While we're pulling statistics out of our asses.

99.9% of all murderers didn't believe in Invisible Pink Unicorns. Studies have shown that if you were to believe that the Universe was created by an Invisible pink unicorn that you will have no impulse to kill.

Homosexuals should not be denied the rights to form whatever union they want, just don't force the rest of the nation to absorb it into their religious institutions. They have every right to storm the assembly. Criminalising homosexuality is barbaric.

If two consenting individuals decide to shag themselves silly, who cares? The government should keep itself out of the bedroom thank you!

I don't believe this matter of promoting bestiality can lead on from this. Animals can't decide whether they want to be violated or not, and that would be technically cross breeding of the species  

We have better things to be chasing around than homosexuals, when there are killers, rapists and child molesters running free and even accepted under the law in some backward parts of Nigeria

I think that's a decent compromise.

Othelo calm down . . . you're just making silly noise.
Brainless idiot, its because the MAIN GOAL of the homosexual lobby in the US want to redefine laws both at the constitutional federal and state levels to include homosexuality under the banner of marriage. Certainly u've not been listening to the news. Both presidential candidates faced this question during the last campaign.

The TOPIC isn't about the homosexuals in the US  though is it?  

Openly gay people yesterday stormed the National Assembly in Abuja seeking for legislation that will guarantee the protection of what they termed their right to determine their sexual orientation.

You call me brainless and yet at the same time you're making a complete straw man argument. Are you retarded? LoL dude (or Madam) you need to sit there and shut up because you're embarrassing yourself.

Ok we get it, once we disagree with homosexuality we are now idiots abi? so much for "tolerance".

No d*ck face, you're misinterpreting my argument. I'm saying that your straw man argument is unnecessary and so idiotic it doesn't require an address. It requires complete apathy because it is unworthy of debate.

Of course since your dearly beloved homosexual unions dont fall under the banner of "marriage" it no longer has sanctity eh? Talk of sour grapes.

I never said they are dearly beloved, why are you caricaturing my stance on the subject? Is that the only way you can oppose something? By minimizing via caricaturing the opposition? Come on don't be stupid, er. Homosexuals lose out on civil benefits when denied civil liberties even if they were as arbitrary as even being recognised as a partnership of two consenting adults. The limitation of Anybody who is not a threat to me is antiquated, barbaric and hypocrisy. Because that same bigrotry can and has been extendied to black Africans and no offence but I'm too young and too  pretty to want to be treated as a second class citizen. It's bad enough guys like Sauron spit their pathetic diatribe and even threaten them but it's worse when even the government is being used to oppress them.

We get the drift you idiots. Anyone who still hangs unto the notion of abstinence, anti-abortion and anti-homosexuality is antiquated and uncivilized. Lucabrasi said it best . . . these positions used to be standard less than 30yrs ago. Very soon pedophilia will become accepted, afterall its a sexual orientation that we are born with no?

I'm glad you understand me,  Abstinence is fine, anti-abortion is ridiculous, the world we live in cannot accommodate such stupidity, go educate yourself, anti-homosexuality is as ridiculous as anti-abortion, the world we live in cannot afford to have privates heads like you standing on the toes of others because you have a religious agenda. No offence but I don't give a shit about what your holy book says, your book takes back seat to my RIGHTS to life and happiness.

That is EXACTLY what the battle on Prop 8 was and is about. Trying to use the courts to change the constitution.

The outcome of prop 8 was a joke, black America should feel like the biggest hypocrites in the world. However I'm not American so whatever,

no one has denied you the right to live, eat, have a home, get a job, vote, be voted for, have children, have civil unions . . . so what rights have been denied you? The "right" to redefine marriage?

White people said exactly those same things on all of those issues. They always said "we've given em this much leg room but should we really give them a bit more",  Hah you are exactly what's wrong with the world,  Redefining marriage to fit them into it isn't exclusionary, you orthodox chumps can STILL get married, none of your rights will be restricted, none of them will be changed, you will still get the same benefits. You are excluding people because of antiquated bigotry. That is not acceptable within a progressing world.

If you had moral fibre you'd be fighting to get Warren Jeffs out of prison but since he's only a common pedophile you dont care huh?

That makes no sense what so ever,  I guess I was right,  you're a retard. I don't know who he is and what the case is against him. However if he's a criminal and is in prison because of his criminal acts and is in there proportionate to his crimes then I'm inclined to keep him there.

You didn't prove the statement wrong at all.

stillwater:
Wrong!!! History tells us that in order to consider yourself part of the Spartan army, you had to engage in homosexuality activities.

Homosexual "activities" are not the same as being lured" to being gay. Gay is more than just a lifestyle, a practice and  way larger than you felt the need to minimize it.

~davidylan:
una seem am now? My dear, marriage, when it was FIRST defined in the US constitution was about ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN so your notion that it has nothing to do with gender is baseless propaganda.
There IS sanctity in marriage . . . if it wasnt you wont be struggling to force homosexual unions under the banner of marriage. Why cant you come up with your own social contract? Why take marriage too?

What the f**k has the  US constitution got to do with the topic at hand? The very fact you resorted to such a monumental failure of an argument doesn't even constitute as propaganda but idiocy at the highest levels of reasoning.

I disagree that there is sanctity in marriage, however you're free to have whatever antiquated opinion you want on the subject. I'm not struggling to force homosexual unions under the same banner, I just don't DENY the rights of others because I have some stupid religious claim to up hold. Why? Because I'm a grown man with more moral fibre than you.

AT THE END OF THE DAY:

Nigeria is a supposed to be a secular country run via a democracy.

Can anyone name one actual thing WRONG with homosxuality, one thing that endangers the public and other people?

LMFAO Marriage is nothing ore than a societal contract, it has NOTHING to do with gender. The skies don't part and the seas don't split, there is no sanctity in marriage so this romancing of it is one bad joke after another. You can have a public display, ceremony, ritual or whatever but apart from that marriage is only a societal contract that has its share of benefits and drawbacks. Why would you want to deny other people of that same ability to form such social contracts?

It's highly ironic that anybody here would be so opposed to the freedom and rights of other people whom aren't causing harm to anybody else.

The idea that a person can be "lured" to being gay is incredibly retarded.

The idea that you choose to be gay or straight is also retarded.

If you choose to be gay or choose to be straight does that mean we're born bisexual by default?

LoL I don't know what education in psychology, sociology and biology some people have had here but it is obvious that the level of education is substandard. Homosexuality at the moment is a really tough case, since people CAN be born as trans-gender, meaning they can literally have the brain functionality of the opposite sex.

AfroCynic:
Indeed, the fultility of this whole excercise just dawned on me, no minds are being changed here, just bigots hurling insults about other humans, folks unwillingly to see that different does not mean less than. Oh well.

I totaly agree with you,. I am quite embarrased by the amount of stupid comments people have made here already.

Hmm far too much religious fervour, what is Nigeria, a democracy or a theocracy? Keep your religious views out of the public forum (in terms of politics).

I'm new and (sort of) glad to meet you all.
