They are the ones saying they don't have the "same" rights, just pointing out that they do have the "same" rights. Are you admitting the homosexual activists are waaaaaaaanting "additional" rights?
It depends on how you define "rights". Does each human adult have the right to wed the human adult that he or she loves? Not necessarily: Heterosexuals may. Yet Homosexuals do not have that right. Yet, each may wed someone of the opposite sex.
"That depends on what is, is" Sound familiar?
No. That is probably a different issue.
Now, you want to re-define "rights" because it is clear that homosexuals have the same rights and limitations that heterosexuals do.
To discuss whether or not people have equal rights, must have clearly agreed upon definition of what constitutes "rights".
Do we re-define woman as a person that wears a skirt, and man as one that wears a tie...
I am not attempting to re-define anything. Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), while males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY). It is as simple as that.
You "choose" to be in love. Attraction may be a different story, but each person "chooses" to be "in love". Ask anyone that has been married over a few years if they "chose" to stay in the marriage (or for that matter if they "chose" to end the marriage).
Yes. People choose to be left-handed or right-handed. People choose to smoke. People choose to drink. People choose fat-free foods. People choose foods that have high fat content.
I have loved and do love a lot of people. That does not mean that I have the right (or would want) to marry any or all of them.
I agree with you on that facet of "rights". Just because you love something does not mean that you have the right to get married to it.
Homosexuals want to say that they are dedicated to their same sex partner, yet some on this thread have said they have biological children. How is that possible?
Do you know how babies are created?
Did they "choose" to make a baby with the opposite sex? Because they did not make a baby with their same sex. Homosexuals "choose" their sexual partner. Some want to pretend that they (or their partner) can stand in as the opposite sex for marriage vows. It is a faux marriage. It is pretend.
Homosexual marriage is not a faux marriage. It is not pretend.
I am not saying that they don't love each other. I am not saying that they are not willing to dedicate their lives to each other. I am saying that two people of the same sex as a couple are very different that two people of the opposite sex as a couple. Why must the homosexual activists make a mockery of marriage, by re-defining it to meet their agenda? Why can't they be honest about their intentions?
By definition of "same sex" and "opposite sex", two people of the same sex as a couple are different from two people of the opposite sex as a couple. I grant you that. A couple of males can't produce an egg on their own. A couple of females can't produce sperm on their own. That does not make a mockery of marriage.
