How will anti-gay/anti-gay-marriage activists look in 40-50 years?
Back before and through the 1960s, anyone arguing against the rights of racial minorities to have the same rights as white people would be considered commonplace, and wouldn't be in too much of a minority in their thoughts and opinions. Signs like "Stop Interracial Marriage!" and "Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!" being marched up and down the Mall would not be that strange.
These days (most) people look back at those people and see them as bigots and just terrible people with terrible ideals when it comes to racial issues.
Similarly, do you think that the same will happen in 40-50 years when the US has completed its swing towards being "okay" with gay marriage that it's currently in the process of? Do you think that people will look back at those who protest against Gay Marriage in the same vein as the racists of the 1960s? Do you think that signs that read things like "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" or "Homosexuality is unnatural! Vote no on gay marriage!" will seem equally as ridiculous as the concept of "Separate but equal."?
What're your thoughts on the issue? Will anti-gay/anti-gay-marriage activists be seen as equally the level of bigots as the racist, anti-minority activists of pre-1960s America?
Will hindsight reveal a closer parallel between the two than even we ourselves can fathom now?

2 답변작성자: Magical Robot 3/13/2013 7:49:40 AMPersonally, I think it is gross, weird and creepy. But! I believe it is their right to do so, and they are not hurting anyone other than themselves if at all. It's a life choice. What I will not stand for, is my hard work paying for treatment to STD's. I am not responsible for others life choices. (any consequences like smoking or what have you included) That also means I expect to be responsible for my life choices. Just because I drink a lot of coffee, does not mean they should pay the bill.

6 답변작성자: George S Patton 3/13/2013 9:48:15 PMGay "Rights" =/= Black rights You guys always make it seem like one side of the argument is full of bigots. You an make an argument against gay marriage from the bible, but you cant make one for racial segregation. Quit acting like their the same ting, you dirty pagan heathens.

10 답변Hopefully gays will get their own country or something so it wont be a big deal. Im not hating on them since im very goodlooking. Obviously a lot of gay dudes give me attention, so I know a few personally. I feel like the gay rights people, and the flamboyant gays, give the "movement" a bad name. Is it just me? Like, can you just be gay and try to live a normal life where everyone desont have to know youre gay. There are striahgt people for instance who make out in public, not everyone accepts it just because theyre straight. Like can you be a normal lesbian girl, and dress in normal clothes. You don't have to be a lesbian and also wish you were a guy, you know what I'm saying, dressing in baggy clothes and having unnatractive body weight. This is all my opinion, nothing to get upset over. My also opinion is that gays and black prejudice can't be compared. Lol really. Gays have never went through the trauma black people went through, ok. In our society today, there is no gay segregation, or anything crazy like that. The worst that will happen to someone for being gay is getting called a phaggot, but that happens to straight guys too!! Haha go figure. Any guy will be called gay for doing things that are lame My friends call me gay when I go to a girls house and end up not having sex. It's life, that's just my opniion though. But I'm from California. So maybe in other states there is legit hatred for gays. Here in Cali people think it's gross or weird, but no one complains, you know what I'm saying?! CLIFF NOTES TOO LONG DIDNT READ - Never was gay segregation - Don't compare gays to blacks - Gays are fine with me just don't parade around about it, that's what gives gays a bad name in my opinion

7 답변Reminder: Marriage is a practice that has been used in multiple religions under different names. If gays truly wanted equal rights as heterosexual couples, they would be fighting for the same tax benefits under Civil Unions and be fighting for heterosexual couples to get Civil Unions also. That is where it would make more sense as they would still be fighting for Equality, but there would be no separate but equal clause cause everyone could get Civil Unions, and it would keep with the notion of Separation of Church and State. But no one listens to Ian, his ideas just make too much sense for the common folk.

Using some inductive reasoning, I'm just going to assume that it'll be looked back on in similar ways to racism in the 60s. The movement of accepting homosexuals is only moving foreword, there'll be a time when they're almost completely accepted by everyone. A joyous time, that will be.

14 답변You want to know what I think. I think people completely do not understand what are actually rights, and what are just privileges.

I think history will be somewhat more kind to those folks than it has been to the racists of the 20th century. The anti-gay-marriage movement has largely had a religious motivation, which most people can understand, even if they disagree. AFAIK, the racists had no similar motivation that could be considered noble or good -- they were simply bigots.

1 답변*strokes beard of wisdom* Christians, if they hold fast to the teachings of the Bible will still see the acceptance of Gay-Marriage as a bad idea which goes against the will of God. I for one will maintain those Biblical values and I know a lot of other Christians, and Muslims as well, will remain adamant in their belief that Homosexuallity (the act of it rather than just being attracted to the same gender) is a sin.
