Careful with that talking point. It's a good comparison only to a point. Government can differentiate between behaviors, even legal behaviors. It can encourage some and discourage others. Smoking for example. A better comparison is their voting rights. They have the same right to representation in our government as everyone else. They can argue their issues before legislatures they had a part in choosing.

True. It IS a very good rebuttal though, especially when used in conjunction with their right to vote. It just angers me that anyone could so callously compare an issue that transcends race, religion or location on this planet with the civil rights movement or ANY civil rights issue at all.

Also, if they didn't have the same right to representation in their government as everyone else, why are there openly gay state legislators, mayors and senators? Why did we have a lesbian AG?
