My paragraphs are not contradictory. You can be intelligently against homosexual marriage or against making people do business with homosexuals based on sound arguments. Calling people ‘queers’ of ‘Bath-house Barry’ undermines your credibility and makes all of us look ignorant.
In terms of homosexual marriage, one can argue that each state has the right to define marriage as it sees fit. You can then list a couple of examples that clearly would not be acceptable to most folks...such as a mother marrying her son....or a father marrying his daughter. Then you say, “I see homosexual mariage equivalent to these things.” Your argument is then made intelligently and you haven’t offended anyone. Get it?
In terms of the latest thing going on in Arizona. Rather than trash gay people, simply cite that it seems reasonable that any business has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Come up with some extreme examples.....such as a fine restaraunt refusing to do business with a fat smelly homeless person....or the LPGA refusing to admit men onto their tour....or a womens spa refusing to allow men.....and your point is made. Never do you need to go the gay slurs.
People....we are in a debate with a determined foe. If we don’t act intelligently we will lose. It’s that simple.
How about calling it by the name that science used to call it until quite recently, and that is ‘pederasty’, instead of using the imposed euphemism which equates pederasty with joy! Because that is how they win, by changing the language, pederasty is gay and infanticide is mere choice, and who among us or among the population in general is against choice or gaiety. You use their language and you lose the debate before it even started, so don’t lecture us about not being too bright. Who’s not too bright here?
If we don’t act intelligently we will lose

Good points all
BUT
Acting with intelligence or even trying to use logic or common sense is futile when dealing with a bunch of idiots.
