Is the battle for gay rights a civil rights battle?
From Obama's inaugural speech.

"We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall ... Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

Today Obama placed an original place for the battle for gay civil rights, Stonewall along side the same original battleground's for women's rights(Seneca Falls) and African-American rights(Selma).

So the poll question is............

Is the battle for gay rights a civil rights battle?

Well it would be only fair to tax people on their intellect. In the end it does translate to money after all.

No, I'm just calling out the inanity of the idea that every change made in the name of "progress" or whatever is automatically good.

More on topic, people who are homosexual have the right to marry a member of the opposite sex. They choose not to.

So if people could only marry someone of the same sex regardless if they were gay or not that would be ok with you, right?

And in some places you would have the right to marry a person of the same sex. It doesn't mean you will for the same obvious reasons homosexuals largely wouldn't marry people of the opposite sex.

I'm just saying people that want to marry their dog is real, and it is past due time we give them their civil liberties and champion for the rights the rest of us obviously take from them.

The dog has no say in the matter...unlike the individuals in a gay relationship. Analogy fail.

Are you denying the returning love a pet has? Pets deserve the same rights as you. Not me of course, but definitely some of you.

Can a dog give legal consent? Can a dog sign a contract?
