I don't approve of gay 'marriage' - i think that civil partnerships achieved the legal parity required.
One thing does baffle me though, that many gay activists/supporters are also trendy lefties who also support islam. The latter's view on homosexuality is well-known and very different from that of the lefties.
I don't think anti-gay people are butting into the business of gay people. It tends to be the other way around. Gay people are trying to force everyone else to recognize gay marriage. They're suing anyone who refuses to help them. I think the gay people are the ones who need to mind their own business. If they want to consider themselves married, just do it, and stop whining that other people don't recognize the marriage.
Immigration laws haven't been passed because I don't think the Democrats actually want to pass them. They'd rather let the problem go unsolved, so they can continue to complain about it, so that latinos will be more likely to vote for them. Otherwise they would've passed an immigration law a few years ago, when they had total control of government.
The US already feeds its citizens. Nobody has starved in the US in decades.
I don't know anything about NC liability laws.
Thing is.....It's not a big deal until someone makes it one. Occasionally in life I meet a gay person, either socially or in business. I will naturally 'presume' a mutual respect. It's just like meeting someone of a different religion, political standing or even supporter of a rival football team.......No problem I 'respect' their right to a different 'take on life' to myself.
But........Push me for my opinion- As many gay people do, don't be offended when I say as a heterosexual male, I cannot find homosexuality any way 'normal' and in fact I do find the idea repulsive.
So I won't press you with my sexual habits and it's really best if you keep yours to yourself.
Ok......?
I just wish that, instead of "PREACHING TO THE COVERTED", the "Anti-Homophobic" Left would Focus their Sights on the Rampant Homophobia in Islam and other "Cultural Minorities" that is rarely discussed. The whole thing just seems to be one big Red Herring. How many people are otherwise homophobic? Not enough to care about.
"Gay Marriage" is a Fluff Issue, and nothing more.
Whether it exists or not, doesn't affect anyone's lives.
It's a democracy thing - everything has to be debate and argued over including Gay.
Even the Pope has made noises about it and suggested that Gay partnerships are a good thing and he is also in favour of civil partnerships but not marriage.
Whatever your opinion, don't sit on the sidelines, throw your hat in the ring and make your point.
You speak what most of us only utter in private and amongst our few real friends. Most people do not give a hang about homosexuality...the media is about selling. Most of the trash about movie stars,
presidents, models, preachers, etc....sells, sells, sells. Many of the personalities no one cares about at all.
But it is a marketing ploy that is well paid for...to keep their names in public, good bad or otherwise.
It sells crap, and crap sells more crap. That is the only reason we are bombarded by these news frenzies. It pays well.
Sad things is that many people with nothing else to do....tend to find an outlet by putting others down.
Homosexuality should not be a big deal at all. Some people are gay ,gget over it! But sadly some cling to old fashioned ideas and religious dogmas and stick their noses into other people's private affairs.
If you want to debate US issues you are probably best asking in the USA section, as this is the UK and Ireland section!
As a tough over head crane driver on the steel works for 30 years I knew what I was,but in the decades since I have never been sure. At a few months off 70 I dont think anyone cares.I know I dont. It doesnt matter what anyone is as long as they are nice law abiding people.
Perhaps not everyone wants it shoved in their face all the time by some zealous LGBS's. Why do they have to have their own marches, why are there federations in the police force for them etc etc. If as they say homosexuality is normal then mix with hetrosexuals at all levels. THAT would be normal instead of making themselves separate all the time when it suits them.
We're not far from the day when people come out and get no reaction whatsoever.
When they don't get the attention/praise they crave they've DEFINITELY need counselling!
Why do people become so passionate about this ONE social problem. Who cares? Why is the U.S. always butting in everyone elses business? Why haven't the immigration laws been passed yet? Why in the hell does North Carolina have such awful laws about car accidents and liability? LOL. When will we feed our own starving folks and help our own to get employed? No offense to the hungry African children.
I am probably sleepy...
Homosexuality shouldn't even affect other people, it's just society being judgemental. No one has the right to judge others, people should have the freedom to choose their own sexual orientation.
Homosexuality is not a social problem........it is merely a fact for some people.........and it has nothing to do with anyone but the person concerned.....!
Homosexuality dosnt bother me either :)
What is your question?
