All American citizens have certain rights because they are American citizens. Nobody I know of is trying to strip homosexuals or adulterers or liars of their citizenship, right to vote, right to own property, right to a trial by jury if accused of a crime, or any other legal right given to all adult Americans.
Homosexuals shouldn't have extra rights simply because they're homosexuals. They have no right to marry to each other. Cultures around the world for thousands of years only give men and women the right to marry. Two men shouldn't be allowed to marry each other any more than a man should be able to marry his dog or his sister.

Homosexuality !=adultery, lying
Homosexuality != incest, beastiality.
In conclusion, fuck you sideways with a pitchfork.
They´re not having extra rights, they are just demanding one who is in principle not granted to them. Following that stupid logic of yours, slaves, women or minorities were demanding extra rights. And after all, haven´t all cultures, at some point of time agreed on that?. That it´s old and common doesn´t necessarily right and permissible.
Homosexuals are being denied the right to marry the person that they love and have a legal sexual relationship with.
Since a sexual relationship with your dog or your sister is not legal, it is also not relevant. Unless you wish to argue that homosexuality itself should be made illegal, then you have no logically consistent argument.
Cultures around the world for thousands of years only give men and women the right to marry.
Japanese, Greek, Romans, Indians, Bonobos etc. they all accepted male homosexuality (and female as well, but probably only during threesomes since they were "inferior" at the time, except with the bonobos). Just because your bible caused all of that to dissapear (apart from the bonobos), doesn't mean that your bible is correct.
Homosexuals shouldn't have extra rights simply because they're homosexuals.
Nor should heterosexuals.
True, cultures around the world for thousands of years have only given the right to marry to a man-woman couple. But I'm afraid you can't actually use that as an argument for your cause since cultures around the world for thousands of years have also given that right to same sex couples. It just depends on what culture you look at.
And Hande, the standard fundie argument is that homosexuals do have the same rights to marry as heterosexuals. Every gay man has every right to marry any woman he chooses, and a gay woman can marry the man of her choice. See? The exact same rights. The fact that their possition is a smug little pice of Ebola-ridden monkey fecees doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest.
What's funny here is there are cultures where you can do all three, animal, family, same sex, through out time. Hell, the first two are viable in some jesusy based religions, though I've never caught the third in any.

You obviously didn't look very hard... And stop lumping homosexuality with acts that hur other people.

They don't have the right to live with someone all their lives, make a home with them, and then when that person dies, be able to continue receiving part of their Social Security benefits, their company's spousal medical insurance coverage or enforce various other rights given to heterosexual spouses (Medicaid rules, bankruptcy, etc.).
Actually, you could argue that banning homosexual marriage is unconstitutional because of gender discrimination. I mean, isn't there some sort of law that you cannot deny someone something solely because of their gender? And if a man wanted to marry another man, isn't his gender the sole reason you would deny him this request?
All American citizens have certain rights because they are American citizens. Nobody I know of is trying to strip fundies or adulterers or liars of their citizenship, right to vote, right to own property, right to a trial by jury if accused of a crime, or any other legal right given to all adult Americans.
Fundies shouldn't have extra rights simply because they're fundies. They have no right to spead their idiocy to others. Cultures around the world for thousands of years only give politicians the right to spread idiocy. A fundie shouldn't be allowed to spread idiocy any more then an adult or child should be allowed to spread idiocy.
Fixed it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
