Ok so there is a picture of an Oreo cookie with rainbow in-between than below that a picture of a regular Oreo with white in the middle. The caption say something to the effect that there is no surprise they hated black and white couples as well.

I have heard this black and white argument before have you come across this as well? How do you argue against this reasoning?

I can only repeat the excellent advice of others and point out that mainstream Christianity does not hate homosexuals (although we must concede our forefathers have not always acted properly towards homosexuals) and that while an interracial union is the same as a non-interracial union a homosexual union is not the same as a heterosexual union.

Exactly right. All wearing of wedding rings should be banned. No more references in public to “my husband,” or to “my wife.” No insurance benefits for married partners.

This heterosexual agenda…

Oh, sorry. I really must get that dyslexia looked at. You weren’t talking about the heterosexual agenda.

Ok I have to admit this gave me a chuckle. And to a certain extent I agree, its unfair to condemn homosexuals because they are media savvy.

But lets think about things from another perspective. Let’s suppose that instead of the GLBT community using these tactics you had a militantly evangelistic Christian group. Every time you turn on the television, radio, open a flyer or apparently open a box of cookies you find yourself bombarded with the messages of this community. Wouldn’t you be a little annoyed? Most people can’t even stand when the LDS go door to door, let alone being awash in a sea of LDS propaganda. That’s where a lot of individuals here are coming from.

No more Oreos for me.

As far as the black/white comparison, that is completely wrong, and it’s not just a Catholic issue. From our Jewish neighbors:

Gay people have and will continue to live however they want - who’s stopping them? I don’t care about any of my neighbors’ sex lives. THAT is the message for everyone. But I would appreciate if gays got their agenda out of my face.

Peace,

Here is the issue.
  1. Gay marriage supporters put same-sex marriage on the ballot and it was voted down wherever it appeared. So, the people don’t want it.

False. Your source is lying to you and so is shown to be unreliable. Arizona Proposition 107 in 2006 was voted down 48.2% to 51.8%. See 2006 Results. Presenting easily checked false information does not make you look good. I suggest that you do more fact checking in future when using information from that source.
My point is if most of the hundreds of millions of Americans are against it, you get a handful of judges and and business owners to endorse it. Giving the illusion that everyone is for it.

Nor is everyone against it. None of the ballots have ever shown 100% in favour of retaining traditional marriage. The US appears to be roughly evenly split, with most ballots coming within a few percent difference, like the 2006 and 2008 Arizona ballots and the California Proposition 8 ballot. The current US split is around 50-50, with probably a narrow majority against gay marriage.

Nice bit of wordplay but it will get you nowhere. I read on a few occasions where gay marriage supporters were trying to convince Americans that more were actually in support, however, when it came time to cast their votes, apparently, most just stayed home.

You have no idea which sources I used. None.

Wordplay? You said, " It [Gay Marriage] was defeated on every state ballot." That was wrong, as I showed with the figures from the 2006 Arizona ballot. Your source was incorrect.

And we all know that everything we read anywhere is always correct. Especially on the internet. 🙂

Indeed I don’t. However, those sources were passing you false information. That much is obvious, otherwise you would not have made the incorrect claim.

And if inter-racial marriage was ever brought to the voting booth in the 1960’s it would have failed too, which is why Loving v. Virginia settled that issue. The fact that a majority would vote against extending civil rights to a minority doesn’t really make a case for not extending those rights to that minority.

Perhaps, but there is no civil right that guarantees every sexual predilection be esteemed equally with normative sexuality. Even from a secular point of view, society is under no obligation to acknowledge homosexual behavior legally. From a moral point of view, we will have much to answer for if while explaining to God that his concept of love and family hasn’t kept pace with the times.

That is a false comparison and I think you know that. As I heard a black woman say: “I know black people who used to be gay but I don’t know any that used to be black.”

This is not a civil rights issue.

The whole black issue is a silly comparison. Black (or any race) is not something one does.

Could you change which gender you are attracted to? I have yet to meet someone who could. Most people kind of go “eww” when they consider it. Because of that, I would say being straight or gay is very much like being black or white in that it’s not something that people have the ability to change.

That is a question which has not been addressed. To some extent, I would think it possible. In any case, attraction is not what is being addressed. It is the sexual act one commits based on that attaction that is the problem. Pedophiles can be attracted to little kids. That does not mean their crimes are the same as being black.
 
Get a grip. It’s a cookie and it’s not even a very good cookie, stripes or no stripes.

Typically American, all about sex, politics and too much sugar. That’s all a good number of Americans think about.

It comes back to the nature of marriage.

A black man and a white woman are still one man and one woman.

Contraception has blinded society as to the nature of marriage and why the state has a vested interest in keeping it between one man and one woman.
