The anti-gay marriage movement IS homophobic

So tell me. What right do you or anybody not have under the current marriage laws? Until you guys have the integrity to answer that question, you are just spitting in the wind so far as making a case for how you want the laws to be.

The right to marry someone of the same gender. You just don't get it, do you? We have the integrity, and it does not surprise me that you stoop to suggesting that anyone here doesn't.

Why is it so difficult for you to understand that thinking people don't share your myopic vision of equality. Equality is NOT a half measure or a three-quarter or a nine-tenths measure; equality is equality.

How many times does it have to be pointed out to you, Foxfyre? This "gold standard" is being denied to a large group of people SIMPLY because of their sexual orientation.

All anyone is asking for is for people to be treated equally.

It's folks like you who are content to see discriminatory laws be put in place to make people second class citizens.

Since when does love have a factor in marriage? If 2 roommates wanted to marry out of convince for tax reasons does love factor into their marriage?

Do you need govt approval of your love for it to be real?

Baldimo, you answered many of the previous questions (not necessarily satisfactorily) but not mine. How is it equal when heterosexuals can marry the person they love and homosexuals can not?

How is it equal treatment when a gay or lesbian can be denied a job or housing because of their sexual or gender orientation?

It depends on what is being done. If a man comes into my business looking for a job dressed like a woman and has to have face-to-face relations with my customers, I'm going to select someone who will not raise questions or cause problems. In the place where I work now it wouldn't make a difference because we answer incoming phone calls and people don't know what we look like so it doesn't matter. We have several people who work here who have had or in the process of being changed from the way they were born. From what I can tell they are all very happy working here.

Personal businesses should have the right to hire who they want and let live in their apartments. This goes not only for a persons orientation but also on many factors such as how they dress what they where on their faces (jewelry/tattoos). A govt agency should have to hire everyone regardless of who or what they are.

So Baldimo goes on the record for discrimination against gays. That was easy.

BTW baldie, just putting on a dress doesn't make you a transsexual, it makes you a man in a dress

What state are you claiming that you do business in?

I don't know what the laws are in Colorado but you would be opening up yourself to litigation if you operated in Cali.
