Re: After Final Arguments in Prop. 8 Trial, Maggie Gallagher Expects Judge will Overt
Words don't belong to any particular group....and sorry, you are wrong, people who seek to deny rights/privileges to others that they believe that they themselves are "entitled" to are absolutely bigoted.
It has been ruled not a "right" my more states. Regardless...
The debate is about the definition of marriage. People who are against gay marriage aren't homophobes, bigots, or against equality. We define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, nothing bigoted about that. I am all for civil union benefits and some kind of legal status for gay couples, but I won't allow it to be called marriage or recognized as such. California voted to define marriage, not to ban homosexuality. Californians voted, and the majority voted to define marriage as a union between a man and woman. It is bigoted to impose the definition that marriage is between any consenting adult upon the majority who voted to define it as a union between a man and woman.
