Why should your lifestyle choice entitle you to certain "rights?" If you're talking about the right to marry, gays have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex, just like everyone else. What rights are being denied?
I fully agree.

Homosexuality is an unnatural perversion.

The biggest thing is adding 'sexual orientation' to all the federal anti-discrimination laws. That never passed even with D majorities, but with R's, zero chance.

NO...not married

yes with the person I love and have children with

I believe that ALL MARRIAGES should be abolished...the government should not be involved in your love life

why do you need a piece of paper, and government permission(and fee) to declare your love???

What are "gay rights?" How are they different from the rights established by the Constitution (Bill of Rights) and the unalienable rights described in the Declaration of Independence? Are their "special" rights that apply to "gays?"

Please explain.

Exactly! They are demanding "special rights." When the Declaration of Independence says "All men are created equal," that means that all people are endowed with "certain unalienable rights;" but, there is no right to marriage established in any of our founding documents. Therefore, they are not being denied any rights. Marriage is defined as the union of a man and a woman, and homosexuals do not get to change that definition to suit their perversion.

Doubt it very much. That ship has sailed, in the courts.

What about the greed of the heterosexuals that get married? Are their marriages all about the bennies too?
And why shouldn't I have access to those bennies? I am an American citizen too.
