I think I'll go back and re-visit the ignorance thread.

All citizens shall be afforded the same equal rights.

Personal belief - - is not relevant in who shall and who shall not be afforded equal rights.

Your personal views on homosexuality - - is not relevant to equal rights.

Equal rights is not special rights.

Same gender attraction is biological - - the same as opposite gender attraction. There is no legitimate precedence to exclude a naturally born minority - because you don't like it.

I dont remember marriage being a right. can you show me where that one is at?

Thousands of years of procreation by their ancestors gone to waste because being gay is promoted as normal and equal.

That's because it is. It's just as normal as being straight.. Tell us all a time in your life when you had to choose between being attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex? A time never existed because you were automatically attracted to the opposite sex (judging by your post). Some people are automatically attracted to the same sex. Some people are attracted to both sexes. It's nothing you or anyone else can control. It's nature. Just because there are less gay people, doesn't mean that it's not normal, nor equal, as you so eloquently put it.

I'm not gay, but I'll fight for a gay person's rights just as I would a straight person's. Because you are all still people. Living, breathing human beings.

And it takes a lowly human being to discriminate against another human being based solely on their race, religion, sex, or which sex they're attracted to.



Great thread, Annee. LOVE your signature.

The government has no business involving itself in personal relationships.

Marriage as a state sanctioned institution is bull and should be ended immediately.

Next time you hear some a-hole say "by the power vested in me by the state of blah blah" you should crack him over the head with a heavy blunt object.

This is about Equality for all citizens (I'm sticking to citizens - even though it may apply to non-citizens)

The original purpose of LEGAL Government Marriage - - - isn't particularly honorable.

However - - since the government did do this - - - it must be a right of all citizens.

We are a secular government - - therefore there is no God belief involved or attached to - - LEGAL Government marriage.

A LEGAL Government marriage affords certain privileges. These privileges must be for all citizens wishing to join together as one unit/household in the form of a couple partnership. (Do not dissect the wording. It is by intent in simplest form)

So gays want the same things that straights do....

Isn't that a do unto others kind of approach?

What a "Sentimental Philosophy"

It's a lot different when the shoes on the other foot eh?

Next thing you know the Gays will want freedom of expression.

Your personal belief on LEGAL marriage is irrelevant.

Why the government chose to involve themselves in LEGAL marriage is also irrelevant.

It IS - - and it must be for the right of every citizen.

Same LEGAL Rights.

Not things.

Just another step on the slippery slope of normalizing everything, no wonder we are headed in the direction we are. Funny, Judges should only recluse themselves when it helps the under dog, not the majority, typical nonsense.

Its about what Id expect from a "judge" in california

You have every right to your personal feelings.

In law and equal rights - you don't.

The "under dog"? Interesting analogy. So does that make you the persecutor? Persecuting a victim of injustice? Who's only crime is being born homosexual?

1: a loser or predicted loser in a struggle or contest
2: a victim of injustice or persecution
