Oops - and I voted for "completely apathetic" by mistake. Sorry! I thought it said "completely sympathetic".
AUM! Shame!

I thought I knew you better than this...

So are you saying that we (homosexuals) don't have the right to marry someone we love?
I don't want the government getting involved in my life at all, but when it is perfectly legal for hetero couples to get the legal protections, rights, tax breaks, etc....simply because they are STR8.....then why can't Gays?

I am very concerned. It bothers me when a certain group is discriminated against.

I put myself in their shoes. Being denied marriage to the one I love, being denied visitation rights.....agh! Not fair especially in the USA!

Let freedom ring!

The fact that the biggest argument associated with gay rights is about marriage is actually a good thing. It shows how far gay rights and equality have come. It was only 40-50 years ago that you could be arrested and lose your job for simply socializing in a gay bar. People were practically forced out of their towns for being gay.

For NOT being concerned about it, you sure do opine about it every opportunity that you get.

Default How Concerned Are You About Gay Rights/Equality?

Gays don't have rights - only citizens have rights.

If gays can pass a citizenship test, then they can enjoy all of the rights any other citizen enjoys.

I considered you infallible...but you've let me down.

And to think I was going to ask you to be my i-net valentine...I've been betrayed. I am canceling your order of chocolate truffles as I type.
