Love is love, and it is a fundamental human right to be able to choose who you love and be with that person legally

Denying someone the right to marry the person they love simply because of their gender is a form of discrimination. And we know from history that discrimination is never the right way to go. Just imagine if people were denied the right to marry based on their race or religion! That would be unacceptable. So why should we deny someone the right to marry based on their sexual orientation? That's just wrong.

What do you think is the biggest obstacle that the LGBTQ+ community faces when it comes to achieving full equality?

True rights never entitle anyone to anything. Homosexual sodomists are demanding that the rest of society be forced to accept their so-called "marriages" – they think they are entitled to that. But all true rights do is protect individuals from force and encroachment. A right to life, for example, is a right not to be murdered, a right to liberty, a right not to be enslaved, a right to property, a right not to be stolen from, (among other related crimes). Whereas no one is using force on homosexuals by refusing to recognise their perverse activities as "marriage" &nd…  Read more

You do not understand what a right is and conflating your misunderstanding of your own religion with your rights as an American citizen. Furthermore, your understanding of your religion has clearly instilled in you a sense of rage against your human brothers for no reason other than it's not how you live your life. Being gay is not immoral, but using your fear of gay people to speak down on them and deny them peace as you are is.

Gays Aren't allowed in my country said TRUMP

A "right to sodomy" is actually a right to not be arrested or punished for engaging in otherwise lawful, mutually consensual, intercourse. It's an extension of freedom from undue state interference. Ergo, your point doesn't apply there.

"True rights never entitle anyone to anything"

Seriously? Of course they do! Do our rights not entitle us the freedom of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? Same sex marriage fall under all of those, and we should not be restricted just because some people are a-holes.

It is weird and unnatural.

 @B3C3HQL from Utah  disagreed…1yr1Y

I believe it is weird an unnatural for you to be so caught up in making others miserable.

So what if two women are getting married?

How does this effect YOU?

 @B6K9PKWProgressive from Illinois  disagreed…10mos10MO

Then don't have a same-sex marriage. Leave YOUR beliefs out of the lives of others.

To you as a straight person it might be but to a homosexual its not. And its actually quite natural.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
