We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal.
There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay
rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

I've always been confused with the whole notion of "gay rights." What does that mean? I don't want anyone to get killed off... not getting killed is a right. I don't want anyone to be put into slavery... not being a slave is a right. I think voting's a right, too. I don't think marriage is a right per se, though... And that goes for everyone.

So, I suppose I won't be posting anything like this, since I think the whole concept is too vaguely defined to be useful.

This is where we disagree, I guess. I *do* believe marriage is a right, and regardless of that fact, if we deny loving, consenting adults the chance to marry simply because they happen to be a same-sex pair, the issue of right versus privelige is completely moot. We're still in the wrong.

There is not just the marriage issue, but adoption and other things as well.
