Because homosexuality is a MORAL issue, not a CIVIL one. Homosexuality has to do with behavior. It's not about what a person is but what a person does. Unbelievable!

@Uzbekistan771 When you say "As for "separate but equal", if they're separate it's because they [gays] want to be. "

Would you have said the same about black people during their civil rights movement?

I'd hit it

@tosxpert I like your desire to find an acceptable middle ground. I think we have definitions (multiple) for gay relationships already. Many are sanctioned by various religions, and have sacrements and ceremony. What they want is to legitimize their lifestyle and stifle any dissenting opinion.

As for "separate but equal", if they're separate it's because they want to be. The constitution makes us all equal, just not in our sexual preferences.

@GodVlogger The priveledge and perk of marriage...not a right. The perks of marriage is available to everyone, just not how they want it.

[Uzbekistan771]

@GodVlogger Your logic is flawed. Gays have exactly the same rights as heterosexuals in the USA, just not "special rights". Similar to those the Klan fought for for non Jews and Whites Only, you seek for gays. Many of us have fought for the rights of everyone, and will defend them to death. However, there is no right to marry an underage boy, your mother, your 5 girlfriends at the same time, or a 9 year old girl...these aren't "Marriage", as defined in the USA.

@Uzbekistan771 Lastly, you call people "bigoted" if they endorse equality for all citizens (regardless of sexual orientation).

By comparison, you would be like the KKK saying that black people (or pro-equality whites) are bigoted by wanting equality for all citizens regardless of skin color.

Your "traditional views" are bigoted views. The fact that these views have been around a long time (too long!) points to why they should be modernized, not why your ancient bigotry should be upheld.

[GodVlogger]

@Uzbekistan771 You say that I have the same rights as everyone else, but that is not true. As a married heterosexual, I have MORE rights than gay citizens. My straight marriage gives me many many privileges/perks that are NOT extended to gays.

[GodVlogger]

@Uzbekistan771 Actually, Santorum HAS expressed support for a "constitutional amendment" to deny marriage equality to gays, thus he would make this a 'constitutional' right that excludes gays.

[Uzbekistan771]

@GodVlogger Sen Santorum expressed no interest in denying anyone any constitutional right. Gays have no special standing for special rights in the US. Your comment is inaccurate, and biggoted against those with traditional viewpoints of right and wrong. You have the same rights as everyone else, but nothing special about being "gay".
