I don't know about you folks, but I don't see any reason to distrust this guy:

Kotter still thinks it is his family that things are being imposed on.

Are you an Ann Coulter devotee?

GEEZE, Zach. If other people confirming their love for one another and garnering legal protection for their relationship isn't an infringement of your personal space, what is?

If you are labeling gay people who are trying to obtain equal rights "activists" then I can see where you would have stood during the Civil Rights Era. Gay people want to get married so they can have the same rights as you, and these are important rights such as health care for partners, hospital visitation rights, and other basic things. They are not trying to get married to ruin your marriage or make your children gay, yet the conservative side seems to assume that is an inevitability.
You use "activism" in a pejorative sense (we always hear conservative whining about "activist judges") and it completely disrepects the PROGRESS our country made during the "activism" of the Civil Rights Era, where progress was made thanks to the "liberals" who had the gaul to believe in equal rights for all people.
I am not saying you are prejudiced, I just think we should avoid portraying people who support gay marriage as radical activists.

It's easy to do so when you are the one who might have to give up some of your white/straight/male privilege like a 4 year old hordeing all the Lincoln Logs.

CUE ROCKIN' THE SUBURBS... NOW

Not all activism is bad.....the Civil Rights movement was activism. Duh. FWIW, I would have supported that.

However, the difference you are refusing to see is the one many reasonable people make between skin color/race/genetics and, whether or not YOU personally agree, a distinction based on sexual preference/behavorial/lifestyle choice.

You may disagree, but many educated, conscientious, and intelligent people consider being black as being akin to gender, whereas being gay is akin to being an alcoholic or drug addict.

And therein, lies the difference in your thinking and theirs.

(....oh well, here we go with the ad hominem/homophobic/bigot charges that inevitable follow any attempt to disagree in a reasonable fashion with those on your side. :banghead: )

I just don't see how you can go around in these circles...you must be the most obtuse thinker. Your activist judge comments went full circle when you said you didn't mind in a case...you know...a case you agreed with.

Who didn't see thatm coming?

Yeah... everyone in the scientific community totally agrees with your conclusion. Your proof is indisputible.

Discussion OVER.

CUE SPIN SPIN SUGAR... NOW

Heh...

Being gay = drug addiction and alcohal abuse.

Hey hey...im just reasonable guy here.

Well, we disagree on the nature of homosexuality, so we'll just have to leave it at that. Obviously, I can't convince you, and you can't convince me. I'll let the disagreement stand where it is.

Nah.

She's a shill.....like Michael Moore. Both can be amusing, but both grow old pretty quickly.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU HE SAID GAYS ARE LIKE ALCOHOLICS NOT BLACK PEOPLE YOU STUPID **** WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN

At it's core it's not.

The majority of college profs are liberals.
