Kootchman Said:
“No, the state is not denying rights… they don’t exist. If I call a a cow a crow, doesn’t make it so. No matter how many times I do it. Man, did you see that hot looking lawnmower outside the True Value redblack?”
Horrible logic.
A cow and a crow are different species, right? I’m not even going to touch the absurdity of the lawnmower statement…
A man and a woman are the same species. No one is asking for (what I can only assume you’re referencing here) interspecies wedlock here. They just want anyone of the same species to be able to be married.
The rights only don’t exist because of the denial of them since a less culturally diverse time. When society grows and evolves it allows wrongs brought about by the ignorances of the past to be rectified. It happened when women were allowed to vote. It happened (kind of) when slaves were granted citizenship. It happened again with desegregation. People just want human rights to continue to evolve to where they SHOULD be. If you’re against this, you’re definitely on the wrong side of history. The history of HUMAN rights, not interspecies rights.
The false analogies are astounding, and just make people who use them look (warranted or not) like intolerant assholes.
Oh, and to JV: Calling someone homophobic is totally ok, just so long as they are displaying reasonably homophobic behavior. I’m not saying Kootch or you were doing so, but many people do.
