Its a special right because homosexuals do not deserve equal rights as heterosexuals.

Wait...according to your religion, nobody deserves salvation but gets it anyway. Much like your rights.
Care to explain yourself?
This person is pretty special... Later they say:
'No, homosexuals are not inferior to heterosexuals. And I am all for equality so long as they have civil unions and not marriages. Actually, I could care less if they have marriages because their marriages aren't really true marriages anyway.'
Pretty much laying it all out there, arentcha, kiddo?
Fucking featherwood. And the sad part is, she claims to be bi. Someone ought to dope-slap her.
"If you read the entire thread, she changes her position over and over again. Then when caught in her own contradiction...she bails out."
see comment #420738. this is not new.
More christian hypocrisy..their own savior told them they have to love everyone whether you like them or not, whether they hate you or not, the same as he did....but of course they conveniently overlook that loophole
420738---I am inclined to think these guys are ALL mentally ill. In years past, people who spouted these kinds of beliefs, particularly the ones who talked about such nonsense as the rapture and wanting to hasten the end of the world, were locked up as delusionally mentally ill. And the ones who insisted they were persecuted (for being Christians or anything else) were locked away as paranoids. Now they just infect lonely, frightened, immature and insecure people with their irrational rhetoric.
While I'm not a big fan of the nostalgia movement, having lived in the '50s and clearly remembering them for the repressive times they were, this is one instance in which I think we should consider returning to the old ways.
Please tell me this kid is a Poe. Please!
Because, otherwise, I am going to have to reach thru the computer's monitor and slap her across the face with a clue stick.
All. Human. Beings. Deserve equal rights. I suppose you haven't read the 14th amendment of the US Constitution, holding that all citizens are entitled to equal protection under the law? Or even read the New Testament with the good old "there is no male or female, Jew or gentile in Christ?"
You are not better just for being an asshat. You're just an asshat.
Wow. After reading that thread, I'm inclined to believe that she's either suffering from multiple personalities, drug problems, or a case of dementia.

You first.
You, PaladinGirl, have the right to remain silent.
And, in your case, it's more of a duty.
"and we're killing the ones left, so it's going to be good."
Go on then. Tell us how many homosexuals you've killed, JoJo.
KKK member (on voting): It is a special right because negroes do not deserve equal rights as whites.
Male chauvinist pig (on voting): It is a special right because women do not deserve equal rights as men.
PaladinGirl (on marriage): It is a special right because homosexuals do not deserve equal rights as heterosexuals.
They're human beings, you ignorant twit. Equal rights =/= "special" rights
Not allowing homosexuals the same rights as heterosexuals is allowing the heterosexuals a SPECIAL right. Allowing homosexuals and heterosexuals the SAME rights is not allowing ANYONE a special right, it is giving everyone the SAME rights. I'm glad that we could have this little discussion on civics, and I hope that you have learned something.
Okay, she's nutso.
Nevertheless, I'd like to comment on the issue she raised. The claim of 'special rights' is based on the argument that gays already have the same rights as heterosexual men and women. This is not true. A gay man and a straight woman currently have different rights. Each might love the same man, but only one of them has the right in law to marry him.
The fact that straight men don't want the right to marry a man, does not mean they have that right. Women do have that right, men don't, unequal rights.
Therein lies the rub, though. We *AREN'T* asking for special rights...just equality. But you seem to have covered that one too. I really hope I get to catch you screeching about the persecution visited upon you and your fellow Xians, so I can throw this in your face.
What's "equal" about exclusive rights? Prohibiting homosexuals, or any minority, from exercising a right pretty much makes it an exclusive special right.
Equal rights apply to every living human. No ambiguity, no equivocation.
Everyone.
Now, let's redefine the word right. If a group of people, for reasons you don't bother to explain don't have the same rights as others, what are those "special rights"?.It's like saying that men have "special uteri".
I am a female and I got to put in, so gays shouldnt be given the equal rights of the hetro people, so maybe women shouldnt be allowed to vote, work, get an education (which you lack). but i do accept your honesty in the matter atleast you voiced every homophobic christians belief on the matter.. you might wanna voice sexist one's too.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That includes the gays.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
