Reply #74: Sigh. Where to start with your bigoted rant... [View All]

You seem to feel there's some contest going on between women and blacks and gays, and--oh, no!--the gays are making some progress when it's still *my* turn, not theirs!!

First off, your notion of history is completely biased. Same-sex coupling and love-relationships have been around as long as the human species. Marriage has been for "heterosexuals only" in this and most cultures, but by no means *all*. And since when has "tradition" been the measure of justice? I guess women and blacks better stop trying to improve their lot, as well...

Your comments about bestiality and polygamy barely deserve a response. For one thing, animals cannot give fair consent. Polygamy, like incest, raises a host of other issues.

*We're* talking about 2 people--a couple-- who are already in a committed lifelong relationship, perhaps with children, but whose family is *already* being discriminated against.

Fighting for gay rights doesn't take away from any other cause. If your focus is elsewhere, terrific. If you have moral or religious objections to homosexuality, fine for you.

But keep your ugly mitts off the Constitution. And the Democratic party, dearie.
