'Gay Rights' is bull. Its a Strawman argument as they already have every 'Right', like anyone else does. They want to get married fine, they have that Right;
Lance can marry Betty, or Betty can marry Bruce, or Bruce can marry Jane.
BUT - Lance can't marry Bruce and Betty can't marry Jane.

Its just like I can marry Marie, but I CAN'T marry my Dog.

It seems like eons ago but Lawrence v. Texas (539 U.S. 558) was only decided a few short years ago, in 2003. And after they 'gays won', I specifically recall all the 'gay rights leaders' saying they 'only wanted' anti sodomy laws overturned, the government out of the bedroom for consenting adults, and that they'd NEVER push for gay 'marriage'.

Well 'never' didn't last long, now did it.

They CLAIMED it was about consenting adults in private.

Except the USSC decision legalized same sex relations for minors as well AND for “Romeo & Romeo” exceptions to statutory rape laws (a minor below legal age of consent and an adult within a few years of the minor’s age).

And it isn’t just in private. This is stretching into marriage, same sex couple adoption of children (who do NOT get to consent to be raised in an alternative lifestyle home), indoctrination in schools as to the “diversity” of a pornocopia of sexualities, employers have also had to surrender their rights, churches and the Boy Scouts are at risk of compromise, and the heads of the GLBT task force have urged for an end to the prosecution of those who engage in sex acts in parks and public washrooms (they consider it discriminatory because their protected class get publicly exposed for their crimes and lose employment in the media and public schools, etc.).

Consenting ADULTS and PRIVATE were not the operative reasons for the decision. It was much more far reaching than that and they were well aware of it at the time. “Funny” the decision would come down during “Gay Pride Month”.

Why doesn’t Meghan McCain show us conservatives where in the Constitution it says that “We the People” have to accept homosexuality as being equal to heterosexuality?

The fact is that it says it nowhere. We the People have the right to representation regarding how the state treats issues of sexuality. Meghan McCain is against the People having this right.
