Your thoughts on gay rights?

I'm not going to participate in that... 

But I definitely believe this thread could use more logic than it has already. Rights are rights, why should they be different from person to person?

Gay nights? What? Here on PA, say once a week? I'm game!

.....A little....childlike of you?  (Unless it's sarcasm then my apologies)

Anywho, I disagree that statement. As I said, I'm in total support of gay rights (really human rights) including adoption. In fact that's kind of an issue of children's rights as well! The more people that are available to adopt children mean more will get adopted. Seems wrong to me to have it illegal.

Also you're right, kids do have it tough these days, and I'll admit there could be increased teasing and problems for a child who has 2 moms or dads. Especially with "gay" being an insult these days
But there's lots of f**ked up families out there and lots of kids that unfortunately grow up in less than ideal conditions. It is ultimately up to the family to get through it. This goes for anything. Good parenting and influence are what's important, it can override anything.


Edit: Well since you asked for general elaboration, I think the issue of marriage should be out of government entirely. That means Federal, State, County, Municipal...any. The decision should be solely to those involved. It's what marriage should be, and it is also a way around "legislating" the issue. Marriage would pretty much not be a "status" so it'd also achieve true equality IMO.

But should it be allowed to marry another thread like it?
