Who says perverts deserve rights? What's next? Arguing for constitutional rights for perverts who are into making unnatural love to dead bodies? Perverts who are into molesting children? These are natural urges for some people. Hey, they have rights too! Why should we deny them their privileges? This is why the whole world is rapidly spiraling into hell.
I refuse to become politically correct. I would rather be plain correct.

The difference in your examples, is adult consent vs unconsenting bodies, and children who cannot consent.
What two consenting adults do with each other is none of your business. People who have problems with homosexuality don't seem to realize the problem lies with THEM, not the homosexuals. The real question is, why the fsck do you, or should you care?
I can't think of any legitimate reason why gays shouldn't be conservatives. I have a gay friend who thinks I'm a flaming liberal. Both parties have their bigots.

they supported bush the first time around because they believed his lies about being a compassionate conservative. someone who would as he said, leave it up to the states to deal with such matters. but instead, he's shown his true colors going for absurd amendments to the constitution many are reconsidernig.

Well, Robert, that's because you ARE a flaming liberal
Thereby taking one of our rights away from a person because of their sexuality. Making them less of a citizen. How about if he took one of your rights away... lets choose.. the right to work in this country. He doesnt hate you he just doesnt want you to work.
Even though if you married youd get numerous tax cuts. W/E it is your decision but I think it is akin to selling your soul to vote for someone who thinks you dont deserve one of our rights.
Seperate but Equal? Riiiiight, Bush doesnt think so.

He said he was also a militant atheist before he realized that the fundies were going nowhere.
But how is a dead body something of which we would require consent if we are an atheist? It isn't any different than an inflatable, no? The body is just a material object, no? Probably as long as the relatives don't find out, what's the problem, right?
And when do children become adults. Some are adult way before the age and some never grow up. What to do with our hard and fast rules? And what right really, do we have to tell children what to do. Often a child's innocent wisdom is greater than an adult's programming.

I care about taxes say some, above the right to marry. I know where my interests lie and what is important to me. Free me from the nanny state that wants to control me and tell me what is right as if I were a child. There is no truth, only what I make. I am the arbiter of all judgment. As long as what I do doesn't interfere with your right.

I see two forces at work behind this issue. I want what is best for me and I want what is best for us all. On these two points the parties do divide. Naturally both attitudes are just selfishness. I want what is my judgment of what is right is a limited form of intelligent self interest and I want what is best for all is wanting what is best for me in perhaps a larger sphere or longer time frame, ie that American Indian thing about cause no harm seven generations out.

What is best for humanity? Some say it it is what is best for me. Do we believe that from a child. When does one become an adult. What is best for humanity is a matter of opinion some would say yet we clearly acknowledge that the opinion of adults are superior and vital to the perspective of a child. Who are you? At what level of maturity is your understanding about what is best for man. Who knows what being a man means or is. Who has reached his full potential, who has full consciousness and the complete understanding of man? Ah, but I want what I want or I want what is best for you.

We are all on a spectrum as to where our judgment is more mature than the other and all on a spectrum as to how much our faith in out belief is more important than or should take president in some way over the judgment of others.

The religious right and the libertarian represent one dimension of this spectrum. But is there not another. Is it not a fact that we can feel intuitively that children don't have the experience to have the judgment of adults in some generalized way? And has not mankind from its beginnings, for good and ill, listened to those it thought wise. What is this thing called wisdom.
I think it is the love of others that flows from a 'real' love of self combined with experience and knowledge. I would call it a spiritual state or dimension. Knowledge and judgment that flow out of real self love is the true and highest selfishness and the hidden dimension that flows within humanity. It is our human nature made manifest from behind the dark clouds of ego. It is to be had by becoming less not more.

Come on... getting married is not a right. How does it make a gay man less of a citizen if he can join his lover in a 'civil union', whereas a man and a woman can get 'married'. It's just a different word, it's not like they are using different bathrooms. I'm not homophobic by any means. I know its cliche to say it, but it's true. and here comes the biggest cliche... I have gay friends.
Whatever. I honestly don't understand why gay people would want to get 'married' anyway, if it's not for the tax incentives. I understand that they would want to pledge their commitment, but why would you want to use an archaic tradition that doesn't even acknowledge you? to fit in? to feel normal? to feel like your relationship is validated?
And if people think getting married assures commitment from their lover, they are crazy...
Let me know how crazy I am, because these are just natural thoughts. Help me out with other ways to look at this.
