[Durham INC] Anti-Gay is as Anti-Gay Does

[John Martin]

Christine,
Thanks for that emotional little screed.  I think you've just laid to rest any question of whether you're anti-gay or not.  
As an educator, you might try improving your reading skills.  I did not compare being gay to being black.  I merely compared the argument of racists to your arguments.  They sound remarkably similar.

The gay agenda will continue to offend  when you compare being gay 
to being black.  You can't come up with anything on your own, so you 
piggy-back on other causes.  
You
 want to redefine marriage for me, and I will not have it.  Next we'll 
have people wanting to add marriage to horses, dogs... there was a guy 
in Raleigh arrested for having sex with a horse.  Hey... he loved the 
horse!  Where does it stop?  How about those who love sex with children?
Redefining marriage is a bad idea. Christine Chamberlain

Christine,
George Wallace was elected governor of Alabama in 1962  with the slogan, "segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."   When people accused him of being racist, he used to say that he had never said anything negative about another person because of their race or color.  And some of his best friends were colored people, and blah, blah, blah.   
Yours is an old and tiresome argument.  I don't care at all what your personal "feelings" are about gay people or anyone else for that matter.  But when you defend legal arrangements that make it harder for a whole category of people to live their lives as they see fit, you shouldn't be surprised if they think you're against them.  Because, of course, you are.
John
