Granted, I don't actually want to do either of those things, but if I did, are my "rights" actually being violated? And would I be correct in labeling anyone who disagreed with me as a "hater" or a "hate group"? I'm just trying to understand this whole argument of "rights".
Oh Alan, really? Are you really going to trot out the 'ol "if we let women vote then we have to let dogs and cats vote"? It's the goofiest argument ever. It's really NOT a slippery slope from affording gays all the rights 'we' enjoy to incest, harems, or life as we know it ending. Your hair won't fall out (or grow on your palm), daughters won't marry fathers, and unfortunately your neighbor won't stop beating his wife.

Are you worried about the sanctity of marriage? Ok, well then, lets out law divorce. Cause that is what is destroying families, not Steve and Dave holding hands down the road.

You keep saying you are non religious. So why do you care? All the arguments are religious based.
