Despite gay-rights advocates' efforts to sell their agenda as the next step in the civil-rights movement, the courts and the country are not yet sold on their one gigantic premise

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | The U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing states to ban gay adoption may surprise some, because the high court two years ago, in effect, legalized homosexuality.

But this decision shows that the law, for now, seems to have caught up with public opinion on gay-rights matters.

There is a consensus that homosexuals deserve the same basic rights as all Americans. But those individual rights may be tempered due to public concerns about the impact of homosexual conduct on society.

And despite gay-rights advocates' efforts to sell their agenda as the next step in the civil-rights movement, the courts and the country are not yet sold on their one gigantic premise:

That when it comes to questions about conflicting rights and government protections, homosexuality should merit the same status in the legal pecking order as does race.

Sorry, OT but I need help posting this:

A good subject, I think, to discuss. Is the GOP ready for this? Will the extreme right wing give a little? I believe now is no time to draw a line in the sand. Jo Ann Davidson is simply perceived pro-abortion/gay rights. No proof.

The Supreme Court will not be able to duck this forever, but letting the lower court's decision stand is, as an article states, a bad sign for the gay rights movement. Were it not for more and more anecdotal evidence to the ability of homosexuals to change their orientation as well as mental health practitioners saying that sexual behavior is learned one. The gay rights activists are starting to circle the bowl on the final ride. Comparing sexual orientation to race, sex, nationality or disability is not supportable since it a choice. They should have the same rights as any other human being no more, no less. They are being told they are not special. One less victim group, hooray.

"The gay rights activists are starting to circle the bowl on the final ride."

A person's race is usually obvious but homosexuality can easily be hidden. (Don't ask, don't tell)

If a homosexual is being discriminated against, it has to start with some overt act or speech that identifies him as such.
