Funny, all of the quotes you pulled from my past posts only confirm that I've never said gays need special rights.

And what rights do they not have that we have?

None. That's exactly my point. Gays have the same rights as everyone else. No more and no less. Only some people (especially here) seem to have no problem refusing to recognize those rights.

Protecting and defending those rights is what I'm arguing for. Some on here seem to think it's OK to abridge someone's rights if they personally are offended by what the person might do with their freedom, or if their behavior isn't given the blessing of the government.

And funny isn't it that I never asked about special rights. That's your word not mine. Even after it was pointed out to you repeatedly you cling to the lie rather than admit that you didn't answer the question.

me->And what rights do they not have that we have?

you->None. That's exactly my point. Gays have the same rights as everyone else. No more and no less. Only some people (especially here) seem to have no problem refusing to recognize those rights.

And just how are these rights being violated? By denying them the special right to marry someone of the same sex? I don't have that right why should they? By denying them the right to molest my children before they reach the age of consent? By denying them unsupervised access to other's children? I don't have any of these rights why should they. I don't have the right to perform sex acts in public. Why should they?

Everything you say seems to be pushing for special rights for sexual deviants since they aren't being deprived of any rights that they already have. Now unless you can show proof of where their existing rights are being denied we will have to assume that you are indeed pushing for special rights for them.
