Steve’s wondering why religious people should get special exemption from gay rights legislation. Some of us would ask the opposite question. Why should gays get special rights in the first place ?
Sure, these people claim gayness is equivalent to, say, race, but I have six words for them: ‘not one drop of gay blood’. Doesn’t really work, does it ? No one’s talking about checking out someone’s family tree, it’s all about the life they lead. Hey, maybe there’s a genetic element to it, but maybe there’s a genetic element to being obese, or a drunk, or a smoker. No one’s demanding that being a fat chain-smoking hooch jockey is off-limits to debate, nope, it’s only the folks who like to hang out with all the boys who are a protected species.
