@1nurse99 – I’ve never seen any sort of paperwork that requires you to disclose your race. And no, it won’t ask if you’re gay or straight – but it will ask if you’re single or married. Heterosexual couples are afforded all sorts of benefits by the government, but homosexual couples don’t get any. I don’t think anyone chooses to be gay. I don’t see how an elementary school kid could choose to be gay when doing so means they’ll be bullied to the point where they want to kill themselves. I don’t see how someone could choose a lifestyle where they’ll face constant discrimination. No, being gay is not an obvious physical trait, but the whole “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is tired. Being gay isn’t something you should have to hide. As for not seeing gays being harassed, watch the news. No one should be discriminated against or harassed because of who they love. And the point I think David was trying to make when he mentioned that gays are also affected by all the major issues is that they want to work with the government – not against it – but the government needs to work with gay people.

@1nurse99 — Just because you don’t see “signs posted ’saying no gays allowed’ or gays been deprived of education, or gays hanging from trees or being harrassed by policeman on a daily basis” doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen every single day in this country. Hate crimes against gays continue to proliferate, especially in small and, yes, Southern towns were homophobia is a way of life. Your comment that being gay is “a lifestyle that is chosen” is incorrect … the fallacy that being gay is a choice continues to be used as an argument against equality for gays. I agree that there should be “plain old human equality for all” and that is exactly what we are fighting for. No one is asking for special rights, we just want equal treatment just like everyone else.
