@Homophobiawatch

No to heterophobia and anti-marriage individuals/those who wish to redefine marriage. Separation of homosexuality and homosexuals; reject the former, accept the latter.

[Homophobiawatch]

Thans for doing this !

No to homophobia !

@EpicurusIVXX I see, your point. Seems i may need to work on becoming more open minded.

[EpicurusIVXX]

@vance282 okay its awkward to you. but you must understand that they are human beings with equal rights. you might not be used to it but thats fine. get used to it. people werent used to whites and blacks marrying one another. but we are used to it now.

just realize that your position to be weirded out by it is normal. but to fight or argue against them having equal rights just like any straight people have is illogical and immoral.

[vance282]

@EpicurusIVXX It's akward to me. I don't care what they do. But come on. Must everything gay be public all the time. Im not used to it. Never grew up around it. I just don't want it around me. Thats why i voice my opinion.

[EpicurusIVXX]

@vance282 you are against gays because you are religious. you have no logical reason. traditionally black and whites couldnt marry. but that was changed. also traditionally men could marry many women, we changed that.

no one is saying you have certain thoughts but not allowing others to get married means your thoughts or beliefs interfere with their life. if they get married that wont effect you at all.

why do you even care?

@vance282 gays past 20 years? What about all the straight people fighting for gays to get equal rights, hm? We broke other traditions like interracial marriage, women not being able to vote, blacks not being able to vote, etc. We don't have to accept you just said BECAUSE of our sexuality, that makes no sense. We are not judging. You are entitled to your beliefs. But your argument is invalid, so I would come up with better reasoning.

@vance282 I already have my rights but you already assumed that I was gay which completely proves your quick judgment. I support love, respect and the freedom for everyone to be with the person they love and have the same rights I have as a heterosexual woman. You definitely have the right to express your opinion and so do I, but if you want to have a credible argument, you should be able to write it in a coherent manner.

[vance282]

@Carito80 I do apologize, must i be polite on a computer and spell correctly also? I just gave my opinion. It's my right. Now go preach your rights.

[Carito80]

@vance282 You don't make any sense for two reasons: 1) Your argument is completely flawed and 2) Your writing is terrible! It's you are not your "And if your gay...."! People who make this spelling mistake lose all credibility in my book. Go take a writing class!
