Whether u have the option to hide ur sexuality or bleach ur skin white ...No one should be deprived of their individual rights as long as those rights are not hurting another human being.


A black person if they choose can hid their race ...as proven in Ebony magazine.
Re-read my original post. You made an assumption that I did not approve of the ruling. I made no such claim. The only thing I said was that to attribute gay rights with racial rights is annoying due to the fact that they are not the same thing.

This is not actually not about race. But if you read the article, which by your responses you did not, they were saying that this ruling was akin to California taking the lead in dropping the ban on inter-racial marriages. This is a tenous link at best. But it is the usual mode of gay rights, or any movement for that matter, to use the racial fight for equality as the same. THEY ARE NOT!! The fight for gender equality it akin to the fight for racial eqaulity, others are not. No fight, is less deserving than the other. But they don't have to be the same to be right.

Falsehood you mentioned:
Gay man would stay single and sad for the rest of his life before this ruling..

Simply an absurd comment. I was the only person on this site arguing that homosexuality was not completely a choice. You're good at digging up old threads, go and look. So my point was not to discuss the ruling but the use of racial equality as the same fight. IT IS NOT!!!

AGAIN! since you have a habit of ignoring the most important point of other people's post.

I AM NOT AGAINST THE RULING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

California has always had the most liberal domestica partneship laws that encompasses gays. So what is the difference. I am not even religious, so I don't have any doctrine that forces me to stand against it.

Again let me re-state, since you might not have seen ,my very first comment on this thread. The reason why I posted this article was not about whether the ruling was fair, just, wrong or otherwise but how it will affect the presidential race.
