Some hospitals won't even serve them because of their sexuality.
Ummm...you have a link for that?
If you're talking about the hospital visitations, I agree it's terrible. But I'm not aware of any cases where hospitals have refused treatment because someone is gay.

Yeah, I almost said something too because I've never heard of that either.
Absolutely... many doctors on "religious" grounds have tried to deny treatment to gays... did you see that commercial about gay marriage... you know the one with the storms that Colbert mocked... one of the actors said something about compromising her morals as a doctor... a lot of folks out there think it's ok to not treat gay people; it's insane.

Yeah, but there's also a strong libertarian streak in a lot of Americans that I can relate to. Should a private doctor be required to treat someone he or she doesn't like (for whatever reason)? In a public hospital or an emergency room, no, no one should be refused treatment, but I do think a private doctor should be able to refuse non-emergency treatment if he or she wants to.
so you can't name one. just like I thought. I didn't lay out terms for a debate. I asked you to name a right a straight person had that a gay person did not. you can't do it, so you refer to an individual as a "wingnut." whatever the hell a "wingnut" is.
A wingnut is a crazy person. I don't think you're crazy. I think you are either small minded or unintelligent.
I haven't read all of these posts so I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out. Straight people have the right to marry the one they fall in love with and to whom they are sexually attracted. Gays do not have this right.
you know this wouldn't be an issue if the government had not been involved in the first place. government does not grant rights, it protects them. this is a man made issue.
Well you are correct so I guess you are not unintelligent. One of those rights is liberty. Liberty is the right to be left alone by government unless my actions infringe upon someone else's rights or there is some state interest in having my liberty restricted. Of course substantive due process is necessary in order to determine if these 'state interests' are legitimate.
Obviously gay marriage does not infringe on anyone else's rights. I have yet to see any due process never mind substantive due process used to determine a legitimate state interest in making gay marriage illegal.
