Do the homosexuals are forbidden to go in some restaurants? No
Are they forbidden to practice jobs they want because it's too "good" for their status? No
Do they have an education seperated from other people (white people in apartheid)? No
And I could carry on the list.
What is this, kindergarden? How is that supposed to make a difference lol?
Via that reasoning people could say
"Are african amercians being burned in furnaces? No.
Are they being worked to death in work camps? No.
Is their land being stolen and them stuffed in reservations whre they`re doomed to slow cultural extintion? No.
And the list goes on.
So Rosa should STHU and get to the back of the bus cos she can be happy she isnt a jew in the 20th century or a native american in the 19th or whatever."
Come to think of it, why did the us brake away from the british empire? Were they treated like the black slaves they kept? No. What gives then? Totally uncalled for eh?
I mean wth lol? We are talking about universal principles. You gonna tell your kid when he gets beaten up at school that he should be happy in his place cos while he did get a weggie, he got to keep his lunchmoney unlike someone else? I dont think so lol.
Oh yes I forgot it's the racing to which minority earns the most demands. Doesn't matter whether those demands are valid or ridiculous, it's just a matter of being even free-er than the "majority" in the end. As your post shows, there is apparently NO difference between apartheid and asking for gay mariage while civil union is available, between death camps of extermination and possibility to adopt a child for gay couples. My my...My God, what world are we living into?

I don't have anything else to say but facepalm at this post of yours.
"Racism", "discriminating", "homophobia", "freedom [of speech]", "stigmatization", "fascism", "socialism", "seculiraty", "democracy" and "human rights" are among the most wrongly used and sense-twisted words nowadays. One can wonder whether people they realize that they use it that wrongly, or not. I hope they do realize it...

I suppose the "likes of you" as you define me, is composed from the ones agreeing with current state of things like me (civil union only)

It's not exactly like mariage.
By that I don't mean name is different, but content isn't same.

The point is that they could be able to live officially in couple, right?
Civil union enables it.

Leg Apophis wrote:@everyone talking about discriminations:
If we enable homosexuals to marry, why couldn't we allow marriages with animals as well? Or inside close family ones just like they did in old time (like during Roman Empire)? There are countries where such practices aren't forbidden by law...so it could be applied there...and where would we put the limit? What would mariage mean then? Would we have same definition as those countries have? Those are questions to consider. Because you know...if you say it's different case, then you contradict yourself from your arguements to counter mines when I said that apartheid is different from this issue. While this arguement I just brought is less different than two different issues. In absolute, there shouldn't be limits for some people's thoughts, but we have to find where the limits are. Not too strict, not too loose. And with different opinions about those limits, it's hard to find out best one, because different opinons think differently.
I prefered not commenting about women not allowed to vote arguement because it was ridiculous to be compared with the issue here. Homos & heteros can vote and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

why?
doesn't france pride itself on it's liberalism?
to the point of opressing religious beliefs in it's sake?
then why not allow same sex marriege?

as for animals:
as long as there is no way to show consent on part of the animal, i can't see how can they marry.
as for family members:
totally irrelevent.
as for the meaning of marriage:
how exactly would that change?
as for all of the above:
"because then we will have to allow it for everyone" has to be the worst excuse ever to deprive someone of his happinnes.
as for the voting argument:
i'm stomped. i can't defeat vulontary ignorance.

Not only homosexuals are gay...otherwise it would be a sad world, if only gays were gay. Would mean us straight people would be sad (or unhappy or whatever).

Well, many straight people are gay and many gays aren't gay.![]()
