First topic message reminder :

Ok i had to ask. Do you guys believe that gays should have the right to get married?
Personally, I'm not gay myself but I don't think that we should take away someones right to get married just because they are playing for the other team. What do you guys think?

i agree with max

another reason that i think it's so hard to accept is, in early america, all the laws were based on religion(christianity) and one of them was concerning sodomy(the literal definition is just anal sex, but it has become the social "norm" for it to just mean homosexuality)

I guess this is where I should post this, although it could spark a different type of debate.

As I posted on Facebook, Tennessee legislature recently made a bill saying teachers are not allowed to talk about any sexual orientation outside of heterosexuality, and then said that it's completely neutral to homosexuality.

The official who made this bill said in an interview, "my bill is neither for or against homosexuality, and is therefore neutral towards it," or something to that effect. I'm sure you could find the actual quote somewhere.

If you ban people from talking about something, you're not being neutral toward it, because the act of forbidding people(granted it's not a whole lot of people, and it only covers while they are teaching and during school hours) from talking about a topic is an indirect attack toward it.
