So, in your opinion, everybody who disagrees with homosexuality is a douchebag?
Basically, yeah.
Although more specifically, Captain America and Superman are just genuinely nice and accepting people.
So it'd be out of character to bother being passive-agressive towards gays and saying "Oh, you're fine, just don't get married because I don't want you too."
@InnerVenom123: Wow! You finally managed to say something. Good for you! (for those of you reading at home, InnerVenom was refusing to talk to me in PM's. Apparently, he likes an audience)
First, let's compare the way I've handled this issue with the way you've handled it. I politely stated my opinion on the thread, and then politely responded with my reasoning to anybody who commented back to me.
You gave little reason for your views and call me a douchebag.
Yet, I suspect, you probably think you are the open-minded kind-hearted one in this discussion.
Look, if we can't civilly discuss issues without resorting to name calling to those who have views we don't like, then we are doomed as a nation.
Second, Captain America and Superman are nice and accepting people, but just because you accept something doesn't mean you agree with it. I've got friends who go out, get wasted, hook up randomly, never call the girls back, and snort crack occasionally. Do I accept this? Yes. Do I agree with it? No. Also, you can disagree with someone and still be nice to them. Granted, you seem to be unable to do that to me, but I and a liberal lady here at work have had many wonderful and cordial political conversations. My best friend is gay (well, bi technically), and we disagree on some of this stuff, but I still love him like a brother, and he knows I'd do anything for him.
So, Captain America and Superman (or anybody for that matter) can be accepting and nice while disagreeing with people's actions.
Regarding Superman, I'd say it would be a toss up whether or not he would approve of gay marriage. I'd guess he probably would. Captain America on the other hand was raised in the thirties and forties, and I don't think for a second that his views would be pro-gay marriage, but granted everyone has their own view of the characters.
Third, your understanding of passive agressiveness is just plain wrong. I'm unashamedly stating my view and I'm welcoming any discussion on the subject. There is nothing passive about that. Nor am I being overly agressive. I stated my views calmly, and I've only used moderate sarcasm in responding to you or anyone else (and the other party has always started with the rude comments before I break out the sarcasm).
