Being left alone is all I ever wanted as a gay man. But the gay rights activists are demanding all sorts of positive rights and privileges from the government, and worse yet, they are trying to do it in my name.
- otterley 9y agoAs far as I know, they’re just asking for the same rights as privileges that heterosexuals and heterosexual couples are entitled to. What, exactly, are the “all sorts...of rights and privileges” that are unique to homosexuals that you are referring to?
- wpietri 9y agoThis so poorly matches both my understanding of what they request and what my GLBTQ friends say on the topic that you're going to have to be much more specific if you want to make your case. The biggest issues I've seen are just not getting discriminated against. For example, the biggest fight I've seen in my time in California was Prop 8, which was very clearly about equal protection under the law. The next-biggest was marriage equality, which is just removing needless heterosexual privilege from marriage law.
