This was the case with slavery. John C Calhoun said that the South not only needed a constitutional right to own slaves but to own them free of criticism.
Later viewing.
Did you post this to religion? George is not a religious figure and doesn’t set out a religious argument.
He’s eloquently saying what those of us here have known in our hearts to have been true all along

Well, it does talk about RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, so I ticked the boxes on “Religion and Culture” and “Religion and Politics”, and of course, “MORAL ISSUES”.
And since I believe marriage is God-ordained, I believe it does belong on this forum.
Homosexuality’s practices are diametrically opposed to God’s will as stated in the bible. They want to defile marriage, sodomize each other and in many cases, other people’s children...they cannot co-exist with religious freedoms.
OK, I would rather see it in broader terms and was just curious whether it got “down-graded” from the news/ current events forum. Thanks for posting it.
Wow! It’s obvious.
that Princetonian is going to get fired and sent to Harvard for Re-education camp.
He and Niall Ferguson could create a disturbance in the Harvard faculty lounge.
There is no legitimate comparison of homosexuals with Blacks in their struggle to gain and secure their freedom in America, and Black-Americans have said so en masse.
Gay marriage and common sense cannot coexist.
You’re wrong. There is a legitimate comparison in the arguments made by both slaveowners and homosexuals about the fact that even opposing the institution was a violation of their “freedom,” and such opposition could not be permitted. Calhoun was clear about this, as apparently are the rabid homosexuals. It is already a crime in parts of Scandinavia to preach against homosexuality.
“It is already a crime in parts of Scandinavia to preach against homosexuality”
Coming soon, within a year, to an American church near you.
Tell Black Americans they are wrong. I agree with them.
I don’t get your point. The homosexual lobby insists that merely criticizing homosexuality is a violation of their rights. John Calhoun said merely criticizing salve owners was a violation of their rights. Now, it’s not about “agree” or “disagree” as these are facts. Which of the two do you dispute?
Adolf Hitler was a notable poet. So was Robert Frost. Is there an equivalence in these men?
Your ‘facts’ are in isolation without context and no basis for comparison.
You are committing the philosophical ecological fallacy which also shows your arrested intellectual maturity.
Don’t despair the short term as the nuances of philosophy will not sway humanity to again defeat the unwelcome push to normalize homosexual perversity. But within a generation deceit will.
Deceit is what lies at the feet of perversity. And you can count it as a certainty that growing numbers will gain no peace in willful ignorance and will find it necessary to confront the deceit. And as always as history predicts events will repeat as revulsion breaks a truce of indifference.
The article cited above says that the same thing is happening to opponents of homosexuality, that the homosexual lobby is seeking to ban all speech opposing homosexuality.
Now, which part of this similarity do you fail to understand? Do you deny that the homosexual lobby is seeking to ban all "anti-gay" speech? Do you deny that Calhoun, and many other supporters of slavery, sought constitutional protections specifically against speech (and writings, such as Uncle Tom's Cabin) against homosexuality?
Either you are significantly dense, or you have such an anti-homosexual chip on your shoulder that you cannot even see facts when they support your case. Either way, YOUR deceit or willful ignorance is stunning.

The above from your post #2.
You can resort to all the name calling and misguided derision you want. And you can change the subject at your whim.
