Hi Al,
There is no feud that I know of but perhaps a problem of sorts at times.
If you say so.
You say this is about equal rights for all - meaning only those who cannot get intimate with the opposite sex want the security and protections offered by the legal institution of marriage.
Should this always have to involve actual intimacy? If say there were only a platonic relationships between a man and women would you insist it was a sham and wrong if they chose to be married or indeed remain so? Why must the freedom to choose a partner in life always depend on an actual presumably sexual intimacy?
I think that people should be free to choose their own partners and their own levels of intimacy as a basic human right.
And you think this is not about you caring about other people's sex lives?
I really don't want to know nor care what others actually do together in private, gay or straight. It is about individuals having the right to choose for themselves.
They have parades, they do everything they can to get homosexuality in the movies, on tv shows, and legislated as equal to the actual relationships that make the world turn.
What do you mean by "they"? Are all gay people somehow compelled to overtly display their sexuality in parades, movies and TV? Or perhaps it's only the more extrovert and/or politically motivated people, gay or straight, that tend to do that sort of thing, had you considered that?
If you do not think you are being played into caring - ask yourself would they care about you and your relationships with a woman?
The whole point about any activist group is to sway the general consensus. We who may be less involved should know this and be able to make rational conclusions anyway from a broader overview than those in the middle of it.
The state simply banning people it selects, from their freedom to choose how to live or what to campaign for is surely not the answer afaic.
I'll stop here regarding this post.
But think about it Al please
I may not be as easily persuaded by activist groups as you seem to think. :nono:
I just may have actually reached my own rational and reasonable conclusion in spite of any activist organisations best efforts?
TBH I'm usually rather put off by slick partisan activist agendas and try to ignore them.
