In their own eyes, how are they not "hate-filled bigots" towards those people.
Probably because their reasoning for not supporting the other causes is self-preservation, whereas they feel opposition to their cause is the result of religious/cultural bias.
Just a guess.

You cannot be serious. This is a common, inane argument.
How are the hetero only marriage crowd exempt from you "polygamy" trap? If THEY oppose polygamy now......why are you not calling THEM out?
It is a very silly argument.

Are the Gays fighting for marriage actually "hate-filled bigots?" quote: What a farce all this is. If Gays were honest about what they wanted and their real view of marriage, at least I could respect their honesty. But, they know the American people aren't ready for that. How do you fricking know what their stance is? You act as if the gays are saying "we wanna get married but frick polygamists!" And your argument about bisexuals is silly because it assumes that ALL bisexuals want to be with two partners simultaneously. This whole argument of yours is faux outrage.
How do you flicking know if I am outraged?
For what it's worth, I am not.
I am asking how gays who are not in favor of marriage for polygamists/bigamists/bixesuals NOT be either hypocrites or hate-filled bigots according to the logic being spewed by the gay-rights movement right now.
Please don't play dumb. You know that the building argument is that anyone who opposes gay marriage is a hate-filled bigot. Ok. Then are gays hate-filled bigots if they oppose other kinds of marriage. If not, then why not. And, of they are not fighting for those other kinds of marriage (if they are okay with it) then why not?

Because polygamy is illegal. What are you talking about?
The hetero-only crowd IS against polygamy.

Ok. I've got it.
Not a single "pro-gay" marriage poster on this board can answer my question.
All anyone has to say is that it is wrong for the pro-gay marriage crowd to call their opponents "hate-filled bigots."
Or, you could say that they are being hypocritical for leaving others behind in their quest for freedom.
Or, you could articulate an argument for drawing the line at gay marriage with two people.
But, not a single person in three pages was capable of doing any of that.
This whole "quest for freedom" is such a farce.

I'd ask why you care so much but then I see your handle. Gay marriage is such a non issue and pretty much inevitable at some level. Might as well take a deep breath like someone else said and throw some of your outrage at spending.

Thanks, HempHead. You are basically admitting that they are taking their position for pragmatic, not principled reasons. So, calling people who disagree "hate-filled bigots" is effectively a power play to get their way and is ultimately abusive. As soon as they get power, they will have socially destroyed all those who disagree with them, feeling that it is what their former oppressors deserve.
Just a guess.

So by allowing gay marriage, those in support "will have socially destroyed all those who disagree with them?"
What the hell are you talking about?

You can't be serious. I am talking about labeling all who disagree with the position as "hate-filled bigots."
If that sticks, as it seems to be doing, then all who oppose gay marriage will be seen as social pariahs.
My question is, then, what makes the gay NOT a hate-filled bigot if he opposes polygamy? Why do gays get to draw the line?

I can't find where you've established that a) the gay marriage crowd is against these groups or that b) these groups are even fighting for anything. All you've done is create strawmen

I missed where the entire gay community took this position. Can you enlighten me?

I don't think anyone in Alabama will make you a social pariah for not supporting gay marriage. Just a guess, though.

I'm trying to figure out if your statement re "As soon as they get power, they will have socially destroyed all those who disagree with them," is serious.

I only see you "drawing that line" between gay marriage and polygamy. You are the one that asserting there is a slippery slope between one policy decision and another.
And though I support gay marriage, I don't think you are a "hate filled bigot" for opposing it. I think you're wrong....I think many who have your position misuse religion to support your position, and I think that you are on the wrong side of history. But "hate filled?" no. Bigot? no.
I mean, what is hate filled about using religion to prevent a group of people from receiving the same civil rights that you and your wife have?

Then you have not been paying attention. That is the argument and has been for a long time.
"Don't worry. There is no slippery slope to polygamy, etc."

Seems that they are not accepting or tolerant of many opinions of others.....especially people with religion.
And let me tell you why. When you have organized religion attacking you while covering up their bullshite(catholic church shuffling child molesters around) it is hard to respect religion and not tolerant of religion.

The issue I see with homosexuals is the need to stand out from everyone else. It is this need to stand out that quite often adds or creates problems for their "lifestyle". This need to have a rainbow flag, parades, public displays of affection, often for the mere shock value and on and on. Maybe, just maybe if they blended in with the rest of society their issues may resolve.

I think it is clear from this thread that AlaTiger wants to marry multiple male and female goats and was wondering if yall are hate-filled bigots or not.
