   If straight people can do this — and they can — then so can gays, although this specific approach to family planning isn’t exactly common for gay or straight people.

   Religious beliefs are beliefs and beliefs alone. #TheReligiousWhite in the USA cry “religious liberty” ad nauseum, but that’s just an allusion (and an illusion).Evangelical Christians’ understanding of “religious liberty” is colonial, not American. They gush about the Pilgrims and the Puritans risking their lives (which is true) to create a society where everyone’s “first freedom” is free exercise (which is not true). Like today’s evangelical tyranny of the majority, the settlers of what would become Massachusetts Bay cared only about their OWN religious liberty. They mandated compliance with THEIR religious prescriptions and proscriptions. Those who contested their fulfilled dream of theocracy suffered: tarred and feathered, social shunning, exile, and, for some. death.Evangelicals nowadays are the heirs of Puritans. They push to legislate THEIR flavor of religious beliefs. They claim Muslims don’t have the right to free exercise because Islam is not a religion. They broadcast the US has always been a Christian nation and that THEY need not obey laws all others must follow because the Christian majority is intended to have “dominion” over all others and that minorities (gays, Jews, atheists, etc.) have rights only to the extent that the majority grants to them (<—-Justice Scalia actually wrote this. YIKES!)

   The same way gay humans raise babies: a baby is placed with them after they are certain they want to be parents; then they care for, feed, nurture, protect, keep warm, teach, model behavior for — etc. — their baby.(Is this not obvious?)

   Wow, you are wrong on so many points. Ever hear about the Dunning-Kruger effect?

   Marriage is a right, one that’s older than the Constitution. It’s an ancient right, along with the right of travelers to find lodging in inns, hotels, and Christian-owned B&Bs free of discrimination. (See Alliance Defending Freedom’s client Aloha Bed and Breakfast for some of the nuttiest legal arguments made to justify refusing to book a room for a lesbian couple.)

   Over time, the right to marry morphed into the right to marry the person one chooses, reciprocated, of course. Claiming “homosexuals already have the right to marry. They just have to marry women, same as hetero men. But, noooooooooo, the homosexual agenda is all about SPECIAL RIGHTS” is absurd, and, I’ll note, the exact same argument given when fundamentalist Christians frothed at the mouth fighting against changing the definition of marriage: “Negroes already have the right to marry. They just have to marry Negroes, same as Caucasians have to marry Caucasians. But, noooooooooo, civil rights are CIVIL WRONGS.”

   Being gay is normal, so it doesn’t need to be “chosen.”

   The irony of (1) demanding unregulated gun ownership due to (2) fear of terrorists, felt most dearly when recalling 9/11 while (3) going through airport security to board a plane where (4) you can’t have a gun to protect yourself from terrorists.

    Um, Ma’am, this is Arby’s drive-thru.
