Gay people have the same rights I have. They already have equal rights.
They don't have SPECIAL rights. No. No they don't.
Explain this to me. Please, just explain then.
You or I can get married in any state, or have some kind of civil union, which awards us certain benefits in the eyes of government. Gay people are prohibited from this in many states.
How is the same rights as you?
I, a heterosexual male, can't marry a man in any state I want.
Steve Gay, a homosexual male, can't marry a man in any state he wants.
I, a heterosexual male, can marry a woman in any state I want.
Steve Gay, a homosexual male, can marry a woman in any state he wants.
Same. Exact. Rights.
Nowhere in the marriage or civil union laws does it say that I have to "love my partner".
I could "marry" my college roommate for tax benefits in that case.
I don't see how that's complicated to understand.
You, a heterosexual male, can marry the person you love in any state you want.
Steve Gay, a homosexual male, can't marry the person he loves in any state he wants.
Not. Same. Exact. Rights. Apparently it's so complicated that you can't understand it.
