BS, what rights are they being denied that a straight person is granted? None!
FYI, I'm straight, and the current laws deny me marriage to same sex as well.
The right to marry the person you love, who is a consenting, non related adult, and the over 1400 government privileges that go along with a state marriage license.
Since you are straight it doesn't have any effect on you that I can't get married. How would you feel if you were only allowed to marry someone of the same sex?
marriage in that case was still between a MAN AND A WOMEN race was the problem there .marriage was NOT redifined it was and still is between a MAN & WOMEN
homosexuality is NOT a race
Discrimination is not confined to races.

by making a partnership between those of the *same sex* a marriage YOU ARE REDIFINING MARRIAGE
Marriage has been redefined numerous times thorughout the ages.
I have stated time after that the government at the federal, state and local levels are out of control with historic preservation regulations on private property that the owners do not want. Recently as everyone is aware, Chick fil A wants to open locations in Chicago, Boston and San Francisco. There is talk by the Mayors and Alderman in these cities to deny the business permits based on political views. I am a supporter of gay marriage for the record. But the same Christian conservaties we have calling "foul" on this issue, were calling for the NYC Mosque to not be allowed to be built.
Some of you may remember Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly complaining and yelling about the Muslims being allowed to build that place of worship. I also want to give a hypothetical. If Chick fil A was a anti-Christian company and funded anti-Christian groups, would you same Christians still be marching and protesting? I would say you would be, but to not allow Chick fil A to open (the very thing you are protesting against right now).
Everyone needs to understand that freedom, liberty and property rights extend to everyone...including those you do not agree with.
alright, lets talk about hypocrisy then shall we? dan cathy makes his views on gay marriage known to the world, and what happens? the gay marriage movement and the liberals want him out of business. on the other hand, there are MANY black church leaders, and MANY muslims who have ALSO made statements AGAINST gay marriage, but where are the gay marriage movement protests against them?
as for the mosque, it was right near ground zero where MUSLIMS killed 3,000 people in a terrorist attack. that is just muslims stepping up and showing that they won that battle by putting a mosque rigtht next where they killed people. i was against that. there was a mosque that was supposed to be built in tennessee, but it was being blocked, i am against that mosque being blocked.
and in addition, the city of new york refused to allow a christian church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attack to be rebuilt. so technically there is no hypocrisy there as both buildings were denied.

These are not rights, these are laws. I didnt say that I agree with them, honesty, for the most part, they dont interfere with my life. Let them get married. Who the hell cares.
What I have problems is the pro gay crowd rubbing in everywhere I go. I get it, I think its gross, but I get it. Stop making a big deal over it.
To some gay people who are denied their rights, it is a HUGE issue.
Right.....gays are denied their rights BECAUSE religious nuts make it an issue when it shouldn't be.
