With marriage equality, instead of being required to marry a person of the opposite sex, straight people have the option (which no doubt they will choose not to exercise) to marry someone of the same sex.

Just because a person doesn’t want access to a right doesn’t mean, a) it’s a bad right or, b) that he has to take advantage of it. Look at smoking and gun ownership – two rights that a lot of people don’t take advantage of, but the people who do partake will scream bloody murder if you try to remove them.

““They are wanting rights that heterosexuals don’t have.”

And those rights are..?”

Richard replied “Since heterosexuals don’t have the right to marry a person of the same sex, neither should homosexuals. I suppose that is what passes for rational in NOM-land.”.

When gays are allowed to marry heterosexuals will also have the right to a same sex marriage so gays won’t have any rights that heterosexuals don’t.

At the workplace. With your family.

We need to knock down the oft repeated rhetoric: “Special Rights” and ask people to show where we are asking for something special.

There is nothing special when it comes to equality.

Nice. And I’m reading all this on Facebook, right above a post from The Advocate about that couple who were beaten in Staten Island recently. At some point, I fully expect to see these gutter crawling bigots just admit outright that violence is merely our due. Orson Scott Card, who is a NOM board member, is on record as saying the laws against sodomy are there not so much to lock us all up as to suppress homosexual behavior. Well I suppose violence does that too doesn’t it? At some point they’re just going to come right out and say that a fearful homosexual is a good homosexual.
