Ask the gay community whether they they view Christian bigotry as a form of love...or hatred.
Maybe the "Christian bigotry" is their/your hatred? When actually it's jus a difference of opinion?

Passing discriminatory laws that do real harm to real people is not 'just a difference of opinion'.
Focusing on where other people stick their dicks seems somewhat less than enlightened on several fronts to me.
I guess you'd have to ask all my friends who were finally able to get married here in WA after 2012 and actually have that loving family Christians pontificate so much about. A law that actually increased the love in the world and made it a better place for all of us.
What a concept.

Seriously, The Jesus I read and learned about spoke of lifting burdens from the oppressed and condemned the "establishment" for the forcing of traditional religious taboos on their fellow man/woman. Withholding legal rights of any kind from GLB persons is no different in nature to the reasoning that crucified the Christ.

A God who cares about who puts whose hose where - now that's a God I can get behind.
My Catholic upbringing focused on being Christ-like - and playing really bad Crosby Stills n Nash on a 12 string.
That simply meant "Don't be a Dick" - not "Where 'r YOU puttin' YOUR dick?" And, it being the Nixon era, we knew exactly what that meant.
Oh wait, didn't we just forget an entire gender?
Oh wait again: that's standard procedure.

What? We suppose to pass laws to protect people. That's why you can't drive until 16. Can't drink till 21. Homosexualality has not shown any positive aspects to society? Remember aids? Killed millions. And Homo's certainly do nothing for evolution to proceed the human race.
So show me a REASON why homosexualality deserves a vote.

I wasn't aware that Christians wished to deny the right to vote to homosexuals until now. Only on the Taco.
Why should homosexuals be allowed to marry? Because they are persons with the same right of self determination and treatment under the law as you or I. Because the state has no compelling interest to prevent them from pursuing what is arguably the most important determinant to long term happiness.
End of story.
If you're worried about AIDS, wear a condom.
If you're worried about our rapidly rising 7.2 billion population suddenly collapsing in a massive gay-nado, get that screenplay outta youz. I don't think that one's been done.

so before you became a Christian you shouldn't have been allowed to vote, since you were a fallen sinner?

The State does have an interest in promoting stable family units.
Allowing everyone to marry does exactly that.
Preventing people from marrying does the opposite.

No they don't! The Christians pontification is about family. God used Himself as the number one example with the title Father. And many lessons are taught through the Father/son example. I'm pretty sure He used that because He knew He could touch on our sensitivitys after we bore children. No one can understand the life changing event of giving birth to a human being without actually doing it! Homo's can't do it, therefor its NOT the same.

And most of those killed by AIDS were NOT homosexual. God must hate you....why don't you kill yourself and make him happy?
And Homo's certainly do nothing for evolution to proceed the human race.
Nor do people past childbearing age. Or those who have medical conditions that preclude pregnancy. What camps do you want to put them in? I'd assume that would include your parents, at this point. Which camp?
So show me a REASON why homosexualality deserves a vote.
Because the Constitution of the United States guarantees them equal protection of the law. it's not an interpretation. It's the actual words in black and white.

Ur going round and round words. Now you got John mixed up.
I already agreed to give all people the same rights. Then you went off on the religious slander, and I only tried to justify. I never said anything about not allowing homosexuals to vote. My question to you was why I should advocate homosexualality, the act.

Funny, I just met a lesbian couple with a new born at an art opening on Friday, and I'm pretty sure they didn't shoplift it.

From iPhones dictionary;
Bigotry; intolerance towards others who hold different opinions then oneself.

From the iphone dictionary that Blueblocr copied and pasted:

Do you now see how your first post was wrong?
Bigotry is not holding a different opinion or disagreeing with someone, rather it is being intolerant of a person or group because of their differing beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.
Not being Christian and not believing in Christ does not make one a bigot. Not hiring someone or not wanting to be friends with someone simply because they are Christian is bigotry.

Yes, that's exactly what he looked like when he burst from the tomb and ripped into the faithful with insatiable hunger. That chapter isn't included the King James version.
