Gay Rights

We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on LiveJournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't

just out of curiousity, what are "gay" rights? is there something special about gay rights that are different than anyone elses rights?

calling for gay rights, as it did for women, blacks, native americans, etc in the past, will only serve to seperate out a subgroup. there will always people that will fight against "gay" right because they bear that label. label it as human rights, because, truly, that's what they are. you aren't asking for a seperate set of rights, you ask for the same rights and privileges as everyone else.

You're absolutely right. I'm not going to "argue" the fact with you. I'm just guessing that since us gay folks don't have those rights, that's why they are calling it "gay rights." Just my assumption and I could be wrong.

i'm definately not arguing with you.
personally, i think marriage is a religious ceremony that the government should stay out of. then if a church will marry you, then all attendant rights of being married should apply.

Amen to that.

I hate the term "Special rights" given to our fight for any rights. There is nothing special about having nothing ya know?

Exactly.
