You don't want Catholics to be forced to do things counter to their supposed beliefs. So you demand that the rest of us live according to Catholic doctrine?

And yes, you're a bigot. Look it up. If that bothers you, stop acting like one.

Yeah, but Catholics aren't allowed to discriminate by segregating their churches. We have to follow the laws to make our schools safe, follow fire codes and safety regulations, for example. If we Catholics run hospitals or universities, we should not be allowed to discriminate against gays or to deny reproductive rights. If we did, then we'd be demanding special rights. On top of that, Catholic institutions want federal money for those hospitals and schools. If Catholic institutions accept such money, then Catholic institutions must stop discrimination. Even if those institutions don't take federal or state money, there is no right to discriminate.

Agreed. But why should someone's rights to practice their religion the way they see fit be infringed to mollify you?

Well as long as you don't practice your religion on other people, there isn't a problem.

So you don't want gay people to do stuff my DH and I do every day? How hypocritical is that?

Sorry. I have many friends who are gay. I have been to their commitment ceremonies. I have a gay uncle. I believe gays are born gay just as heterosexuals are born heterosexual. I am not homophobic. I do, however, believe that a large segment of the gay lobby is looking for special rights in that they will not stop until they have pushed a total acceptance homosexuality without regard to an individual's religious or moral beliefs. It so happens that many of may gay friends acknowledge this, also. Are they also, homophobic?

Please list the special rights that they want that you do not have. I'm drawing a blank.

Not the PP, but I have bolded one part of his statement that is very true. That IS pushing for special rights. In addition, those who identify as the opposite sex want this covered by insurance (and with ObamaCare, that's on us). They also want fertility treatments covered, even though, biologically, they are infertile because they have the same internal and external sex organs, not because there is a true medical issue.

I have no issue with homosexuality. I do have an issue when liberals, homosexual or not, call people bigots if they choose to believe homosexuality is wrong.

If you treated homosexuals as equals, it wouldn't be such an issue. But you don't.

It wasn't me that created DOMA. It was Clinton

f conservatives were logical they would support gay marriage. It infringes on nobody's rights, nor does it threaten the security of the state.

If conservatives were logical they would not have opposed the mosque near the WTC. There is no logic to it.

If conservatives were logical, 79% of them would not harbor racist opinions. Racism is illogical. it is economically and biologically counterproductive.

If conservatives were logical they would not be so afraid of science. They would criticize research according to the scientific method and not based on the result.

If conservatives were logical they would pick VP candidates based on their skill and not looks. Logical Republicsns should show up based on talent not sex appeal.

If conservatives were logical they would be our mist vigorous advocates for birth control. It is the most effective clnstitutionally permissible means to reduce abortion.

When you try to influence government policy based on your religious beliefs, you are overstepping.

I see no reason why my civil rights should be infringed just to mollify you.

Big law firms. Where everyone on this board who works works.

And yes, you're a bigot. Look it up. If that bothers you, stop acting like one.

I posted the question. However, I have posted few comments on this thread--and I am not the one you are responding to. It amazes me how some people here think there are only two people writing.

Yet, you believe your "civil rights" trump someone's religious beliefs.

You also do not have the right to use your narrow, bigoted religious beliefs to limit my civil rights.

Sorry, this is unmitigated horseshit.

You have every right to believe what you like. What you don't have is the right to have everyone think you're a decent human being. You sound pretty ignorant, as well as bigoted. You have every right to cling to your revolting positions as the rest of society passes you by. I wish you well in your future endeavors.
