I dont. Is the simple answer. Nothing that concerns nor bothers me. Quite frankly I dont give a damn.

Ah, so your attitude is "I'm all right, Jack". Prejudice and bigotry are entirely acceptable to you provided they don't affect you...
Gosh, what a nice person you are.

If we accept same sex couples it will only be a matter of time before we have to accept somehting else to make this world abetter place. Accepting same sex couples will not make this world a better place. Let them get on with, and stop telling people they must accept them.

What are you *ON*??
*Not* accepting someone simply because they're the wrong race/ colour/ creed/ sexuality does *NOT* make the world a better place! Telling people, especially children, that this sort of bigotry is *acceptable* will only make the problem worse, not better.

Yeah and although they can walk down the street openly it does not stop peoples prejudice, it doesnt stop racism does it?

Well, no, because there are people like *YOU* out there who go "it's not my problem, I don't think we should tell people that that they should accept others even though they're different" and thus implicitly *condone* that sort of behaviour.

even though I accept that its peoples circumstances that dictate this (along with the fact I simply couldnt give two fecking hoots about who was gay and who wasnt ((because I have other more important things to worry about such as how the pips get inside an apple)) ), I still dont think its right. Same sex couples cannot pro-create, and pro-creation is the ultimate aim of humans just like EVERY other species of animal.

Yes, I think you're right and you sum up your bigotry quite nicely here.
No, you *ignore*.
You do, because you are content to *ignore* the problem.

yet I get told I am biggotted because as a hetrosexual I believe its wrong. Forcing people to accept homosexuality isnt right either.
|
Telling people there is nothing wrong with it is *NOT* the same as "forcing them to accept it".
You or they do not have to participate in it, but *neither* should you cross over to the other side of the street...!

To those that want to attack what I believe and feel.......what makes your views so rightious and all important huh?

If you have to ask the question in the first place, it's just evident that your prejudicies blind you to the facts.
