No, they are not requiring you to treat them in any way. They are only requiring the gov't to give them the same benefits as all married couples.

lol.....and requiring us to give them something is not requiring us to treat them in a particular way?......gosh that's really stupid.....why don't you just admit you are wrong and get it over with.....
 
WinterBorn said:
I agree with that. I am arguing that gay marriage SHOULD be allowed. Until it is, gay couples shouldn't get the benefits.

but you've done nothing to show that gay marriage should be allowed.....all you've done is concede that it isn't unfair that they don't receive the same benefits as married people.....
 
WinterBorn said:
Just exactly how is it that you "treat married people"?

Do you give them more respect than single people?

Do you offer them friendship more readily than you do single people?



Suppose Adam & Steve live in your neighborhood. They are gay, and they live together. Is anyone forcing you to accept that?

Suppose they get married. What changes in the way you treat them?



The answer is that nothing changes.

/boggle....we've talked about what changes a half dozen times already, you just admitted it in your last post....what's wrong with you?.....

There are over 1400 legal rights given to a married couple that an unrecognized partnership does not offer.

so what?.....there are legal rights given to airline pilots that I don't get.......as a lawyer I have legal rights that non-lawyers don't get....adults have legal rights that children don't get.......I have rights that convicted felons don't get......it happens all the time.....

by what right do you dictate to the rest of us that the choice of two men to engage in a relationship requires the rest of society to acknowledge it as normal?......if they choose to do something in the privacy of their own home, it's their private choice.....carrying that into the courthouse and demanding the rest of the world change because of it is not......

How about the right that all men are created equal, with equal rights.
 
PostmodernProphet said:
nope....because you would also be insisting that it's "breakfast" at 3:00 pm even if you ate a hamburger.....

you miss the point.....you can eat whatever you want whenever you want it....you can even call it whatever you want.....just don't expect the rest of the world to change because you choose to do so.....you want "most people" to do what you've decided you want them to do.....they weren't forcing you to eat eggs in the morning, you were free to do it whenever you wanted.....we should be free to laugh at you if you say "I ate eggs this morning" when you ate them at 3pm......you want us to nod our heads and say "yes, you ate them this morning" even though you didn't.......

And yet oddly enogh; some fast food chains and resturants are selling breakfasts, all day long.
And no, they don't call them lunch or dinner; but you can still have a lunch meal or a dinner meal, if you choose.

Odd how that works; HUH!!

they are demanding that society accept their relationship as the equivalent of a marriage between a man and a woman.....why should we have to accept their choices....it should only be necessary that they accept their choices.....leave the rest of us out of it.....

And just think; just a few decades ago, people of different races were demanding that society accept their relationship and be allowed to marry. How dare they found it necessary for everyone to accept their choice. They should have accepted their choice and left everyone else out of it.

d'uh....I'm a conservative....I work to prevent changes which cause a deterioration of society.....you're a liberal, you work to promote changes which cause a deterioration of society....it's what we are.....

HMMMMMMMMMMM; sounds similar to those that said that races inter-marrying would cause a deterioration of society.

This is hissy: "I didn't realize you were so unaware of the things you've typed."

It doesn't add to your argument and is merely there in an attempt to condescend.

I wasn't aware that an observation and conclusion of you abilities, was a hissy.

So when you say you don't understand what someone is saying, you're having a hissy. :good4u:

And gays will get the right to marry, you'll have to accept it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Except continue to complain.

Yes, let's study this very long and carefully before proceeding, er, half-cocked.

So no real evidence, lets study it for 20 years? That is your answer?

They have done plenty of studies on the effects of gay parents. That was the big worry.

Really stupid? I have shown there is no effect on children. I have shown there are benefits that straights receive that gays do not, thereby showing inequality in the way the gov't treats its people.

There is no difference in the way your marriage would be. You are not required to treat them any differently.

The requirement is for the gov't to give the same benefits to all its citizens.

All of those are rights that you have earned. You equate being straight with earning a law degree and passing the bar?

I have done nothing of the kind. Allowing gays to marry would have no effect on you except in the most abstract way in your own mind. The fact that you think its icky or sinful is not a reason to deny them equality.
