[b]Who said anything about you owing anyone anything?
You did when you claimed we owed immoral some right that doesn't exist.[/b]
And is not a person who sticks to the law and pay his/her duties to society a
free person with all the same basic rights as any other free person?
How is it that you believe somehow laws should apply differently to you
simply because you find it exciting to fondle the opposite sex?
Addition: It's called oppression, and historically it's proven to be a
very, very bad idea.
Under the law, do you not have the right to marry?
Sure I do and I am married.
It is only very recently that a small segment of the US society who believes that the definiton of marriage should be changed.
What about those who have other 'deviant' relationships? Why should those who live in plural relationships not have the right to marriage?
My point is that you are on the fringe. The number of people who believe that homosexuals should have a right to be married is small, those who believe that polygamy should be legalized and recognized with marriage rights is even smaller.
Perhaps one day most people will agree with you, but that day isn't today.
I do applaud you for being consistant in your belief in giving everyone the right to marry.
Originally posted by EladarYou are imposing your morals onto others. Many people, myself included, do not think that homosexuality is immoral. So, I'll ask you again; who's set of morals shall we use when creating your 'morality laws'?

Originally posted by Eladaractually the national polls show that those in favor of gay marriage or civil unions outnumber those that opose it.

Originally posted by duecerI know they are two totally different forms of sexual immorality, but they are both only immoral if one judges them immoral. If someone claims I am wrong for judging one immoral, then I don't see who that same person can claim the other is immoral. If neither is immoral and both arrangements are between consenting loving adults, then how can the non-judgemental be judgemental?
are you seriously equating homosexuality with polygamy?🙄
Originally posted by CliffLandinSo I take it you are for legalizing polygamy too. What don't you just say it? Just say "I believe polygamy should be legalized".
I don't want you to decide what is and what isn't moral in my life and don't feel that you are qualified to do it for anyone else, either.
