With regards to the wider 'gay rights', I don't know what kind of rights they don't already have? Are you talking about their rights to adopt children? Call me old fashion, gay people have no rights to have children - adopted or otherwise - simply based on the arguments of the children's mental and social developments. Are you talking about 'gay marriages'? Again, call me old fashion, but marriage is between two people of opposite sexes. If they wanted equal treatment of a gay couple in legal terms as 'normal couples', that's fine in my books, but not marriage.
What I've consistently said is that being gay, or homosexual, is not natural state for human being. By being gay or homosexual, the individual automatically gives up some of his/her rights.
Why? Gay people don't choose to be gay. Why should they give up some or ANY of their rights. If they have a partner, why shouldn't they be allowed to show their partner their entire commitment to them by marrying them?
Can I get married? I am straight...... But I am not at all religious, so, to the Christian lot: you can stick it up yer bum!
