Is opposition to age disparte relationships bigotry?

[renard_ruse]

If someone has a personal or moral objection to a 30 year old dating an 18 or 19 year old, would that not make them a bigot?

We are told personal or moral objection to homosexuality is "bigotry" because "adults can chose to do what they want with no judgementalism from others."

Yet, many of the same people who think homosexuality is not only ok but its above any criticism and anyone who objects is a "bigot" are judgemental toward a relationship between a legal age 18, 19, or 20 year old and someone much older.

Is it really any of their business? Are they possibly just jealous?

Jealous of what? You are comparing apples to oranges. Though eighteen is of legal age in many states, a person's brain doesn't stop developing until well into the mid 20s.



Think about your actions when you were merely a freshman in college. Most people look back to that time period and realize their mistakes, and hopefully show growth with age.

Most people desire someone who shares similiar interests, it's one thing for a 50 year old to date a 30 year old person, however, it is quite another for a 30 year old to date someone who is 18.

In terms of homosexuality, scientific studies have shown that people do not choose their sexual orientation, so your comparison doesn't make a lick of sense. We know how you rightists are raging homophobes.

Are you low key trying to defend a cradle-robbing perverted senator?

God, you rightists have piss poor critical thinking skills.

Just because it is legal, doesn't make it ethically right.

Force them to get married. That would show them.

Bad troll. Don't feed. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.

Good lord, but are you hard up for a topic? Might I suggest the recent spate of mystery booms?

I was a college freshman at 16. Does that mean my brain wasn't ready?
