Swamp I was not quoting you. I was stating what I believe your thoughts were that is why I said maybe I was reading between the lines. If I'm wrong I am sorry but let's settle it by answering these questions
1. Do you believe gays should have the right to marry ( the same right you and I have)?
2. Do you believe gays should be granted equal rights (the right not to be disciminated against because of their sexuality in hiring, firing, buying homes or any other rights we have).
3. If you don't believe in a gays right to marriage how do you feel about a civil union?
that is one issue, you seem to like to think you know what other people are thinking.
I'd love to answer your questions here.
1. Nope, A straight man doesn't have the right to marry his male neighbor,,,,if gay people want the same rights as straight people,,,,,guess what, they already have them.
2. Except for I'm sure a few places, there is no open discrimination against gays that I have ever witnessed against buying a home, getting a job, buying a vehicle,,,anything, in fact I had a neighbor a while back who was a Dean at a high school who owned a rather nice downtown Orlando home,,,,and recently moved into a much nicer downtown Orlando home and is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met,,,,and he's gayer than Richard Simmons dance moves.
3. I think a civil union is fine,,,,,I'd love to see gay people have a union that is as hard to get in/out of as marraige because I'd like to see them have the same issues with getting divorced.
I'm with whoever said,,,,do whatever you want, just don't push it in my face at every opportunity.
