    I concur with MrFun, being gay in not the only (or even most important) aspect of my selfworth...but it is the part of me that's being treated as a "second-class" citizen in the U.S. and because of this, I will not hide my sexual orientation as a shameful disposition, but rather one that I'm proud of.

    Of course, since moving to San Francisco from North Carolina, my "gay pride" has become a bigger part of my life. After all, I'm fighting for my right to marry the man I love (but that's a different topic in itself).

      Don't worry -- I have no interest in a commie like you.

          You're NOT second class citizens, and heck, you're not even being discriminated against. You're not allowed to marry and create homosexual couples, just like everyone else isn't.

            That is just semantic BS.
            Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                Nah. I support homosexual unions, but to say that you're second-class citizen, isn't correct.

                  They aren't allowed to marry the people they love (and all the benfits and legal relations that come with this). In some states (like mine) they aren't allowed to adopt children. They are the number one target of hate crimes in the U.S. In many places they can be denied jobs for their sexuality.

                    What else would you call a group of people belonging to a country that doesn't have the same rights as everyone else? Looks like a good definition of a second class citizen to me...

                      That DOES make them second-class citizens. I wasn't aware of this.

                        Or fired from them once it is know that they are gay.
                        Thank goodness California has a law in place against this...but even in California - it's just not enough. I want, nay, I demand equal rights covering all aspects of living in America.

                          This is wrong, too. There is nothing wrong with gay people in the military.

                            I agree Azazel (especially being a 20 year Army Retiree myself), but I really doubt that the military will change their policies until they are forced into it.

                              But hey, hatred is cool if it's done in the name of "family values" right??
