So, this thread doesn't just cover same-sex marriage and adoptions. In fact, I encourage posters to talk aboutother issues concerning the gay community, such as anti-discrimination laws, medical benefits, inheritance rights, amongst others.

So what are your positions on LGBT rights? Do you support every aspect of gay rights, including the legalisation of same-sex marriage and same-sex adoptions by the federal government? Are you supportive of some rights, such as inheritance rights for same-sex couples and anti-discrimination laws for the LGBT community? Do you feel that homosexuals have equal rights to their heterosexual counterparts? Do you think that gays should not have any rights?

Discuss!

Full equality - if I have the right, then they have the right. Simple.

What he said. Legally.

But I not interested in making anyone a "protected class" or counting numbers for quotas or anything that makes gay people stand out as different. I don't think anyone needs to recruit gays for diversity in the workplace. I don't want to see a gay day, week, month or a gay centric curriculium in schools or even the dumb ass pride parades. I am so over sex being something that needs as spotlight on it. I don't want anyone defined by what they do with their sex organs. If this is the current fight then I want no part of it.

Equal Rights, their unions should be given as much credence as heterosexual ones

Damn. Clicked the wrong button. Add one to No. 3, subtract one from No. 1.

Neither marriage nor adoption, is a right. Can someone provide me with a REAL example of a "right" so we can discuss it?
