If you intentionally said that as a joke: Hahahaha.
If you're serious: Do you know what the word "contradiction" means? Something that contains contradictory elements. A See synonym of opposite. You said "There is no such thing as gay marriage", then you followed with the statemet "gay can get married all the time". I sincerly hope you see the contradiction. I hope you also see that statements like these in opening your response will result in people either skipping over your post, or already having an opinion of you before they get to read what you get to say that's really important.

I'm condeming the church for acting in a bigotous manner, which does not accuratly represent the God that they worship. Just like I don't agree with the crusades and the inquisition.

Some hetero couples get dirty looks for acting like a couple-we must free the unattractive from the tyranny of inpulchritudiphobes! Give me a break  . |
People with mohawks arn't being denied the eight to a civil union last I heard, so this is different.

Many other forms of behavior cause people to treat them as less than equal, yet only homosexuals seem to want their behavior elevated. I have no problem with homosexuals trying to make their behavior more accepted; likewise I have no problem with groups trying to make homosexual behavior less accepted. It's up to the efforts of each of these groups to contribute to the debate and determine the social acceptance of homosexual behavior. I'm just showing that one of the tools of the homosexual propaganda side is not only false, but insulting. The difference between the "gay rights" struggle and the civil rights struggle is the difference between being shot with a water pistol and being shot with a 9mm. For anyone to think otherwise just shows how far civil rights really have to go in America.

What a wonderful opinion that I completly disagree with because of my set of morals. The difference between you're treatment of gays and past treatment of african-americans is negligable when taking into account what is socially acceptable in both different time frames. BTW, how many gay bashings are there every year?
