"I agree completely. Giving the lgbt community a separate but equal status just deems them second class citizens. It's just saying that even though they may deserve equal rights, they are not deserving of a marriage."

"Like I said, "Any good reply can be condensed. Condense it." You don't really want a discussion, you want to drive the interlocutor away by making it too much trouble for them to engage you. You just proved my point."

Why you left your religion.
