I just endured a few minutes on FoxNews of some tool trying to equate his fight for Gay Marriage with the Civil Rights movement. Let me make this clear… Gay Marriage is not a civil right.
Black Americans fought for the same rights and laws reserved for white people. They fought for a system that was color blind and equal. They wanted to sit at the same seat at the lunch counter, the same seat on the bus and drink from the same water fountain. They fought to be treated the same. Not different but equal, the same. Go to the same schools, have the same protections, enjoy the same privileges and opportunities.
That is a movement for civil rights. But what are Gay Marriage proponents fighting for? An additional or special right. Homosexuals already enjoy the same rights as the rest of Americans, the law is blind to sexual orientation. You can drink from the same water fountain, sit on the same seats on the bus, go to the same schools, and marry the same people everyone else can marry… a consenting adult of the opposite sex.
Gay Marriage proponents are not whining, complaining and fighting for the same rights as everyone else… they are trying to obtain a special or new right that no one else has. If you believe Gay Marriage should be permissible, then debate that. But stop calling it a “civil right”. It is not, and you are doing a disservice to everyone who actually fought for civil rights when you make that claim. Civil Rights leaders fought against the “Separate but Equal” mantra… but that is exactly what you are asking for.

By the way, Barack Obama doesn’t support Gay Marriage. Joe Biden doesn’t support Gay Marriage. Rick Warren doesn’t support Gay Marriage. So you all look like fools when you protest Rick Warren giving the invocation at Obama’s inauguration… because he doesn’t support Gay Marriage. Liberals didn’t mind telling me to believe everything Obama said during the election race, yet they conveniently overlook his own words when it suits them. Unless President-Elect Obama has been transmitting some secret signal of Gay Marriage approval only detectable by gaydar, I would suggest your protests against Rick Warren giving the invocation are misplaced. Maybe you should have been protesting your Obamamessiah before he was elected, instead of blindly voting for him.
