Why should they accept anything less than marriage for all....they are HUMAN with just as many rights as you....there are NOT second class citzens .....bible...god...blah blah blah...its about treating ALL people equal!!.. again they are HUMAN BEINGS!!!
The propaganda of the Gay Agenda is an apparent success. Gay people don't refer to gay marriage or same-sex marriage as either one of those terms, they refer to it as "equal marriage", in order to get people to believe that they want merely equal rights. That's the same reason they have associated and equated Gay Rights with Civil Rights, and no longer refer to it as Gay Rights. Who wants to be labeled as being against Civil Rights? <gasp> Who wants to treat someone less than equal? Perish the thought.
The problem is, it's not equal marriage, it's same-sex marriage. It's not being treated equally with the same rights as everyone else, it's being treated with special rights. The only, only, only context where same-sex marriage is the same as any other marriage is when they talk about "I wanna marry the person I love. Straight people get to do that!". But that's not what marriage is, or ever has been about. Marriage is about the legal union of a man (a husband) and a woman (a wife). Period.
What gays want to do is redefine what Marriage means, in order to give them special rights. They currently have the right to get married, same as everyone else does. By the same token, neither gays nor anyone else are allowed to marry someone of the same sex. Why, after tens of thousands of years, do we suddenly have this great need to redefine what Marriage means? It's not like we haven't had homosexuals around for the same time frame. The reason it needs to be redefined is because gays want it, and they want it really, really bad, therefore they should have it.
Horse hockey.
The problem is, gays have been offered Civil Unions, which give them the exact same legal rights and responsibilities as a married couple (which I believe gay couples should be entitled to, without question), but they have rejected it out of hand. Don't want anything to do with it. Not good enough. Pooey. Clearly, they don't want the same rights as others, they want special rights, they want the right to redefine what Marriage means. Why do they want to do this? Because Marriage is, at it's core, a religious institution and they wanna
get one over on The Church. The Church has persecuted homosexuals for centuries, and homosexuals want a little payback. They want to win.
Ironically, if they'd had just accepted the civil union as the path to marriage, within a few shorts years (10-30, I'd say) it would be referred to as being married, as a civil union is a de facto marriage, anyway, and they'd have it. But they want the "M" word. And now they've got massive resistance against same-sex marriage, so massive that they only way they can get it is by activist judges who legislate from the bench or worm their way politically into the scattered legislative bodies by relentless "equal rights" propaganda. But put it up for a vote by people who don't have to worry about getting re-elected, and the same-sex marriage issue goes down in flames.
The problem with the NC Constitutional Amendment is it also forbids civil unions, which is just bald faced persecution. Civil unions should be allowed, so that couples have the same legal benefits, and responsibilities, as any other couple who is legally joined in marriage. But they shouldn't get the "M" word, because that redefines the meaning of the word, and it redefines it simply because they want to win, and they want to win bad.
