Yup your private parts are more important than any other constitutional rights..I don't seem to remember which part of the bill of rights says you're more important if your gay???
That's not the argument though. The point is they should be treated equally as a heterosexual.
I have a question for you. Do you think it's ok for a hard working person to not get hired because of their sexual orientation (even if they don't agree with them)? If the answer is yes, how can you say that the American dream exists for everyone?
So if a gay person wants to get a job at a Christian bookstore with the sole intent of displaying their gayness knowing it would hurt the business, which it would, you are OK with that? The store owner has no right to protect his business. This is not gay rights. It is the religion of demoncratic political correctness and it is at war with Christianity. Anything that encourages people to look to God instead of government for their needs is an enemy of the state. Amorality vs morality. When Jesus said, "You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free", it was not the lefts definition of freedom. Sin is bondage, Christ is freedom.
Hmm what does "displaying their gayness" mean?
I will admit there will probably be a few cases where this may happen. However, it is still a red herring and it's not going to happen at a mass level.
I understand you have your own beliefs but let's remember this country is full of people with different religious beliefs. With that being said "Anything that encourages people to look to God instead of government for their needs is an enemy of the state" shouldn't be a governing view for this country.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, NOT government.
It is overpowering, left leaning, big government with their liberal appointed judges, not the will of the people, that encroaches on freedom.
There are none so blind as those that will not see.
You know what displaying their gayness means, and if one owner loses his business it is one too many.
I guess we all have to ignore the fact that gay employees will have more health problems, suffer from more mental problems, and more likely have substance abuse issues?
I'm assuming you read these in studies that have been done on this topic. I find it odd that you did not mention the main underlying cause that these studies talk about. That main cause is discrimination.
Perhaps, if we stop discriminating against gays we will see an improvement in mental problems, health problems (in some areas), etc?
NO, the EXCUSE gays use is discrimination but studies out of Europe where discrimination ended years ago shows that the depression, health problems, and general dysfunction remain. Blaming your problems on how other people treat you is lame anyway, let's be honest. I think it's funny that no matter how much legal validation gays get, their problems are still blamed on other people.
Just because there are laws regarding discrimination doesn't mean society no longer harbors negative views towards a certain demographics. It's not like after the civil rights movement in the 60s everyone all the sudden respected black people.
What particular studies are you referring to?
"Blaming your problems on how other people treat you is lame anyway"
I can't tell if that's a serious comment or not.
Of course it's a serious comment. Other people's attitude doesn't make you engage in risky sexual behavior, spread diseases, use drugs, and commit suicide. Take some responsibility for your own actions.
I agree with the notion that people should let others control their lives but I feel you a missing the point. If a homosexual is cut off from his family due to his lifestyle he may turn to drugs to alleviate his depression. That's what I meant when I said discrimination does play a role in the gay community's health since their response to forms of oppression are not healthy choices at times.
Has anyone else noticed how badly this format sucks?
Indeed

Grammar Nazi or just letting us know about your cycle?
Why did Karl Marx dislike Earl Grey?
Because he believed all proper tea is theft.

First I have to limber up: I do Tai chi in the morning and Chai tea in the evening.
Oh looky, It appears some European Dictator is butthurt about us and supporting England's exit from the European Union. So now he wants to make Ohio and Texas independent countries...Ohio???? Europeans are dumber than shit...He should have gone for Kalifornia and maybe the commies in Sacramento could become part of that Commi Club the E.U.....If this is the leadership of the E.U. it is no wonder that are in a shit load of trouble..perhaps this dumbass forgot who came to save their sorry asses twice.
I get so tired of stupid liberals being surprised at the easily foreseen results of their idiotic ideas. They didn't mean to increase poverty and destroy the inner cities with the Great Society. They didn't mean to increase racial tension by enacting affirmative action and electing a black president. They didn't mean to spin the Middle East into chaos by trying to be buddies with the Muslim Brotherhood. They didn't mean to import violence when they decided to invite thousands of Muslim refugees into the country. They didn't mean to stratify society and inhibit economic growth by growing the size of government. And now, listen up everybody, they didn't mean to cause more sexual predation of women by requiring that men be allowed into women's bathrooms. Yeah, I'm sick of the stupidity. The left has never gotten one single thing right, ever.
Good news everyone: two more states will be expanding Medicaid since trumpcare failed.
Too late, he's already suffering the mental damage from the syphilis.
lolol that was savage!
Yea great fucking news for taxpayers who have to pay for this free shit democraps always give away...
So in the runup to the election, I irritated a lot of people who supported Trump by pointing out that he's not a conservative, and was aligned more with establishment RINOs than conservatives. I think I've been proven right after the past week, because notice who formed the failed coalition to pass that piece of shit Ryancare legislation yesterday: Trump and establishment Republicans. And it was the conservative Freedom Caucus that stopped them, with Trump threatening them all the way. Case closed. We have a Republican president but not a conservative one.
Can't argue with you on that, but then I didn't before.
Kimmy is right though, he's a damned site better than the witch.
I was never under the impression that he was a conservative President. One of the reasons I didn't vote for him. Yet I will still take him over Hillary.
You have to be honest on one thing: at least Obama got healthcare pass when he has the house. Trump on the other hand couldn't. He is such a weak leader.
Democrats passed Obamacare in a totally illegal manner, with skullduggery Republicans, for all their faults, are unwilling to resort to. Not only did Democrats have senators who should not have been in office at all--Alaska, Minnesota, Massachusetts--but even then they couldn't muster the necessary votes so they illegally passed a tax bill that originated in the Senate, which is unconstitutional, and the House resorted to "deeming" it passed rather than actually debating and voting on it. Only you could be proud of that process.
You have a source of these claims? It sounds like a conspiracy...
Roberts helping the illegal process along. The Founders must be rolling in their graves
Has also been a concern of mine about Trump. I hope they can walk away and let ocare implode on its own. They can then sit back and say they tried to fix it and democrats blocked them. Time to work on the next issue and leave this lose/lose piece of legislation alone.
Give me a break. Trump has the votes to pass it without the democrats. The GOP is just divided.
Looks like he didn't.
Kind of an ignorant statement you dumbfuck. If he had the votes to pass it w/o the democrats, then why didn't it get voted on? I'm not saying the democrats blocked it, I'm saying they could blame it on the democrats not passing. Pay attention you ignorant fucktard.
You know what? Don't even respond to my posts. You're too fucking stupid to be here in the first place, definitely too stupid to hold your own against me. Piss off into whiny land.
It didn't get voted on because the Freedom Caucus didn't approve of the bill.
lol settle down my friend. I know you must be upset that Obamacare is the law of land and the "master negotiator" couldn't get the House together. Don't worry though because the spending bill is coming up -- oh wait we already have one GOP senator against it. That senator is Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham is a Democrat. Don't believe that "R" after his name.
Well, we sure love the help from Graham! McCain and Graham are American heroes!
Personally I think it's a bot.
Wait...

Not a Trump fan, but he is far better than a President HilLiary.
At first glance maybe, but remember what wise men have said throughout the ages: the enemy within does more damage than the enemy without. Trump is ostensibly a Republican president, setting an agenda that is not conservative at all except for the Supreme Court choice. How will we ever sell conservatism after this guy is done?
I am yoinking part of your comment. You state the point most excellently.
