It is obvious from his first post that Amos wished to make a political point by starting this thread....."Liberal"v Right Wing the issue of "rights" only incidental.

As the thread has gone on, the real issue of "rights" has slowly been brought to the fore.
If the thread has caused those who simply read but don't contribute to the debate to think a little more deeply about human rights and how they are apportioned, then I am well pleased.
There can never be any winners and losers in a discussion like this, the object is to increase understanding in all who follow the arguments.
Amazing how Little Hawk's devastating post on the "Witch hunt mentality" was vindicated only a few posts later by a concerted attack by opposers of free speech

At the end of the day, if "marriage" is to be redefined in the image of one minority, then it must be redefined in the image of any form of relationship that human beings demand....to refuse entry to the "marriage club" would be sheer hypocrisy.
Group marriage, incestuous marriage...the sky's the limit

I don't think for one moment that the majority of homosexuals want all the furore of the marriage issue, they are being manipulated as political pawns by their bown fundamentalists and people not unlike Amos.... all over the Western world.
