seek consoling.
tens of thousand's of years of human history has defined marriage as between man and woman. Even secular counties like Japan and China.
To call the 90%+ of people that don't have a problem with the opposite sex crazy is rich.
Your side created the division. Not the other side. The other side's definition of marriage like stated before has been sent for generation. You wanted it changed. Congrats you won. You however dragged the country through the mud to do it.
I have refrained from participating in this SSM debate up until my post here just because of the inevitable bigoted and hateful responses to my opinion like yours is.
First off, if I need to
"seek consoling" that's what my partner of almost 25 years is there for. For the sake of argument though, let's assume you meant I should
"seek COUNSELING."
What exactly do I need counseling for? And who would provide to me the services I need? Westboro Baptist Church? Wouldn't I burst into flames if I even stepped on their property for their brand of brainwashing, since their cult leader and hallowed ground there is supposedly so sacred and holy? Should I go to a shrink? The American Psychiatric Association no longer recognizes homosexuality as a psychological disorder they should be treating. Or should I say, mistreating, since all the worst horrors of psychiatry, like electroshock therapy, trepanation and castration have been routinely used to "cure" homosexuality. Of course, most of the patients eventually died in the process, but they sure were cured after they killed them!
So turning to counseling from the very groups who demonize gays because they are hateful bigots, like some churches and psychiatrists, is probably a bad idea and won't help me a whole lot. And what am I needing help for again? How about the social stigma and false stereotypes placed on gays from people just like yourself? It sure sounds like you need the counseling, not me. I'm fine with who I am. I am not fine with your bigoted false presumptions of who I am, and slapping me in the face with your holy writ and arbitrary laws because it. The law should not be used to arbitrarily discriminate against anyone solely based on your holy writ. PERIOD. If you can't see the folly of this legal position by just looking at the various Middle Eastern and African countries where they still legally burn witches and stone wives to death just to get a fast divorce, then I really can't help you further, and you need to move to another country who can.
Secondly,
"tens of thousand's of years of human history has defined marriage as between man and woman" where the woman in question was considered the man's personal PROPERTY. The woman also had no right of inheritance as personal property, and when the man died, his property either went to his first son or an uncle. So are you implying marriage should once again be defined with women being your personal property, too? These marriage practices are still common in the Middle East and Africa, maybe you should move there?
Thirdly,
"To call the 90%+ of people that don't have a problem with the opposite sex crazy is rich." I did not say that, you did. And I assure you your numbers are WAY off and don't even include the fact people are biologically bisexual (just like the primates) or they have had bisexual relationships or urges, and they simply hide it from their mates when they do. But this bisexual phobia points right back to the religious stigmas attached to sexuality again. Which is why most religious leaders, monks and nuns are not allowed to marry at all, and forced to abstain from sex entirely to try to remove all those dirty sexual urges a mate might create and interfere with religious bondage and servitude. You can only serve one master and stuff, remember that?
Fourthly,
"Your side created the division. Not the other side." Nothing could be further from the truth, but to a bigoted blind hypocrite, anything that pops out of your mouth completely bypassing your brain must be the holy truth. MY SIDE never passed ANY laws prohibiting male and female marriages. But YOUR SIDE also passed other discriminatory marriage laws prohibiting mixed race marriages, remember those? When most of the original marriage license laws in states were passed, they also included prohibiting mixed races AND the fact marriage was to be between a man and a woman. And many of these original marriage license laws are hundreds of years old now.
Fifthly,
"You wanted it changed." I NEVER personally advocated ANY political gay marriage agenda ANYWHERE. I also NEVER started a conversation about gay marriage to ANYONE who was STRAIGHT EVER. However, I DID have MANY straight people (and many of those were MARRIED), START A CONVERSATION ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE TO ME. Let that sink in to your troglodyte brain for a few seconds.
The STRAIGHT people started conversations about GAY MARRIAGE TO ME just because they knew I was GAY. And the ones who started the conversations about it, were also overwhelmingly in support of it, even if they didn't condone a gay lifestyle. Let that sink in to your troglodyte brain for a few more seconds.
Sixthly,
"Congrats you won. You however dragged the country through the mud to do it." What did I win? So you are mad because a discriminatory marriage law based on religious intolerance was deemed to be discriminatory against people who don't believe in the same holy writ that you do? And how is political religious conservatives making same sex marriage a political lightning bolt just to get votes from hateful bigots like yourself somehow warped and twisted into the gays dragging the country through the mud? The gays NEVER asked to be vilified and crucified over same sex marriage just as a means to get political tyrants elected to office. But I guess you also missed the memo on that, just like all the rest of your stereotyped gay misconceptions.
