I mean, good for people for coming around to the correct view, but this kind of thing presents a problem, best represented by the cases of Salmon and Portman. Those guys needed a family member to come out for them to change their minds and lean toward LGBT equality. Why can't they realize, then, that there are issues that are just as personal to people who don't have the benefit of being a US lawmaker? Are they incapable of reaching even one centimeter beyond their personal view?

And I won't.  But it's not that simple. Once SSM is imposed, why can't the battle then be declared over for the gay activists?  Why do the rest of us have to be forced to approve of or have it in our faces?

In what way is it in your face?

I can't even understand how some people want to have on their tombstone, "Some people wanted to be happy. I fought like hell to make sure they couldn't."

It's on my face on TV, on the streets, in public spaces where any opposition expressed you run the risk of losing/not getting your job, being boycotted, or even receiving threats. The collectivists have created an environment where bullying is acceptable, just as long as its the Christians and gays w/ unorthodox views being ostracized and propagandized.

When I got married, was it in your face?

If not, why was it in your face when my friend, who happens to be gay, got married?

No. But you had to mention it, so it is now.

No, but you felt the need to mention it.

I'm talking about media portrayal, portrayals of opposition, and the intimidation factor

I mentioned my own marriage too. It happened a while back. It wasn't in your face then. Now my mentioning that I'm married is shoving it in your face? Are you basically against all marriage now? Is my wearing a wedding ring tacitly shoving my nuptials down your throat?

I am hurt by this subject and it is all I will say. The flaunting  life of some is something I am uncomfortable with

This is laughable.

We both know that is 100% different. There is a difference between doing it for this, and doing it for social status and media coverage and hurting Christians.

Give me an example of someone who got married to hurt Christians. Quick, don't think about it, just give me the first one that comes to your mind.

I have seen many  openly admit that they are all about making Christians feel hurt.  Our happiness and our feelings and our equality are meaningless

Ok, so give me a link or something. You must have documented some of this. Shouldn't be hard.

Don't pray for me, send money. Courting my fiance has cost tens of thousands in taxes alone. If we had run down to the JP on our first date, the government would have slashed my bill. Our relationship would be no different.

Reminds me of some debauched social custom you'd hear about in a Jane Austen novel. Congrats King. You may not have the wealth of the disgraceful landed aristocracy, but you have the apathy and disdain.

It's hilarious to hear you lecture somebody about disdain. You're made of it.

AD expresses disdain with every word he types. It drips from him.

And as for you, without any evidence, I straight up don't believe a word you've got to say about homosexual social circles talking about getting married solely to spite Christians.

Your social circles must have existed inside a Jack Chick tract.

How would your social circle react to a gay male who opposes SSM? You know the answer.

They would cast him out, rend his garments and cover him with ashes. They would yell "unclean!" and then they would go back and get gay married just to spite him. Obviously.

Try being told you deserve to be alone and deserve no happiness.

What do you think Christians (not all, but a lot) have been telling gay people basically forever?

That they believe homosexuality is a sin, but still love you as a person.

And that to be conferred with the grace of Jesus Christ, you much suppress any sexual desires you have (read: you deserve to be alone).

Use of "Gaystapo" marks him as obviously a very serious thinker.

The Gestapo was a repressive secret police that tortured and killed people. You don't get to say that people who disagree with you are like the goddamn Gestapo.

You know exactly what you're doing by invoking the Gestapo and it's disgusting.

I don't care. You know what the Gestapo was and you know exactly how the gay rights movement is not the Gestapo. I don't care if somebody else used it before. You're a coward if you're trying to hide behind that.
