Ann Fisher commentary: Gay-rights foes will be minority before long

[Antoninus]

If they're depending on the opinions of college students not changing as said students mature, they're in for a rude awakening.

[Antoninus]

Stop the oppression of nose pickers now!!!!

LOL. I used to say that all the time as a counterpoint to the butt-sex-rights argument.

You don't have a God-given right to pursue disgusting behaviors. You just don't.

[Antoninus]

Unfortunately, there is no constitutional place for either marriage, family, gender, ‘childhood’ or any other form of pro-civilization condition.

Complete piffle. Marriage between one man and one woman is a God-given right. To raise one's children as one sees fit is a God-given right. And children have the God-given right to have their innocence protected. These are tenets of Natural Law. The US Constitution is a product of the belief in Natural Law, and thus, laws which violate the Natural Law should be unconstitutional.

Our problem is that some of our current actual laws (hate crimes laws, pro-abortion laws, gun-grabber laws, etc.) clearly do not reflect the Natural Law. As such, they are unjust and need not be obeyed. They should be overturned by our legislative bodies--and any judge who tries to stop it should be removed from office and imprisoned for overstepping his/her Constitutional bounds.

[Alouette]

Gays do not reproduce. Liberals barely reproduce. Conservative “homophobes” have large families.

Do the math.

[Alouette]

Another generation of voters -- and the people they elect to represent them -- will be taking over in a few years. If the polls are any indication, they won't tolerate intolerance.

Somebody predicted in the 1960's that marijuana and other recreational drugs would all be legal by now because everyone who used them in college would become lawyers and legislators and they would legalize it in order to continue using.

What has Subaru got to do with it? Just asking.......

Having been born and raised in Massachusetts, I understand your question. Up there, men drive Subarus, too. I've lived in Ohio for the past 16 years, and the truth is, in the MidWest, Subaru=Lesbian or at least extreme tree-hugging, abortion-loving, Birkenstock-wearing female.

How can you have Civil Rights if you are not counted in the Census?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Are you sure you are posting to the right person?

I sure don’t uderstand your queston/post

[Crystal Cove]

What are you talking about? Gays reproduce all the time.

[Alouette]

Gays reproduce all the time.

Gays are incapable of reproducing "together" with their partners, without including a third party to provide the sperm/egg/womb. Heterosexuals do not have this little problem.

[Crystal Cove]

Gays do not have that problem either. I work with a lesbian who has four children with her ex-husband. They are the biological children of her and her husband, and were conceived naturally. There are countless gay people like her. I don’t know where this comes from — that gay people can’t reproduce. They have the same parts that heterosexuals have.

[Alouette]

I don’t know where this comes from — that gay people can’t reproduce.

What part of WITH THEIR GAY PARTNERS don't you understand?

I did not say "gays" can't reproduce in a heterosexual relationship.

[Crystal Cove]

Uh, you said “Gays don’t reproduce”, then tried to qualify it. Whatever.

[Alouette]

you said “Gays don’t reproduce”, then tried to qualify it.

When they are breeding in heterosexual relationships they're not gay, dumbass.

[Crystal Cove]

Classy.

[bpjam]

Antoninus, I agree with you but unfortunately God-given is not in the Constitution. While you and I and 200,000,000 Americans agree with these concepts, a handful of lawyers can open up our entire society like a can of sardines.

I wish it were some other way. Jay Sekulow, who is one of the most prominent lawyers fighting the battle against the atheists, believes the same thing. There is simply no long term legal defense for our practices with a constitutional amendment protecting marriage, gender, age of consent and anything else which represents our cultural values.

While we personally believe that violations of Natural Law ‘should’ be unconstitutional, one of the benefits of the Constitution is that is leaves many things up to the people to decide. But since family, marriage and morality are not mentioned in the Constitution, we are relying upon our own better angels and not judges to enforce them.

[buccaneer81]

As a newbie, with your attitude, my first instinct is to classify you as a potential troll.

[NucSubs]

She’s right.

[darkangel82]

Definitely a troll. ibtz?
