What kind of people compare gay marriage to slavery?

Bluebeard’s Wife: What kind of people compare gay marriage to slavery?
Is it just me, or is this comparison beyond offensive and degrading? What are gay marriage rights supporters going to say next, that denying gay marriage is comparable to genocide?

Do gay marriage rights supporters think that they are going to make people support gay marriage and gay adoption by having a victim mentality, having sob stories and being self-entitled bullies who force their beliefs onto others? It seems like no low is too low for them. I can’t believe people are comparing gay marriage to slavery, it’s just shocking and sickening.

Because they are dumber than a box of rocks.
Slavery is an entirely, different subject. With so many
different dynamics as well. You cannot compare an
abusive and subjective yet , dehumanizing institution
to someones sexual personal orientation. It is absolutely
ridiculous.

Answer by Ladyhawke
I’m very offended when gays compare their lives to blacks or other people with obvious reasons for discrimination.

Unfortunately, gay marriage rights supporters have many people on their side who believe their sob stories. You are also correct in understanding that they will stop at nothing….going down to the lowest depths of depravity….until everyone in the world acknowledges and agrees to their right to impose their will on others.

Answer by Jess
Stupid people.

There was a guy who complained about being beaten up on 2 occasions for preaching gay rights. One was when he whined and cried to Mughabi in Africa calling him names. The other was when he tried to lead a gay rights march/protest in Russia of all places.

You would think that some people would think “Hmmm, a murdering dictator and a nation of robotic killing machines……You know what? I don’t fancy it”. But no.

People who know what civil rights are. You don’t know what I’ve been through as a gay man and you also don’t know what it’s like to be a slave. So…shut your mouth.

Feel free to ask this in the proper LGBT section and you wont get the flood of your feminazi friends backing your inexperienced view.

I’ve never heard anyone compare gay marriage to slavery.

But I HAVE heard people compare gay marriage to interracial marriage, which also used to be illegal for many of the same reasons.

Answer by Darkking
It is because they are trying to do anything for pity.

During the Civil Rights movement, the gay movement is not included because the Civil rights movement because the Civil rights movement is about equality under God (hence most of the leaders where religious such as Martin Luther King, Jr.) which gays do not have as they claim such as same sex marriage. They have no justification for their movement except for love (this is highly debatable) and try to seek it by comparing it with slavery and the Holocaust.

Emotional melo-dramatic gay people.

Answer by Iggy
I think you should stop ranting, or speaking at all if possible (I keep seeing your stupid posts)
and go into the correct category.

Very few people make that argument. So I think the real question is why aer you set on attacking gay people? You know there are much better arguments you can use.

Answer by CAustin II
Well, if someone’s actually “comparing” them, and concluding that they’re somehow equal in severity or consequence, then I would say that’s a person with a very poor sense of perspective.

However, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone doing this – it would be pretty much universally recognized as ridiculous, by proponents and opponents alike. What people sometimes do, though, is draw similarities between bigoted attitudes behind historical, well-recognized forms of discrimination and modern, perhaps contemporarily subtle ones, and challenge defenders of the modern ones to explain the difference if they can.

This is a perfectly valid form of reasoning – if someone’s conducting a “witch hunt” series of trials, for instance, it’s perfectly legitimate to ask them if there’s some concrete difference between the degree of evidence versus the degree of public panic relevant in their criminal prosecutions and that involved in the Salem Witch Hunts. A person making that argument would not be saying that, for example, the daycare child molestation paranoia of the 1980s was as atrocious as the trials and executions of witches in the 1600s, but they may be correctly pointing out that the reasoning (i.e. mass hysteria versus objective evidence) was similar.

Answer by In a silent way
Slavery was not genocide, and I see where they are coming from. They are saying that like blacks they were denied rights. But I do not feel slavery is the best comparison.

What truly disgusts me is when feminist seriously tries to equate the treatment of women to the treatment of slaves.

Answer by mischiefsw
My understanding of the issue of “comparison” of gay marriage and slavery is that at one time people did not want to accept that Blacks were people and were entitled to human rights. Now, we have the same issue with homosexuals and gay marriage.

The comparison of these two issues is that at one time they were not accepted. Slavery was abolished. Now, the opposition to homosexual marriage should be abolished based on human rights. This is what the comparison is about.

History will judge the opposition to gay marriage just as we now judge slavery. Both are very very wrong because they deny basic human rights.

Answer by realist ARROW
the two are like apples & orange , just like comparing two things in life. the truth is , americans & anyone for that matter, have put Racism (against blacks) on such a high pedestal, everyone is so offended at saying N****, (a spanish word for black, oh well…), that people are so immune to other bigotries and see them as superficial.

Get over it, there isnt anything special about slavery it, didnt start or end with blacks, it has been around for ages, against all races, homophobia has never been challenged until the 19th century..not to mention that sexism have always been there.

racism = sexism= homophobia = other bigotries
none is more or less than the other….

Answer by Deirdre O
You are correct it is degrading and offensive. Gay marriage like any marriage is supposed to be based on caring, mutuality and respect. I know many gay partners that have far emotionally healthier relationship than their heterosexual counterparts. This is just another example of trying to demonize homosexuality and push towards heterosexualism.

Answer by Gay Christian
Hey there!

As a Christian who happens to be gay, I MAKE THIS COMPARISON!!!! Why? Because the Church has been wrong about both. The Bible says all people are equal, and doesn’t condemn loving faithful same-sex relationships, the Church has said the opposite. I think I’ll go with what God says!

As Tony Campolo (an Evangelical Christian) says, it’s heterosexuals who are destroying marriage and getting divorced, not the gays – they want to get married! I thought that was hillarious!

Answer by Above Normal
I agree with you. Feminists do that, too, comparing women to slavery. Their audacity to insult the atrocities done to Blacks in the past is so beyond me. It is sickening.
