[QUOTE="trasnanadtonnta, post: 1199932, member: 6063"] Well, to play devil's advocate, maybe they think you already have the same rights as everyone else: you have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex. I mean, if you're a traditional Catholic, for example, that's what marriage is. It's a union that has as its central purpose the biological production of children. If that's your concept of marriage then wanting to 'marry' someone of the same gender makes no sense. It's like wanting to buy a toaster so you can have more fresh juice. What someone who thinks like this needs to understand is that it's not THEIR concept of marriage that's up for grabs, it's the legal one. And the legal one can't be held to ransom by the unreasonable and/or unjust demands of one group, because people can't/shouldn't have to opt out of the state the same way that they can opt out of religion.
