Your twisted pretzel glue logic and hypocritical hyperbole is false,
and does not pass muster, but it is also highly offensive and
misleading.
Same gender couples do NOT have the same rights as opposite gender
couples. Far, far, from it, in fact.
DOMA and many other laws which discriminate against same gendered
couples and LGBT people are unjust, unconstitutional, and based upon
animus, homophobia, and prejudice.
Civil Marriage is not the only right denied to LGBT people. In thirty
two states is is legal to fire people simply for being gay. Gays face
bullying, violemce, hatred, and homophobia on a daily basis, as
evidenced in this group and others. LGBT people are discriminated
against in many other ways you do not even realize. Financial
inequalities, disdain, hatred, and discrimination are rampant.
Nothing less than full LGBT EQUAL civil rights is acceptable. NOTHING less.
