The civil rights movement was originally fought by M.L. King and others to end discrimination aginst people because of their unalterable physical characteristics: race, skin color, gender, and I think physical handicaps can be included in this catagory. The gay lobby has cleverly twisted this principle to try to say that making a judgement against someone because of their behavior and lifestyle is the same as discrimination based on physical characteristics. Well it's not the same thing and the gay lobby has tricked and conned a lot of people.
Your counter-argument is lame.
Gay behavior doesn't affect you. Criminal behavior does.
As for "special" rights, heterosexual marriage is just that. A special right and protection for heterosexual couples.
That's not the point of this article. It is another bigoted attempt by the AFA to bully corporations to follow THEIR lifestyle and reject all others.
The American Taliban strikes again.
Which is precisely why the government should get out of the marriage business entirely. If the government wasn't bestowing special status on monogamous heterosexual marriages (including Britney Spears' one day marriage, Cher's nine-day marriage, and Anna Nicole Smith's highly peculiar one-year marriage), then other groups wouldn't be clamoring to get their government-issued licenses too.

The precise reason that the gays are able to twist these works to their preferences is because the government got involved at all. The solutions would have been more effective and thorough if it was left to the market and for society to naturally evolve. The involvement of government in "civil rights" areas have led to everyone standing in line with their hands out.
