Not all of us are as freaked out by sex as you clearly are, Eddie. You are absolutely free to not act on your homosexual fantasies.

Even if we did have "almost all the rights..." as they claim, it would not be equal. But thanks for pointing out how completely unequal it is now.

"Homosexuals have, through the actions of most state legislatures, almost all the rights of spouses now."
