So homosexuals are filthy sinners, but we should respect their wishes to be filthy sinners?
There have been a lot of good points made in this thread, so I won't bother to make them again, save to say that I am deeply offended by DEI37's comments at the start of this thread. I wonder how those attitudes can continue in the nineties. I would have thought we could have wised up by now.
For the record, I support gay marriage, and think that the idea of a "commitment ceremony" is patronising and unnecessary. Sure, marriage is important to many religions, many of which don't support homosexuality. But it's also significant to a lot of us atheists who
do support homosexuality, too. And to say that the USA is primarisy Christian is no basis for the persecution of a particular group which some of the Christians may not like. Should we also outlaw laziness and staying home on Sunday mornings?
