Rights have nothing to do with acceptance. You don't half to accept a black person, but our government does. The same goes for gay people. If you don't want to accept them, don't talk to them, don't associate with them. Everyone has that freedom. But they shouldn't have a right to tell our government to discriminate against them.

so taking an age old institution like marriage and perverting to suit their needs is a right? I'm pointing this out to you from the main steam middle america point of view.
I'm all for gays having civil unions with all the associated rights... why must it be called a marriage? that's the issue in my mind. a marriage is clearly defined by society and has been since it all started. why must we allow gays to subvert that?
why should the Christians and others who view marriage vows as something 'holy' have their faith attacked? believe me when I tell you that homos taking marriage vows is confronting the moral majority right down to their 'nuts'. who gave gays that right?
this is the real issue for me... not if homos can/would or should butt fuck and have legal protection. why should I even know someone is gay to be honest about it?
