52. hey queerart, sorry but
it seems to me like you're the one out looking for a fight in anyone who isn't militantly pro-gay marriage in everything and doesn't acknowledge the other side of the argument at all.

i mean, don't get me wrong, i AM militantly pro-same-sex marriage, but you don't need to insult and harass everyone who posts an opinion slightly different from yours.

it seems like many of the people you're insulting are either a) trying to explain a side they don't agree with or b) don't understand that civil unions will never be the same as marriage (at least without massive changing of definitions and words in government documents.)

that doesn't mean they're stupid, or freepers, or hate glbt people, or are picking fights because they're bored. in fact, i'd say the people who can explain the opposing side well are more intelligent, because the more you understand about your opposition, the easier it is to get into their heads and defeat them. and for those who just don't understand, why not try to explain without setting them on the defensive by insulting them first?

just a thought...
