At least that's honest.

All of my answers were straightforward and "at least" honest. Yours were not. You automatically rule out disagreement about your physical arguments as not straightforward or not honest, which is a dishonest comment in and of itself.

You are entitled to yours, however it becomes a problem when you force others to live by that belief, while accusing your opponents of doing that. I don't want to give my blessing to homosexuality and you seek to force the majority of Americans who share this view to do just that. That is a big problem, in addition to the problem of your promotion of homosexuality. Those are two big problems that you create.
As for blacks and whites, well there was a time when we burned witches too, however none of this discussion about race or witchcraft is germane to the present debate.

What's wrong is wrong. Consenting adults can still do the wrong thing.

They lost the money. I believe that legally it is no longer their's. So one can legally take that money. It's the difference of values which determines what people can do, even when they have legal rights to do what is wrong. Two men having sex with each other are destroying the society which I live in. All citizens have a say in how their society will be run. I choose to use my voice to prevent its destruction, you choose yours to allow the erosion of this society's decency and quality.
