By the way, Montesquieu was a real person when he wrote down his Trias Politica. And still we seem to value some old fairy tale more than the holy words of Montesquieu.
Why is that?
Let's assume, just for argument's sake that a god exists who created us all. You seriously think that same god would want his creatures to treat each other this way? A way where any majority can, when ever they please, take away basic human rights from any minority.

Any god who thinks that way is not a god I would want.
The Christians have always wanted their religion to be the law of the land. Now that is finally changing and they think they are being targeted or stripped of their rights. Have to love the irony.
In the US we are slowly working our way to equal rights for all but it is indeed a long, uphill battle. Three cheers for Massachusetts.

Why is unnatural sex a "basic human right"?
I thought that Thomas Jefferson argued that basic human rights came from nature, and nature's god? Assuming that Jefferson was right, then non-biological sex would seem to NOT be a basic human right, since it would be against nature.
Besides, why do gay people want the legal right to marry anyway? In countries where gay marriage is recognized, like Holland, the majority of gay couples refuse to get married, and the majority of the few couples that actually did rush to the altar immediately after the passing of the new law were divorced in a few years. Why fight for a right that you do not intend to use anyway?

many each body is of the opinion that the classes of the Bible are previous, contradictory, and finished of medical and historic mistakes. With few exceptions, they have reached those conclusions by ability of 2d- and 0.33-hand resources truly than their personal learn of the Bible. evaluate appropriate right here statements: The Bible says that God enables those who help themselves. The books of the recent testomony were written centuries after the activities they describe. Cleanliness is next to godliness is interior the Bible. in accordance to the Bible, the earth is flat. The earliest New testomony manuscripts bypass lower back purely to the fourth or fifth centuries A.D. The Bible teaches that the earth is the midsection of the universe. The English Bible is a translation of a translation of a translation (and so on.) of the unique, and sparkling mistakes were presented in each and each level of the technique. how lots of those statements do you imagine are real? the reply is that all of them are pretend. yet those pretend impressions persist interior the minds of many, and incorrect information like this produces a skeptical concepts-set in the route of the Bible. i have self belief that is and with originals as previous as 50 years after the originals and the Peshitto, Curetonian, Coptic Sahidic and others to substantiate. it is been shown precise and good. purely asking above reported it perfect.

Marriage is not a right.
You may wish it to be true.
I will bit for your question for a moment that lets say society has this dogma for last 2000 years or so.
Why is so all fire important that we all have to accomenate so few.
Where is written that life is fair.
Majority rules.
Better question you should ask yourself what can I do better to sell gay marriage to Americans. Yell and screaming and calling homophobe hasn't work try something else.

Don't know about your fairy tales but the bible says that mans inhumanity to man is nothing new. We were not designed to rule ourselves and now it is survival of the fittest.
If we let them take away our rights please be assured that God will deal with them in his own way.

Why are you pressing the issue so much? if you feel that strongly about it then move to a place where it is acceptable, get married and have a nice life. Otherwise, understand that Sodom and Gamorah started out with that minority and look what happened? they didnt care later if the person was straight or not. If that happens on a larger scale, as more and more young men turn, then our species would die! what part of that do you not understand? go, get married and enjoy!

too many on the planet like their fairy tale too much, and think it's real. and of course it allows them a righteous excuse for their maltreatment of people time & time again.
just be thankful they aren't burning you at the stake anymore.
