as a mom to two children who attend sassy feet dance studio who was there that night, i wanted to correct your headline a little bit… she was not in the woodlands mall, she was at the kuykendahl/2920 location. regardless of your political views, please be mindful that children know how to use the internet, and if they attend this studio this is on of the many sites that pops up… so please be kind. thanks so much! :)

@C. Darwin: Sounds like you’re probably still pissed off about emancipation.

If you don’t agree with gay marriage, you will be bullied until you do. It’s their way or the highway. Tolerance only goes one way. Their way.

To be provided the same treatment under the law isn’t special rights; it is equal rights!

@commonsense –
Clarification: You don’t answer questions that are direct, clear and that would expose your flawed and hypocritical rhetoric.
It’s not that the question is “dumb.” It’s the answer you don’t like. Accountability is a b*tch.

P.S. Even people that are allowed marry, still have to Qualify to marry. They still have to show they’re not related, they still have to show they’re of proper age, they have to show there is only one spouse, and in some places they have to pass a blood test. So, the Qualification of marriage having to be between a man and a woman is the least restrictive and the one that makes most sense… and has nothing to do with civil rights.

Facts don’t matter when you’re closed-minded. It’s easier to spew hate than to accept reality or to engage in thoughtful, informed discussion.
Commonsense says gays may not be a “recognized and legitimate minority” but we have laws in this country that preclude discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (aka those ‘flamboyantly annoying’ people who are the most ‘exclusionary that exist..’) That’s not special treatment, it’s just the right thing to do. I’m thankful these laws exist because of people like commonsense.

“Marriage like driver’s license is a privilege, NOT a right”

Wrong again.. Here’s some “facts” for you
_
_
1967- United States Supreme court. Unanimous Decision that made it unconstitutional for states to ban interracial marriage. The court ruled that Virginia’s anti-miscegenation statute violated both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In its decision, the court wrote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia

Here’s a quote from the very supreme court statement!

“Marriage is one of the “basic civil rights of man,” fundamental to our very existence and survival…. To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State’s citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.”

since you have difficulty reading, I’ll quote the important part again.
“Marriage is one of the “basic civil rights of man,”

And to further sink it home, since I assume youre a strict constitutionalist. Here is the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clauses.

I don’t answer dumb or rhetorical questions.

What you people peddle as “facts” are still merely your opinions.

To add to my points… Equating gay rights to civil rights is a good PR stunt, but are light years apart. Marriage like driver’s license is a privilege, NOT a right, and gays are not a recognized and legitimate minority, therefore there IS NO fight for rights, your’s is a right for SPECIAL TREATMENT. And that just doesn’t pass the smell test.

Regarding @texpat’s question #74: “If sexuality is a mental condition then I ask again, when did you choose yours? If you didn’t then why do you think others do?”
I believe the fact that the question was never answered and blatantly avoided by the individual to whom it was directed tells you everything you need to know.
We can only hope he holds his breath until he passes out.

A vote huh? I bet you consider yourself a conservative too. Well, the Constitution protects the minority from the tyranny of the majority. That should be a true conservative ideal. Never before have someone’s rights been put to a vote and that vote stood the test of time. It is also only a matter of time before those votes are ruled unconstitutional as they should be. DOMA is already doomed.

You have presented no facts. You just move from one uninformed statement to another. You lack the coomon sense you espouse in your mischosen monniker.
