I also wonder whether you also exclude anyone who has had heterosexual sex outside of marriage

Unmarrieds shacking up do not trash the concept of marriage...

Or whether you ask them whether they have master-bated in the past few weeks

and neither do masturbaters...but boys who marry boys however, are making a strong commentary against traditional matrimony...

I’ve found that the vast majority of people who broach the subject of redefined marriage have no interest in a real discussion and no ability to entertain reason. Cut them off immediately, even relatives if necessary.

What do you tell a friend who has just told you that his niece is now a nephew (a scientist, by the way) and you have to accept it?

I'd ask them by what medical testing method this birth defect was discovered. Dollars to donuts there was absolutely NO medical/genetic testing done to determine a "transgender" diagnosis.

She, of course, was a lesbian who decided to do The Full Monty. My friend expected me to jump with joy and I didn’t. I told him it was ridiculous and that I had no intention of honoring her choice. I just will avoid her like the plague!

If a lesbian becomes a transgender man, won’t all of the other lesbians have to stop being attracted to ‘him’ out of fairness to the ‘authentic female’ lesbians?

???

First the liberties say you can marry the same sex, if they consent. Then they say you can marry family members! And now they are arguing that you can even marry people who dissent??? When did that stop being rape?

I avoid all controversial discussions.

I state my opinion,let people state theirs,and that’s that.

The actionable word is obviously ‘discuss.’ As I mention in another comment, those who want to “duke it out” over this issue are almost always those who want to wave it in dissenters’ faces and belittle them as ancient-valued ‘bigots.’ Such people are fine in my home as long as they keep the conversation neutral and family-friendly, which absolutely, positively rules out any conversation regarding the “sin which cries to heaven for vengeance.”

When our daughter was still in the house we used to have a lot of people over for the holidays.

After spending some six or eight times at our house, an old queen and his son finally figured out that we were conservative. Future invitations were freely given, but they never came again.

So who were the intolerant ones?
