if you want to marry a woman, you can. if you want to marry a man, you can't.

again, the question. I am a heterosexual man. what rights do I have that you don't? I didn't ask about what rights you wanted.
That's such a stupid argument. Where gay marriage is legal, you have the right to marry a man or a woman, the same as any gay person. It doesn't give an "extra" right - everyone still has the same rights. Apparantly you never took a beginners debate class.

It is legal to fire someone if they are homosexual in 37 states for starters.

Yeah, here we go again. So let me point out again that as a heterosexual man you have the right to marry the person you fall in love with and are sexually attracted to. Homosexual folks do not have this right.

You have the right of 'pusuit of happiness' in marriage. Homosexuals do not have this right.

The right to marry the person I am in love with. I could go the other way with it and claim I'm not being discriminated agaisnt cause I'm gay ...it's cause I'm a woman I don't have the same rights that men have...cause a man can marry a woman but I can't....so if you won't let me use "I'm a lesbian and don't have marriage rights" then fine "I'm a woman and I want the same marriage rights a man has...the right to marry a woman."

love is a farce. marriage is nothing more than a legal contract. you can sign one with the opposite sex just as anyone else can.
