It looks like I really did lose you.
A positive right is a right that imposes an obligation on someone else. For instance, if there is a right to health care it means that someone else is obligated to provide you health care.
I believe that gay marriage is a positive right because it would obligate others (for instance, employers who offer spousal benefits) to recognize the union as a marriage.
I think maybe I didn’t make it clear that I don’t believe in positive rights. When I say that gay marriage is a positive right, that means I’m against it.
I think we’re on the same side of this issue.
~sigh~
Once again I jumped to wrong conclusions.
Very sorry.
