No, not quite. I don't think anyone is against same sex unions. We're against same sex MARRIAGE.
Civil rigts are not a want list for aggrieved groups. Homosexuals are not permitted to "marry" within the same gender, neither are heterosexuals, asexuals, eunuchs, elves, tall people or caveman. To permit same sex "marriage" would be offering special rights to a small sector of society because they want to. I want a 1967 Shelby GT 500, but I don't expect the government to give me one because I want it.
I don't know why I bother to preach to the choir, maybe a curious liberal lurker will read it and have a light go on.
I find only utter arrogance in that remark. You do not speak for me, and for many.
I - and I believe many like me -- are against any special vehicle of law that would condone or permit homosexual relationships. What the heck is a "civil union" except that?
Exactly. I always say the homosexuals have exactly the same rights that I have. I am heterosexual and I am not permitted to marry someone of the oposite sex either!
