but what about the right to participate...

See, again we're using the wrong word, here. We have no right to expect that we can enjoy the benefits of being married. As it stands, marriage is a privilege extended to one type of relationship, but not others. If the whole term "gay rights" is merely an attempt to change who qualifies for that privilege, then so be it. But, to refer to it in ANY way as a "right" is not only dishonest but wholly inaccurate. As it stands, people who are practice homosexuality and people who practice heterosexuality have the same rights, simply different privileges.
