re: #7 Obdicut

You must have more information than I do. I’ve never heard of the guy but I didn’t see him say he wants to outlaw homosexuality in that clip.

I fully believe that you think this is true. However, you also believe that a store should be able to ban black people from shopping there, so your grasp of this topic is rather weak.

Actually, you’re mistaken again. My grasp is fine. We’ve already added a ton of laws and a constitutional amendment that says that is illegal. The question is “should it be?”. My answer is based on the assumption that people have the right to associate with whomever they choose whether I like it or not. Your answer is based on the idea that the government has the right to force people to behave in a way in which you agree. Where exactly does that kind of behavior (forcing your morality on others) end? Let me give you a hint, it doesn’t. As long as the majority is allowed to force the minority to behave in whatever their definition of “morality” seems to be at the moment we’ll continue to dilute our rights.

If you want to stop people from legislating behavior based on their version of morality then you have to oppose them all including the ones you might agree with. You can’t say some are ok and some aren’t.
