"First of all, why should homosexuals have "domestic partnerships" and not three men? Three women? Two women and a man? etcetc. Or a brother and sister? Aunt and nephew? Why should same sex sexual practices be rewarded and other sexual affinities (such as a threesome) not be? Why should platonic relationships not be so rewarded?"

Are you talking about governmnet rewards? Why would we reward those -there is no reason to. I have brown hair and live with a red head - there is no reason for the goverment to reward us. But if we choose to form a household we have that right. Now as it happens we are male/female married couple so that was just an example.

Now that I'm back from work and well fed I'll do a better job responding.

"There are NO RIGHTS that everyone else has that homosexuals do not already have."

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.

What do you mean, "hide who they are"? Are you talking about gay bath houses and gay pride parades here, or are you talking about "out" homosexuals being teachers and joining the military? Write in clear English, please, not slogans that are designed to heighten emotion but have no meaning.

Additionally, your comment "hide who they are" is a talking point of gay rights activists. It means that their sex acts ARE their identity. Sex acts are chosen and voluntary. If you mean their feelings, we all have zillions of feelings. Are people supposed to be grouped in identity brackets because of their "feelings"? Or because of their chosen sex acts? What about bestialophiles not hiding who they are? What about incestophiles not hiding who they are? What about pedophiles not hiding who they are? What about polyamoryphiles not hiding who they are?"

If you don't get the difference under the American system of adults who don't hurt anybody being different from people who abuse animals or children then I don't know how to convince you. it sounds like we have a fundamental difference of opinion over the power of government.

And while you are entitled to your opinion, I am convinced that opinions like that are hurting conservatism - you seek to extend the power of government over our personal lives and there are enough people who call themselves conservatives being very noisy about this so that all conservatives get labeled as seeking to have big government. It is very unfortunate.
