467. Very revealing statements you make, 'muddleoftheroad'
You keep saying things like "He might actually disagree with you. Perish the thought."

You just don't get it, do you? How would you like it if we were talking about a legislator who felt that black people shouldn't have the right to partner health benefits and you were up in arms and we came back and said "He might just disagree with you. Perish the thought."

You think it's just some matter of "opinion" whether gay people should have equal rights. That's where you show how dead-wrong you are. Gay people's rights are just as inalienable as yours. Until you understand that, you will have no idea at the outrage gays feel against Dreier, or anyone else who tries to deny them their basic rights under law.

You keep acting like it's just some minor issue we're talking about here, like equal rights for gay people are optional or something. You are SOOO out to lunch on that one.

If a legislator was saying that your wife doesn't have the right to health benefits because, after all, you're both black, and maybe that's just the legislator's "opinion"... you'd be pretty damn pissed off.

You keep trying to trivialize this whole thing like Dreier somehow has the right to deny gay people basic rights under law. Like he's entitled to his opinions and who are we to disagree with him.

What planet are you on? The guy is a CONGRESSMAN and he is passing LAWS - that's why we have the right to disagree with him.

You are so lost. Let's take away your wife's health benefits because it's some legislator's "opinion" and who are we to disagree with him and THEN see how you'd feel.
