[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 223136, member: 9491"] To argue that the majority is against anything does not matter in the USA. We are not ruled by majority (mob) rules. We are a democratic Republic. We set laws in this country. Yes, in a democratic republic, the majority will of the people does matter on most issues, but not on all issues. So what if the majority of the country is against it. In the early 1800's the majority thought that black people were not considered people and they owned them. Was that a good thing? As far as the state of Mass not being able to vote on the matter. You are incorrect. The people of Mass voted in their reps in the house and the senate to represent their intrests. There was indeed a vote. If the people did not like the vote of their rep, then use your power to vote them out. People are not claiming that people are ignorant on the topic. They are argueing that they are ignorant on the feelings of gay people. Yes, gay people can choose to act on their feelings, just like heterosexuals can do the same. [B]I just want to aks all the people that believe that having sexual desires for the same sex one question. [/B]Can you tell the rest of the people on the board the day that you decided that the opposite sex turned you on? Since you believe that being gay is a choice, then being a heterosexual must also be a choice. Therfore, you must remember the day that you decided to be turned on by a person of the opposite sex. I would think such an incredibly important decision would be memorable. In addition, I would assume that if it is a choice, you could change your mind tomorrow if you would like. I can tell you this for a fact. I persoanlly never made the choice to be a heterosexual. I have always been attracted to the opposite sex. I have been attracted to the opposite sex since day one and I will never be attracted to the same sex, because I do not have the choice to be attracted to the opposite sex.:cool: [/QUOTE]
