Geuss what, you big dummy, traditional families aren't actually being discriminated against.

Normal families have the advantage of being "normal" or simply being a family.

I'm also confident that there are many companies out there that cater to needy families.

Yes, quite true! Private companies they may be, but they still require the public to function!

This definitely does hurt the cause, so to speak. If you want a minority group to be assimilated into the majority group, you have to seem like you fit in with the norm. You can't violate literally every single social norm followed by the majority group and expect them to want you to fit in. It's the gay guy wearing a suit and tie that needs to be the spokesman. Not the nearly nude man dancing down the street with butterfly wings and a wand.

How do traditional families need help? They are in a favourable position.

I'm honestly curious about a statement like this.


The fact that you call them "normal" says it all, really.

Sick of talking about gay people.. Im not Christian, i dont believe in religion but that is totally the ANTICHRIST... With the same sex you cant make children soo is against nature but make people understant that is becoming hard.

Keep going, in the future you all gonna open your EYES.



antichrist is a christian only term so why are you bringing it up if you're not christian

years from now, people will look back and laugh at the fundamentalist nutjobs idiots who opposed gay marriage, just like those who opposed interacial marriage based on the bible back in the day

the only argument against gay marraige is religious, and as we all know, the christian bible supports slavery, genocide, misogyny, infanticide, and other things, so let's not derive morals from the bible.....

OMG. The whole definition of marriage is male and female not male male or female female or dog dog or rabid hamster ninjitsu monkey badger raper. Gay marriage is a contradiction of what marriage is ment to be. I got nothing against gay its just they always seem to be the jealous sibling always wanting to get in on what ther other one has but that their no ment to have. Marriage should stick to its meaning of male and female!!!

Heh. Do they really do this? I know about gay parades and how extravagant some have been, but I think this is ludicrous ( although they certainly have the right to express themselves in such a manner, it really doesn't help their cause ). Then again, if they claim this is how they always behave ( the extravagant ones ), I really don't know what to say. What you see is what you get?

Maybe they'll (the extravagant) just be like Westboro, but different.

One way to look at this is the more Hindu approach to it than the Buddhist-like approach. What does not really matter is the intent, but the impact instead.

Definitions can change. A relevant example is the word 'gay'. Just be open to change.

I totally agree with this. Equality is a terrible, terrible concept.

Damn those jealous gay people for wanting to have the same right as other human beings!

In the Netherlands, gays celebrate their new rights and freedoms, with an extravagant anual parade. That is what it is, a celebration. It is also a big fuck you to the few homophobes that still exist here. It is harmless and quite fun for them I imagine.

I don't think the man with the wand and butterfly wings is trying to be a spokesman.

Thats not a very nice thing to tell me but aside from that Im not sure why you are mad at me because there will be counter protests since Google made a big deal about this campaign.

I think he was making a metaphor anyway

Yeah and I think how they celebrate may be odd, but people should be welcoming of their behaviour since they are not, technically, harming anybody. Of course public nudity is a big no no!

However, such behaviour might be detrimental to their cause though. But as I said, it's a display of "What you see is what you get."

Meant by whom? As defined by whom? This idea that you have an objective truth which is self evident to you but which you cannot share the logical source of is quite frustrating. It's a concept created by the human mind and you only speak for one human mind. Marriage for you doesn't necessarily have to mean the same thing as it does for somebody else and if you fundamentally disagree with the idea of a gay marriage that much then I suggest that you don't marry a man. Interfering with the marriage of two other people who may have a completely different definition of marriage to yours is a massive encroachment on their personal liberty. You don't own marriage.
