Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals, and have that fence electrified so they can’t get out. Feed them. And you know in a few years, they’ll die out. You know why? They can’t reproduce.” “And just to be safe, we’ll have to keep all the god-fearing straights from reproducing too, because every gay person out there is the product of a man and a woman. Give having babies a moratorium of about 50 years, and boom! The problem of gay people being born is solved.” ---

Can gay people get marriend inside the fence? If so it sounds like a win-win. ---

I’m telling you all, some mainstream religion needs to declare as part of their doctrinal beliefs that marriage is between two people who love each other, regardless of gender. Turn this whole thing into a 1st amendment fight. if your religion doesn’t like it, they don’t have to do it, but don’t infringe on the rights of other philosophical/religious beliefs. ---

ooh, other quick idea: we can put all the homosexuals in their fence, but only if we can put all the froth-at-the-mouth-I-hate-anything-the-Bible-lets-me-conservative-christians in another fenced in preserve, where the water is laced with birth control. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > You… you don’t actually know how First Amendment cases work, do you? I may be misreading him but I think he’s describing the faulty but omnipresent arguments that anti-gay religious groups frequently make. I’m not reading his post as endorsing it, just describing it. “Marriage equality violates our first amendment rights” is a frequent (and obviously fallacious) argument that these jerks tend to advance. ---

> [@Polycarp](#): > > **Tao** , if **Chaim** were an evangelical Christian bigot, you would have a strong point here. But are you aware what Orthodox Jews believe are binding on us Gentiles? Five, six, or seven (depending on which source you consult) “Noachic commandments” handed down to Adam, Seth, or Noah. The 631 _mitzvoth_ such as no pork. no shellfish,. no linseywoolsey, forcing a rapist to marryt his victimn, etc.? They’re all binding onoly on _ **Jews** _. And the Noachic commandments? Horribly oppressive thiungs like prohibiting murder. > > It’s the [del]morons[/del] [del]bigoted assholes[/del] evangelicl Christians who believe the whole (Protestant) Bible is “the Word of God” (despite its saying the contrary) eho want to force you to abide by their beliefs. > > Sometimes, “the **Tao** which is posted before you is not the Tao which you should read.” (Lao-Tse, slightly modified) 🙂 Uh, are you aware that the Noachide Covenant, as interpreted by traditional Jewish scholarship, _does_ ban gay sex? It doesn’t ban mixed fiber clothing or eating shellfish but the law against “sexual immorality” is consistently held to include gay sex. So this is a weird discussion in which to try to defend the Noachide laws as not being oppressive. I mean, apparently Ha’Shem holds “don’t murder” and “don’t have gay sex” as equivalent commandments. ---

> [@gamerunknown](#): > > Would a federal law declaring marriage to be between a man and a woman be placing undue burden on Episcopal churches? Well, the government isn’t preventing the “free exercise” of Episcopal churches to perform same-sex marriages - they just don’t legally recognize the result.
