The polarization happened the second that pnews grabbed
your article which implicitly compared two human beings'
desire to be married with a human being and door knob
wanting to tie the knot.
If you can't see how this is polarizing then you are
an absolute idiot and there is no further point in
"discussing" this.

I'm not interested in "making progress" with somebody
who cannot differentiate two human beings and, say,
a rock and a slug. In your fevered imagination,
homosexuals may be nothing better than animals (I've
certainly heard that one before), but I will not grant
such a cretin a dignified argument which starts off
with me defending whether I'm even on the same par as
"real" human beings.
