no i am definately not for special rights... like i think affirmative action is a horrible concept...

the Gay rights issue is complex... the Christian Right liken Homosecuality to Pedophiles and rapists... so to them, Marriage is "special treatment"

The Left Sees Homosexuality as a human trait... like having Blue Eyes... so to them Marriage is an Equal Right

of coarse this goes back to religion and the fact that if religious bias wa sremoved from the equation Homosexuals would be allowed to be married... as it is only the Religious teachings that prevent it.
