You implied it in your statements. You should select your language a bit better. Because again, gay men being more promiscious as a whole(which I do acceot as truth) should not have any effect on the rights of the non-promiscious gay men to get married to their mate
Maybe you should learn to read what is posted and not make assumptions based on your own prejudices. Now unless you can quote where I posted ALL gay men are promiscuous you are totally out of line assuming I even think all gay men are promiscuous.
Science has yet to take the time or spent the money to prove that homosexuality is genetic. All studies so far have been superficial, disproved or questioned, and have not empirically proven anything. Therefore until you can empirically prove that homosexuality is genetic like race then you do not have a foundation that gay unions are a civil rights issue. The right to marry is established by law by each state, therefore each state defines who can and cannot marry.
Never said it was completely genetic, maybe you should stop burning that strawman. I said it plays an influence, as numerous numerous studies of twins have shown.
ANd if you knew anything about science at all, all studies are questioned.
You can't make a post without being obnoxious and hateful can you? What makes you think I don't know anything about science? You are the one who is making assertions based on anecdotal studies that ignore personality, which has been shown to have a genetic componant as well as being influenced by environment and experience.
The depth of studies I provided all supported my genetic and hormonal combination hypothesis. Is everything copmplete? No. But we are fast getting their. Of course you want an impossible standard to be met because science never "proves" anything, but rather rejects or fails to reject a hypothesis.
Tell that to the people who write science textbooks that state evolution is a scientific fact, that the earth is billions of years old, and etc. None of the available scientific studies come close to showing homosexuality is genetic. Now if you have something other than anecdotal evidence post a link to that evidence. BTW, all your pyschological studies are anecdotal.
herefore until you can empirically prove that homosexuality is genetic like race then you do not have a foundation that gay unions are a civil rights issue
.
WHat is your definition of civil rights issue?
Any right granted any human being under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, which does not govern the issuance of licenses.
Also, even if homosexuality is 100% choice, it bears no relevance. As there is no logical reason to deny gay marriage in the first place.
That is your opinion.
The U.S. Constitution gives legislative power to the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Constitution also limits the power of the Supreme Court as the Congress shall dictate.
WIthin the limits of its specified jurisdictions
You better reread the Constitution.
Your argument concerning hospital visitations and right of inheritance is weak since a properly executed living trust, power of attorney, and last will and testament can enforce the expressed will of the infirm and the deceased. Where you have probate judges ignoring properly executed last will and testaments you have a judiciary out of control.
You fail to grasp the point A) Any of those can be contested by the next of kin B) You are forcing a class of people to go to extra lengths to get inferior legal status that isnt even valid in every state. C) Inheritance money is double taxed if one is not married. Even with a last will and testement the law de facto creates a series of second class citizens by denying marriage to homosexual couples.
Point A applies to any will written by anyone regardless of sexual orientation. Point B and C are in the process of being eliminated with the elimination of inheritance taxes and apply to any person who comes before a probate judge who allows prejudice to override his/her legal authority.
