The fact that you attempt to equate race with sexual preference ended any credibility you thought you might have.
Why not? You are denying someone their rights based on the who they are. Like it or not, gay people were born that way. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. That is the problem with this country. Blow hards like you try to dictate how others are treated when you don't even understand a person's inner being.
1st off, you are going off of a THEORY that is far from proven that someone is BORN homosexual. That's silliness.
however... what if I concede that point. Then anyone who was BORN a alcoholic, serial killer, rapist, zoophile, or pedaphile could never be sent to prison. How can we punish someone, by your assessment, "BASED ON WHO THEY ARE."?
And to continue to quote you... "Like it or not,"(alcoholics, pedaphile, zoophile, rapists, serial killers,)"were born that way. That is the problem with this country. Blow hards like you try to dictate how others are treated when you don't even understand a person's inner being."
I already know the primary comeback to this..."But those folks are committing crimes." Sodomy is/was a crime in this country. Not too many ways for 2 dudes to hook up while dodging that one.
Now... I'm not saying that all homosexuals are terrible people like the ones I've mentioned, but if you give the scapegoat of "born that way" to one group, you gotta be ready to give that same scapegoat to ALL groups. Are you willing to give ALL groups who claim "born that way" the same protection you give homosexuals?
