gay rights

The civil rights that individuals and married couples have that those in the homosexual community don't have. These include the legalization of gay marriage, the same rights to said act that heterosexuals receive, (such as tax exemptions and benefits) and the right to be in public without being frowned upon.

Although homosexuals have been fighting for these rights since the late 1800s, the issue never received nearly as much publicity until around the 2004 election when Congress gave the states the right to choose their view on this issue.

Democrats and liberals feel that these individuals deserve the same rights that all of us have because we are all human, the Constitution says "All men are created equal," and that we practically did the same thing with the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s. Republicans, conservatives, and many Christian groups feel that homosexuals should not be given the same rights for various reasons including their own thoughts that homosexuality is a disease or mental illness, that it has no social benefit, (i.e. impossible to bear children) and that the Bible doesn't allow it (see Leviticus 18:22). There have been many arguments about these issues which have also brought into question where to draw the line between the Seperation of Church and State.

a bunch of bullshit made up for 13 year old girls to make a fuss about

- rights for gay people, and the main right that gay people want to have is the right to marry. it s a "hot button" issue in america, with most demorcrats for it and most republicans against it. you don t have to be gay to be in favor of gay rights, many straight people are open minded, respect diversity, and belive in freedom. but others want to force their religion on every one else like they have never heard of "seperation of church and state". if you think gay people choose to be gay, did you choose to be straight? did you choose to be attracted to blonde, red, or brown hair? blue, green, or brown eyes? big or small boobs? curvy, skinny, althletic, or petite bodies? you can t chose what turns you on, and you definately can t choose who you fall in love with. we fought for interacial marriage and now gay marriage. gay marriage doesn t hurt anyone, so maybe we should worry about things that do like the war...

A sign that the brain is winning the battle with the mitre.

Giving homosexuals rights that are not currently afforded to them. This includes marriage, tax breaks, and more openess in general in society.

Rights for people who are homosexuals. They deserve every right. also people who are homophobs like those damn republicans need to stop being right wing christians. i dont like america because its a place full of rednecks and christians. I am moving to canada because we are an oil hungry dispicapable gropup of republicans.
