Have you ever flown? Ever been on a flight with a crying baby? Did you like it?

Just because you may not like crying children on a plane does not mean we are going to ban children from flying.

So religious individuals are like crying children on a plane? I can get with that...ok.
 
In a statement released by the white house, obama slams Uganda for an anti-gay law they going to enact.

Is Homosexuality a fundamental freedom and universal human right and on par with the right to vote, freedom of religion, right to keep and bear arms, right to trial by jury,,,, and other unalienable human rights?

You don't to "approve" of gays to realize that it is not the government's role or place to legislate which two consenting adults may marry. Around here I am considered conservative like you, shouldn't your belief that the government's role is not to run our private lives have greater importance than finding gay sex icky?

No, more like gays are cry babies.

That restaurant refuses to serve us,,,, boo hoo hoo. Lets get a lawyer and sue them, boo hoo hoo.

Yes, I think the government should stay out of my life.

But I am going to give you a couple of examples:

I can not sell eggs on the side of the road without a permit.
I can not sell chicks without a permit.
I can not sell raw milk.

If an adult decides they want to drink raw milk, why does the government stop them?

But if two gay guys want to have their poo packed and have a 17 times greater chance of getting anal cancer, the government does not say a word.

Same as you can push your wifeys poo


"In a study that looked at risk factors for anal HPV infection in women, risk was increased in younger women and in those who had more than 5 sexual partners in their lifetime. Ever having anal sex also increased risk."

Yours, not others.

Not sure what you mean by that?

I believe everyone should be able to live their life without government intrusion.

But the truth is the government is going to have their nose in whatever we do.

Whether it is two guys packing each others poo, or a local farmer selling eggs on the side of the road, the government is going to interfere.

You're not fooling anyone. You only want the government out of your life. Not out of others.

I can agree with that, but homosexuality is not even close to the same as a farmer selling eggs.

TH. Do you understand that gays have normal dating lives? They don't just have anal sex all day everyday.

That is not true.

Pursuit of happiness is a basic human right.

Whether it is living with someone of the same sex, or having a small farm, we have a right to be happy.

Those examples you list have the potential to harm others, the sale of food items are regulated for many valid reasons. If you don't believe me, go read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle Book", which helped spur food regulation at the federal level here in the US.

Anyway, the marriage of two consenting gay adults does NOT.

What group has the highest rates of HIV?

What group has the highest rates of anal cancer?

We have a right to make decisions for our own health. Whether it is smoking, drinking, eating fatty food, or eating yard eggs,,, we should have that right without government interference.

How can you say the sale of raw milk should be regulated, but gay male sex should be left alone?

Which one poses the greater risk to human health, Listeria or HIV?

So if heterosexuals had the highest rates of STIs, Heterosexual sex should be illegal?

Uh no.

But if vaccinated children had the highest rates of infection, the government would take some kind of action. Maybe even passing laws to force parents to vaccinate their children.

Oh wait,,,,,.

See there, it is a double standard.

Gay men have the highest rates of HIV, the government does nothing.

Raw milk and unvaccinated children have a high rate of illness, and the government passes laws.

You realize you just advocated banning/making it illegal for people from being gay?? I mean, what other laws could you pass to prevent these gross gay men from giving each other the HIV?

Maybe give your pal Putin a call, I think you guys share a common interest of riding shirtless on horses.

I am saying there is a double standard when it comes to public health.

How can the government restrict the sale of raw milk between consenting adults, but do nothing when it comes to gay male sex?

It's not a double standard if they aren't even remotely similar in nature.

Also, anyone else wonder why he hasn't mentioned lesbians once?

Why do you expect the government to stay out of your own personal business, but expect them to get involved in the personal business of others?

You know, comparing a homophobe to a crying baby isn't as bad a comparison as it first appears.

Also, anyone else wonder why he hasn't mentioned lesbians once?

The same as happened on other TH threads. Methinks he likes his lesbian porn, so he doesn't want them to go away.

How is spreading disease not similar?

I can not even sell baby chicks or eggs on the side of the road without a permit. Much less sale raw milk when I get a goat or cow.

But 25+ years we have had an HIV epidemic and the government has done nothing.

If this was the flu or something spread by raw milk, the government would take some kind of action. But since HIV is a sexually transmitted disease, the government is hands off.

Because some lesbians are hot.

I like women, lesbians like women, so we have something in common.

Because the first effects EVERYBODY. Young, old, white, black, poo packer (as you like to call them) or straight. These people have a right to purchase and consume healthy food.

Being gay is a life style, not a consumer good. What would you propose then to fix this "problem" in the gay community? Ban what? Pass what law??
 
You know this isn't bad. If anything it is good. The only part I find disturbing is the possibility of people being sued over refusing to administer services, which they should be free to refuse, being as everyone knows homosexuality is serious bad mojo in many belief systems. Live and let live already.

HIV epidemic? Do you live in the 90s?
