"It baffles me how people do not consider it discrimination when we deny rights to one group solely based on sexual preference. It's no different, to me, than denying a group rights based on their skin color."
First off, let me say I don't have strong feelings about gay marriage one way or another. I am not going to protest for it or against it. In general, I'd say let it roll. It doesn't effect me one way or another. On a ballot, I would probably vote for it. On the issue of gay marriage, many of the opponents feel like it is a deviant behavior. They classify right up there with nambla or sex with animals. That is why they are against it. Is it discrimination? Probably. But by the same token, it would be discrimination by stopping nambla from exercising what it does. Where do you draw the line. It's a very tricky slope and one I really don't want to get involved in. I have confidence that gay marriage will eventually become a right in this country. On an aside, I would think there are some hidden opponents of gay marriage that don't get the publicity they should. I believe insurance companies would loathe gay marriage. It would increase the number of possible beneficiaries for life insurance and health insurance. I have never seen anyone else make this argument so I could be completely wrong.
