Hey gay people! I want you to know that even though you can't serve in teh military or have  
 teh marriage you shouldn't feel like second class citizens.

Hope you will be satisfied with civil unions and "don't ask, don't tell".

and
 
And I hope you also know that there are a lot of us hets who are pushing to get you your basic civil rights because we know it's the right thing to do.

Hets?? First the queers expropriated a perfectly good word, and made it synonymous with revolting sexual perversion. Now they're apparently trying to make up new words. We don't need "het" when "normal" serves the purpose.

Hets ? short for heterosexual I suppose.

Though I must admit, I like it better when they refer to me as a 'breeder'. Breeder has a certain... je ne sais quoi to it.. Very sexy..  :rotf:

I think they are confused.  The military keeps people out for all kinds of reasons, physical and mental.  If it was a "civil right" we'd have all kinds of "special" divisions.  The 41st Armless Brigade? 

As for marriage, it's there for all men and women to enjoy together.  One choosing not to participate is also a civil right.  It's sort of like the United States Postal Service.  You can use it and get a real postmark, or you can go the alternate routes and achieve your goal without a kiss from official society.  It's up to you, but it's there.

That's great! It reminded me of an old Monty Python skit. Remember the Walker Brigade?
