The biggest problem with the "gay rights" movement is that they do not want the same rights as everyone else, they want more. They want to shut down anyone and anything that they don't agree with. This agenda is being pushed by a small portion of an already small portion of the population. Nothing more than PC run amok.
Where do these RIGHTS things divided between that Phelps so called Church and the rights to protest against them stand. Freedom of Speech, in other words don't tell a wounded person how to cry. [Only thing I can think of as an example, one can do so but is this taking away the rights of the wonded to self expression ?? ]
Can children wear shirts to school with a picture of an aborted baby on the back????
What happens when a Muslim kid comes to school with a picture of the burning twin towers on the back of their jacket??
How about a kid named Amy Hoer that has " I am a Hoer kid "on their shirt.
Little John Hooker has a shirt with" all my family are Hookers."
I know a very nice family with the last name of GAY, what happens when they need a name tag WI their last name on it.
Now we are told that some of us have Sir Names that are are considered obscene by the DMV, no plate for you--- and how about names that sound Jewish, Latino, Polish, Asian that are not of the ethnic denomination one belongs to.
We do have freedom of speech unless it, our name, our religion , our basic right to speak does not offend complete strangers.
Freedom, we in America are free to move about the country with no problem unless we fly. Freedom to defend ourselves against others if we live in the right states. NH is great--open carry no license needed.
Freedom to walk the streets of a city covered in bling and take the chance of being robbed or killed late at night.
Freedom to eat and drink as we wish in some states.
Freedom to start a business as long as we have the money to pay for town taxes and pay off the Liquor Commission, the Zoning board, the Health Commission and the IRS rules and regulations.
We do not have the Right to drive a car, Farmers have little say with the Feds on what to plant in their fields.
We no longer have the right to grab a fishing pole and head out to the salt water rivers or sit on the dock of their own home and throw a line in the water without paying for a license to do so. A paid license to go fishing in the ocean !!!
OMG the Girl Scouts were banned from selling their cookies without a license in some towns.
The GAYS need to understand that we All are loosing our past Freedoms we have taken for granted. So they want to get married, BFD, lots of luck to them, one small freedom but they have no idea that they will loose just as many Freedoms as the rest of us.
They could be better off as single folks, once married there are few advantages, no kids to write off on the IRS, they will not any longer be considered any kind of minority. No minority grants from anyone for school or starting a business.
Gays had it made as a minority, now they marry and now cannot claim any special status as they have become just like any other married folk to the government.
