WT did you learn to read??

If so read the article from the SF Chronicle I patiently posted for you.

Newsom is a self-appointed spokesman for the homosexual redefinition of marriage which he hopes will help give him a platform to run for CA Governor in 2010.

Incidentally, homosexuals are not discriminated against. They are subject to the same caveats re marriage as people with normal sexual drives.

He is a supporter for the right to be married to the person of one's own choosing, without defining the commitment because of sexual orientation or gender. That does not make him a spokes person for marriage, he thinks the right to marry should be extended to same sex couples.

What the devil are you talking about? They are discriminated against every day that they cannot marry their partner legally.

Exactly!!! And he is basing the future of his political career on that cause!

That's why he is the self-appointed spokesman for homosexual marriage.

This despite the fact that he took such a callous disinterest in the failure of his own brief 3 year marriage.

How appropriate that such a dismal failure should become a representative for the homosexual agenda.

Wrong.

Marriage is available to everyone on the same basis.

Are polygamists and pedophiles discriminated against?

Multiple partners is not the same as two people, and child molesters are criminals. Stop that, you are not that stupid.

And you have not backed up your position that Mayor Newsom is a spokesperson for marriage. He supports the right to not be discriminated against when committing to your partner.

Who are you to deny the polygamists' right to pursue happiness?





and child molesters are criminals.

Only until the age of consent is lowered, and that wouldn't require a Constitutional amendment.

Not so long ago homosexuals were criminals too.

Have you read the SF Chronicle piece I quoted extensively earlier in this thread?

Yes I read it Gary. Supporting the right of gays to marry doesn't make one the spokesperson. Even being an activist doesn't make one a spokesperson.

And child molesters aren't criminals because the age of consent is too high, they are criminals because they rape children. Big difference. And I said that two people have the right to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Not that a person has the right to marry 15 people. And I deny the polygamist's the right to abuse children or spouses, that is clearly not the same as two people marrying for love.

Not necessarily. In Ga, they raised the legal age of consent from 14 tto 16 recently. I personally knew a few 15 year olds that would screw anything that moved. A 17 year old was arrested and given 10 years for getting head from a consenting 15 year old girl, an act that would have been totally legal months earlier. Not every person who has sex with some loose moralled 15 year old is a "child molester". It's just illegal. Just like when I do 90 in a 55 on an empty stretch of highway, it's just illegal, but inherently dangerous in a car built to do 160? I think not.

Statutory rape and child molestation are two very different things. And horny teenagers are not what I am referring to. Most children are molested at very young ages. By the time they are in their late teens, they are acting out because of their abuse. You are quite ignorant about these issues if you can lump those examples together like that.

What is the difference? It would only be in the fringes, they can overlap quite easily.
Well if you are going to be technical, child molestation can be charged on much less than actual "rape" of a child. "Improper touching" has gotten some people falsely accused of "child molestation". And true crime should be prosecuted, but your willingness to forgo any resemblance of constitutional rights to prosecute people that have plenty of evidence to show innocence is scary.

You are the one that comes across as ignorant. Your blind hatred is obvious.

SB 470 - Crime Against Child, Statutory Rape - parole restrictions
(a) A person commits the offense of child molestation when
he or she does any immoral or indecent act to or in the
presence of or with any child under the age of 16 years
with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of
either the child or the person.

Sounds the same as statutory rape to me.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
