Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
TIA:

Yes, entirely too cryptic. Let us be clear, as there has been entirely too much misdirection, indirection, and passive aggression in this thread to make for a good discussion.

1. Specifically what minority are you referring to? In my various posts I have generally been referring to the minority of adult, consenting citizens wishing to enter the civil state known as marriage by mutual choice, who happen to be of the same gender as each other.

2. What "special rights" are you referring to? In my mention of denied rights I am talking specifically about the legal privileges of spousal representation, joint ownership, beneficiary status, insurance coverage and any other civil privileges that are endowed on people in married status.

I am being clear and specific. Do me the courtesy of being likewise and do not ask me to go trawling through your posting history in order to perform an exegesis on your obscure referents.

Thanks and cheers,

A
