It's happened before, but you have to be very, very, very fucking drunk.
A textbook is not a source, a textbook cites actual sources, e.g. studies. You'd have to give me the study itself.
Anyways: http://www.nationalsexstudy.indiana.edu/
Most studies on this are inconclusive as the results between anonymous and non-anonymous surveys are wildly different.
Changing the marriage law would give bisexuals more freedom as well now that I think of it, so I wouldn't restrict statistics to just homosexuals. This says 7.5 percent or so.
I don't see exactly how you have sex with a same sex partner without being homosexual/bisexual.
No.
Experts estimate between 1-20 percent of the population.
Surveys yield typically between 1 and 15 percent based on the demographic.
Many more than this have homosexual feelings/experiences, but do not identify themselves as homosexuals.
I will not respect willfully ignorant and bigoted people.
You don't want to explain because you have no valid explanation.
You throw the word bigot around a-lot. I'm entitled to my own opinion and I even said I don't agree with discrimination against gay marriage. Cry some more.
*Boredpayne impression*: Blah blah blah *Google/Wikipedia searches information* Bigot, bigot, bigot *Insults someone with a valid opinion* *Struts around on a self righteous pedestal*
^ That's you in a nutshell.
• Gay people are not responsible for their genes nor their enviroment, rejecting the idea of them having equal rights would be ridiculous.
As long as the ceremony isn't religious or if any of the money goes to any church of any sort they should be allowed to marry.
I think it's also quite selfish to require a ridiculous amount of people to do what a few people want.
Also the first Amendment in america allows the free excercise of religion.
If they want to get married by the government go right on ahead.
If they want to get married by all means do, but make it unreligious, I hate to see more money go to religion.
Also I am aware that there are literally thousands of ways to get married as to which why I think the gay community trying to make what is already there different is retarded. Just look up every way to get wed and if they except you, then well, you can get married, but it seems the gay community in canada and america just really want to make a solid one, right in the middle of church. They can get married how the greeks and romans did, Of course the had same sex marriage.
Plus, this isn't even about the religious ceremony. All a religious ceremony comes down to is a service provided to a client. Almost guarenteed if I had a store and denied service to all black people, I would have lawsuits thrown at me from all directions. This is no different from a church denying religious ceremony to a homosexual couple, except somehow it's considered acceptable.
And your right to free speech or practice of religion is not allowed here because it violates a clause that states said practice of free speech or religion cannot infring the rights of another individual. By denying service to a group because of your beliefs, you are infringing on their rights.
That right there is why there will never be a consensus on this issue and why gays will never be able to marry under federal western countries law.
