[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not gay.  I'm a woman married to a man - however, the thought that a friend or a coworker would not have the same rights to marry or visit a loved one that I would.  I wonder how many of these people who voted against equal rights would have voted against rights for African Americans?  Would have voted against rights for women?  To me it is the same thing - equal rights for everyone - or for nobody.[/quote]

Please don't bring black people into this discussion. I HATE it when folks make this comparison. It's short-sighted and stupid. [/quote]

you don't choose your race and you don't choose your gender.  some choose their sexual orientation. [/quote]

You think people choose to be gay?[/quote]

yes[/quote]

Even if it were true, so what? You're choosing to be ignorant, and that's your right, right? What if we started limiting your rights just because you're ignorant?[/quote]

I don't agree that I am ignorant.  I could choose to be gay tomorrow.  Many people go from men to women back to men as its now accepted to do so.  Perhaps a small percent of the population are 100% gay or 100% straight, but the vast majority are somewhere else along the spectrum.  So if it is a choice, why do we need to bend over backwards to legitimize it?[/quote]

Why should we demonize it?[/quote]
