    Default Gay rights

    Alright, Gays seem to scream out in everything. The one thing that irks me is when they scream about "gay rights"

    What rights do they NOT have? Somebody clarify that for me. I need opinions.

    We're all people, we all got the freedom of speech, vote, etc. plus, everyone who ever lived can tell you that at some point in time, your gonna realize that we all have the right to be made fun of too.

    So, what are the "rights" they don't have?
    Cause I'm pretty sure they allow gay marriage in some churches. (which, is a religion issue, not political, why they complaining to Uncle Sam and not the catholic church?)

    There are threads about this you know.

    However, marriage in this country is not just about what happens in a church.

    For the most part gay rights in westernised society's are about the details now, things like being able to have a marriage which is identical to hetro marriages, and things like the repeal of DADT. All I think it will take now is time, a generation or two, and gay rights will be looked upon as black rights and womens rights, history.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    So all we have to do is wait for them to procreate. Got it. A generation or two huh?

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Procreate? No, thats not how it works

    I simply mean that plenty of people around today will be homophobic. in the same way that past generations would of been more racist/sexist. But as we mature as a society we become ever less sexist, racist and (i predict) homophobic.

    Here's a list of rights denied same-gender couples, in addition to not being able to marry their partner:

    There is no legit list of Rights denied gays. All gays are being denied is a special law that caters solely to their aberrant lifestyle. While those of you on the left haven't gotten it into your thick skulls yet, the Constitution is for EVERYONE. NOT every aberrant minority that comes down the pike wishing to instill its tyranny over the majority.

    Let us know when that happens, ok? Because just looking around doesn't give me much hope for a mature society.
    Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.

    Blah, blah, blah. Thinking homosexual behavior is aberrant behavior is not homophobic. Just another rhetorical label from the leftwingnuts.

    You need to wake up. "As a mature society"? You've "matured" yourself out of your balls, boy. While those that still have 'em are slowly whooping that "mature" ass.

    Kind of sad unrealistic idealism is the rule of the day for the gutless who forgot where they came from. I just wish y'all find one place and light and quit screwing it up for the rest of us that still got a pair.

    You said it yourself, Gunny "the Constitution is for EVERYONE". Once you start selectively denying any minority their rights for wholly specious and unfounded reasons, the Constitution is not worth the match it would take to burn it. And if you REALLY want to go down that road, the majority of Americans favor letting same-gender couples marry. Yer in the minority now Gunny. Feeling oppressed yet?

    Yep, I said it. And gays are not being denied ANY Constitutional Rights. End of story.

    True that Gunster, there is currently NO constitutional provisions being denied citizens who CHOOSE to engage in the homosexual lifestyle. Should we broaden the constitution to cover lifestyle choices?
