Just tell them it's a matter of principle, Gandalfe. If they can't understand ethics that's their problem.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(I've already seen it turn up on somebody's LiveJournal...)
What? I couldn't resist. (And one of my non-buffista friends already wants it as a .sig file quote...)

Madrigal Costello's Catholicism:
[upon being told that infertile couples could have non-procreative sex becaue God might give them a miracle] ...When I asked why not let gay couples marry and see if God wants to let them have a miracle, I was told to go xerox stuff in the rectory.
...And there was the time I chose Mary Magdalene as my saint for confirmation, partially because the reading in our Vulgate would require the arch-bishop to say "whore" during the ceremony.
To me the funny part is that a couple years later, that arch-bishop resigned when he was outed. So now I have an excuse for being less than het. I wasn't born this way, I didn't choose this way, I was confirmed this way.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Burrell:
To weigh in on the "so-called homosexual agenda," I think the fear is that, if sex is not closely circumscribed by marriage & procreation, then there is the dangerous specter of purely carnal sex, sex for pleasure. And I guess some fear that, if it seems like a perfectly acceptable option, more of us will be engaging in masturbation, oral sex, sodomy, etc, and will never get around to fixating on marriage & children as our only option out of eternal sexual frustration.
Admittedly, the logic is deeply flawed, but I think that's how it goes.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Trudy in Natter, putting the finishing touches on a very surreal conversation about having consensual sex with a small hole in a wall, with an homage to Pink Floyd:
All in all it's just another dick in the wall
