Compromise?

Legislate the rights of all Americans away to satisfy some knee jerk reaction by the righties and the so-called Christian coalition?

Call it civil unions and you deny these folks the same protections, benefits and rights due to all Americans. I'm not gay and at the moment I have no gay acquaintenances (apologies to anyone here who might be and consider me a friend).

A compromise to me would be the same as the seperate but equal crap that the country endured. We know that it's not right! Why should we settle for it?

And when we are done shooting this proposed amendment we'll rally around the polling station and put him in the trash with the rest of the garbage.
