There are lots of people suffering what may or may not be self inflicted illness but that gives no-one the right to refuse them the same basic rights of all other people.

Imagine stating that we will take away the rights of hetrosexual people who eat junk food, are obese, smoke, drink alcohol to excess, or have unprotected sex or even the rights of straight folk singers for not knowing what real folk is.... whatever it is

This thread is about the rights of gay people being able to marry. Nothing more or less. It has now been made into something that has been gone over so many times I know it better than the bible.

Could we perhaps let this thread keeps its topic and stay on track with that without it becoming yet another faux war cry to save gaydom from its own 'iniquities'? They are big enough and old enough to look after themselves. If they had the same rights as everyone else the topic being discussed, or trying to be discussed rationally and with fairness here, would not be needed at all.
