You CLAIM that you support legislation against only BEHAVIOR, but then when it turns out that Florida law prohibits ALL gays, regardless of "behavior" from adopting, you applaud.
Obviously, your own claimed "position" cannot be trusted as true. You contradict it at every turn! Quote: |

It is JUSTIFIED discrimination.
discrimination:
the process by which two stimuli differing in some aspect are responded to differently
If we prevent blind people from driving, that IS discrimination. JUSTIFIED discrimination with a legitimate state interest. Quote: |

That doesn't mean I don't care that the proper word is used if another word is going to avoid the entire subject altogether. Quote: |

You want to use the word "qualification" because it ASSUMES that the discrimination is justified.
I have told you that I am comfortable using the word "qualification" as long as it is not used as an attempt to ignore the 14th amendment requirements.
Predictably, you avoided responding to that. "(Gay marriage) is a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish."
