votes shudn't be taken on human rights coz a majority of people are bigoted... the delhi high court verdict on june 22nd, 2009 on homosexuality - this is a human rights issue and just because 70% of the people think it is wrong doesn't make them right... we must apply logic and reasoning on such issues and not the uninformed and often prejudiced views of the majority...
my sis and i too think marriage is an irritance... infact, it has been stated that the greatest hurdle of emancipation of women in india is marriage[and marriage of course goes back to religion]... and what prestda1 said was true... with congress full of creationist, homophobic buttheads, there is no way u can get that bill discussed leave alone passed...
@Prestda: Maybe someone should start teaching heterosexual marriage in the schools; they don't seem to be working too well. I actually think all legal marriage should be abolished--keep it in the churches and synagogues if you must--but in the meantime, absolutely everyone should have the same rights to marry who they want. The only arguments against gay marriage are religious and/or tradition, neither of which should stand in the American justice system.
I was trying to be sarcastic, but alternate sexual education is not a bad idea.
Being heterosexual myself, I never had an sexual identity problem growing up, but I can imagine that for a young gay person it could be a very confusing time.
Maybe not as much now, but back in the 60s "homo" was used as a derogatory term.
Kids probably haven't changed all that much and probably give gays a hard time.
That is another reason to teach alternate sexual preferences early.
your analogy to homosexuality and race is misguided. being gay may or may not be a choice but living the gay lifestyle is a choice and that's why we are here. the government doesn't ask you whether you are gay or straight. sexual orientation has nothing to do with the issue.you can't compare an immutable characteristic (race gender etc) to somebody's behavior. A lifestyle is not a minority. Jews, blacks and women were discriminated against for who they were not for who they were having sex with

Once Apartheid is eliminated everywhere, we will have to work on eliminating "class."
Those who are above the law, like George Bush and his gang.

How about teaching homo-sexual education in elementary schools? Sound ludicrous?
It could have a drastic impact on over-population.
BTW: I am heterosexual.

Once they start trying to teach gay marriage in schools, time will not be on your side, it will prove the activists were liars.
