Actually, it looks like there is a big push to deny homosexuals equal rights. First, Bill Frist is trying to push an amendment to the constitution recognizing marriage as a union between a man and woman exclusively. George Bush pandering to the right both defined homosexuals as "sinners" and claims that a law should be passed to the same effect as what Frist is proposing....and to top it all off the vatican is making a big push to prevent any law being passed that recognizes homosexual marriage as valid...
The irony I find with Frist and Bush is they mouth off about "freedom", small government, government not intruding in the life of others...and there they are supporting just the opposite...maybe the constitution should be amended to declare that corrupt nitwits should not be allowed to hold office.....
