(1) To the best of my knowledge, NO one has EVER been
able to present a factual argument against same-sex
marriage. Because NO such facts even EXIST! The
bigots have NOTHING!!
(2) We who are egalitarian ALLIES of the gays in Civil
Rights movement II **OUTNUMBER** the gays,
themselves, by a ratio of 10-1. The specious hate-
agendas of the RRR & LDS Cult homophobes are
DOOMED to EXTINCTION.

The Inevitable Fate of Movements
of Intolerance in America
Society ALWAYS outgrows intolerant and hateful movements
that are mired in stupidity, and are supported by NO relevant
facts. ALWAYS. No exceptions! And our own history, here
in the USA, makes that very clear. Since 1865 ---
-- Slavery -- EXTINCT
-- Opposition to Women's Suffrage -- EXTINCT
-- Prohibition -- EXTINCT
-- Opposition to Birth-Control Pill -- EXTINCT
-- Segregation -- EXTINCT
-- Anti-Semitism -- ENDANGERED (Thankfully)
-- Anti-Choice (abortion) -- LAUGHINGSTOCK STATUS
-- Opposition to EQUAL Rights for Gays -- FADING *FAST*
-- Islamophobia -- Subscribed-to mostly by DOLTS,
and will surely be SHORT-lived.
Segregationists were a JOKE (i.e., "laughingstock status")
during the last few years before it became extinct. As opposition
to EQUAL rights for gays (with respect to housing, being parents,
marriage, and employment) continues to fade, the remaining op-
ponents first will become laughingstocks, and then that hateful-
ness will end in extinction. constant consciousness-raising, as is
being assisted by the media in its sitcoms, talk shows, etc., is
very helpful.
The ludicrous and hateful actions and defense of sociopathic
agendas against individual liberties on the part of the adherents/
lemmings of the RRR Cult will soon lead to American society's
becoming EMBARRASSED to have those louts in their midst,
making our country a laughingstock in front of the entire world.
Even now, the process of their becoming FED UP with that is
building toward the critical mass that will trigger the *rejection*
of the RRR's **shameful** and worthless agendas. Before much
longer, society will reject those movements with all the force that
it brought to bear against segregation.
Something NEW on this scene and growing alarmingly in 2010
is the rise of Islamophobia in America. 20% of Americans even
are so abjectly IGNORANT as to use this as an *excuse* for
whining about President Obama -- claiming that HE is a Muslim.
(He's a Christian, as the 80% who have working brains, know.
But if he WERE a Muslim, there would be NOTHING wrong with
that. And it is a sad commentary on America's educational
system when kids grow up steeped in such STUPIDITY as to
care what OTHER people's religious beliefs -- or lack thereof --
happen to be.) That said, even though this new manifestation
of ignorant bigotry has raised its ugly head... it, too, WILL ulti-
mately become extinct. And probably will be very short-lived,
in the meantime. For that is *extremely* ignorant!
Historical precedents have CONSISTENTLY proven that
Americans **outgrow* movements of intolerance (such as ALL
of the above), and then REJECT them -- leaving them behind
FOREVER.
And *that* is EXTINCTION.
Very WELCOME extinction. As in, "Good riddance forever!"
