, some animals do it, where not animals, God does not allow it, God loves everyone, I believe in God, Some don’t believe in God, Suicide Rate, Hater caused them to commit suicide, but whatever the argument is this is still a very difficult issue.
That is why there has been so many studies done on the problems with this lifestyle, from the 70′s going forward it has been one step at a time slowly coming out of the closet, in the 40′s this lifestyle was considered a perversion and a psychological disorder it wasn’t until the 70′s that it was changed from a disorder and that was under duress and hundreds of Doctors where never heard from, hundreds of case studies never heard.
I myself do not like the lifestyle, I have done a lot of research on this looking at both sides to why a person would choose to go against the laws of nature, looking at all arguments pro and con, there has been no scientific proof that a person is born Homosexual, all non bios studies show life events being the cause.
Drugs is a major reason for Homosexuality if you go to the CDC website and really look at the Doctors reports, drugs are a huge problem contributor Meth is a mind altering drug it amps you up and people do things they would normally not do while on this drug after they come down the depression is overwhelming.
The real issue here is marriage, the homosexual community will argue marriage gives you more rights as a couple, in 30 states there are still laws against homosexual acts until those laws are changed marriage should not even be considered, the laws that are still on the books where put there for a reason until those reason are fully disputed there should not even be a discussion about same sex couples.
What is the norm this is a question that has caused great debate, who is to say what is normal and what is not, usually we look to Doctors who have studied the human body, Physiologist who have studied the minds of humans these Doctors have given us facts about body and the mind, with that stated most of the laws on the books for sexually related issues have been passed down from research from Doctors if a Doctor reports something is not good for you, like smoking for example but you still do it, knowing it is wrong and in the long run you are going have health problems, to me it is the same this for lifestyles Doctors have shown this type of relationship is not good for the body or the mind, why would we not listen to them( when I say Doctors I am talking about the 99% that say it is bad) the homosexual lifestyle goes against the human laws of nature, the anus was and is still an exit only part of the body who are we to change the way nature intended are bodies to be used(This why we have Diseases that affect Homosexuals only, there is staph infection that has only affected the Homosexual community and it kills most who get it)
For me the end to all the arguments is at the CDC website many have died from using tainted blood getting Aids, children who have needed blood transfusions getting Aids, HEP C, HEP B, and STAPH there are more but you will need to research, this also another problem so many come to these websites and argue and comment about this issue and don’t do any real research they just listen to the news, most don’t even know that the First president was not George Washington that there were 8 before him this is not in the history books in school unless you go to college, and even then ?
Many listen to the news and think it is fact I am not saying that most isn’t but how many times have you listen to the news and then the story kept changing as it went on, In the news today 20 dead as a building collapsed because of a gas line exploded, then as you go the real death toll was 6 and the builder is now suspected of trying to cut corners inferior product used. blah blah blah
I say do some research I don’t mean just from one place but 100’s spend some time looking around and make sure one site isn’t using the same information from the one you where just at, I research everyday on different things I want to know more about.
Remember this everything we have learned has came from research and studies since the start of time, countless theories rediscovered every year and everything that has shaped are minds has came from the experiences we have had good or bad, kind or mean how we treat other has came from examples of life, how we think and how we react this is who we are, think about it.
This is just my opinion, and I know it will not matter to most but since everyone on here has posted there opinion I too choose to. Sorry if I misspelled or for the run sentences.

Your comment upset me so much I couldnt finish the whole thing. So i want to approach what I can. Being gay is not a “CHOICE” it is not something that we choose I knew i was gay before i even knew my ABC’s it’s a feeling that your different it’s trying to be straight and feelings completely lost in that “lifestyle” i feel it’s something people can never understand unless they are gay.
P.S i’m pretty damn sure i wasnt doing drugs when i was four and knew i was gay
Sincerely me
what’s does being black have to do with it.. this is about gays not gay black ppl but all gay ppl wtf r yall talkin bout? u guys r weird…me i really dnt care bout gay ppl..i treat them with respect…i dnt care what ppl think..i knw what’s right and what’s wrong..but i’ll never judge anyone
Jesus being the embodiment and the personification of the God head, never taught on homosexuality either for or against it during his ministry before his assent-ion.He was completely silent on it, but did support the underprivileged againts the hypocritical religious Tyrone of his day.He preserved the God given endowment of right of choice ( not that gay is a choice, I don’t believe gay is a choice but rather born that way)and freedom.
What i think about all this. being gay is a sin because the gays are trying to be something they are not. come on if your a guy you have sex with a women not the other way around if you think other wise why are you even alive. your just a waste of life that will in turn just make ever one sick. just to be around you. and they have a good reason for it to your fucking guys in the ass. not to mention the fact that some gays take action like rape. that makes thing way worse. since most men would kill a homo just for even trying to do anything like that. just being gay puts your life at risk who likes a gay…….. really who likes a gay. oh right another gay would like a gay i think anyone that’s gay needs to be in a mental institution because something in there head is not right
it is wrong.
