"You have not explained why you think that anyone should get special legal recognition because of their methods of sexual gratification."
I don't think that at all. In fact I am specifically against all extra rights or legal recognition sexual orientation or practices.
You are inconsistent in your statements. One one hand you say "I am specifically against all extra rights or legal recognition sexual orientation or practices" and yet OTOH you say:
"Yes but some people are trying to prevent the formation of legal households (not marriage but other legal arrangements) based on sexual orientation. That seems to be a violation of equal protection."
You are disagreeing with yourself. You can't stand on both sides of this issue. Either a person has special recognition because of his/her sexual practices, or he doesn't. I am very clear - no special or different rights or recognition because of varied sexual practices of self-proclaimed "identity". You are seemingly trying to straddle the fence on this one.
Civil unions, domestic partnerships, and so on are just marriage by a different name, and homosexual activists aren't satisfied with these appeasements. Why not? Because they admit they want to re-arrange society and change the very meaning of family. How do I know this? Years of reading and study. I have a list of quotes from homosexual leaders saying this unashamedly. I'll look for it and put it up on this thread later.
And given the fact that there are who knows how many former homosexuals, and more and more people are finally understanding that homosexuality can be treated in many cases, that people don't have to be "gay", the entire foundation for any special recognition of any immutable "gay identity" is gone.
