homosexuals are not protected by the bill of rights!?! they cannot vote? I was unaware of this. [sarcasm]
I am not sure how things are in Germany, but i think they have these right in the USA.
Oh yeah, they are treated just like everybody else in the USA aren't they.....

Only if they keep there mouths shut and don't "act" gay, than possibly.
It's sad isn't it. Oh, and Artemis, you asked how things were in Germany? Well, they're pretty much accepted there, and in my country they can even marry, yes marry, just like everyone else.

I was beaten up for being gay, and I've not even had the opportunity to be straight yet. I was carrying my books like a girl. I never noticed up to that time that boys carried their books differently then did girls. And I was indeed carrying my books like a girl.
That was two years ago. I now carry my books at my side instead of across my body. It's not an efficient method of carrying if one has more then a few books. But it's only gravity the I have to contend with now.
Are you serious? This stuff still plagues your schools? I wish I'd been there, I'd have kicked their asses so hard they wouldn't be able to sit for a month. Even if it would've meant I couldn't walk straight anymore either. I've witnessed a similar incident once over here (yes, we're not free from bigotry either) suffice to say, I got suspended for a day from school, but the bullíes got kicked off it permanently.
I hope this enormous stupidity can be gone from your and anyone's country soon.

Not false at all if you read what I said instead of read-into what I said.
DOMA defines marriage and spouses as a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word spouse refers to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.
Homosexuals and Heterosexuals BOTH can marry as per the definition of marriage, and spouses. What I posted was true, what you assumed I posted was false, though I never can stop you, kuresu, from trying to put words into my mouth. This is just another example of you trying and failing.
The seperate but equal bullshit? Come on man, get over that, and just admit you don't want gays to be happy in marriage like the heterosexuals because they make you feel icky.
this is about gay people not having basic rights, except they DO HAVE the same basic rights.
They most certainly DON'T. They can't marry the person they love, like heterosexuals can.
Per law they are equal. We have the same rights.
No we don't. In my country they do, in yours, they certainly haven't. I always keep wondering how you Americans keep calling your country the "nation with the most freedom on Earth" when it's clear that there are countries where the citizens have much more personal freedoms than in the USA (yes I know, not all americans claim this, just making an example).
I have no Idea where Zerus is, but we are much more diverse and accepting here in Northern Virginia, I work with a few gay men, and they are not hiding out like you think they should be, nor do they refrain from telling us thing that you say they will not.
Ask them what they think of the fact you don't want gay couples to marry.

Its not that they're separate but equal, its that they're not separate. Its not about feeling icky, asshole.
Then tell me why two people that love each other are not allowed to marry. They can in my country, is my country wrong? Oh and thanks for calling me asshole, I love you too.

Because, in the eyes of the law, marriage is a social contract that has nothing to do with love.
It doesn't matter who loves who, only one man and one woman can enter the contract of marriage, by law.
So, if the law determined that only people who have blue eyes can marry, you'd be fine with that too?
No. Your country has different laws. Right and wrong are subjective determinations of the people.
Ok, so you WOULD agree with the law if it said only people with blue eyes can marry.
Whether or not you're an asshole has nothing to do with whether or not I love you.
Yeah, I should've put a smily there to make clear I didn't take it seriuously, call me whatever you want, I don't care.
