OK.  So now you're talking special rights.  Right?  More rights than everyone else has.  I'll go slow so you can follow along.  Can a gay man marry a woman?  yes.  Just like a straight.  Seems equal to me.  Oh, but wait...now its more than what is already the norm.  In my view, the left is not promoting tolerance.  We already have laws that forbid intolerance.  Now the left is forcing acceptance.  Whether one agrees w/ it or not.  By fiat and by legislation.  Is that freedom?  Or is that totalitarianism?  To force a person to accept something they don't want to.  For whatever reason.  Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.  Broad and general in scope.  Let me ask you.  Do you have or do you know anyone w/ young daughters?  Were you ecstatically celebrating the fact that any male, regardless of age, can now walk into the little girls room at elementary school?  Let's see what the other parents that read CB say.  Or will this response be stuffed.  Gotta jet man.  I'm boarding now.  cya
