Bingo!

I love the crazy arguments from the hate-spewers about how passing laws that prevent discrimination means some group is being granted "special, protected status" - as if the basic human right to NOT be treated like something less than human is "special?!"

Newsflash: gays aren't hurting anyone, and nobody is forcing you into a gay relationship just because gays happen to be in the area legally.

All the same irrational and vitriol ridden arguments were used against: blacks, Jews, Asians, Italians, Irish, etc. over the years. And it was all nothing but ignorant bigotry back then, and it's nothing but ignorant bigotry today.

I'm a bIit confused about that also.

BTW,in regards to contracting a disease, what would be the differance between two women engaging in oral sex, and a man engaging in the same thing?

I was saying that the above mentioned states have the right idea by prohibiting enumeration.

Gays should not have EXTENDED rights and should not be a protected class.

I've clarified this a few times.

What is all this talk about "enumeration"? Are we talking about math? It's odd to use it in the context of LGBT people.

The reference to prohibiting enumeration refers to state laws that disallow the implementation of bullying policies that specify (enumerate) protections for LGBT students.
Maybe it is odd...

*shrugs*

any opinion on the matter aside from context?

So to listen to your viewpoint homosexual students should be lawfully bullied in hopes they will feel like killing themselves?

"State's rights" has and always will be code for a state's right to legally discriminate.
The poster surely thinks states should have been granted the right to decide if blacks are a protected class, and if not, then to legally discriminate against them, or in other words keep the Jim Crow laws in effect.

Moral decline.

It is no different than running naked in public.
