Hillary Clinton declares 'gay rights are human rights'

That's way over the line.

It is easily demonstrated that often very vocal opponents of gays turn out to be actually gay themselves.

The Radio Room forum is not the place for flaming, spewing, or otherwise mouthing off. We do not allow posts where people are called idiots, morons, etc. We respect your freedom of speech, we ask that you respect our rules.

I doubt that your statement was intended as a compliment.

Is gay then....a bad world...never mind just kidding.

Gay is not a bad word. Questioning someone's sexuality, however, is something that I don't think belongs on these forums. And, in case you have forgotten, I have been arguing for marriage rights for homosexual couples.

I agree!
There's no reason they should be denied the right to be as miserable as Non-Gay married people!

Gays are humans - so they should have human rights.

The issue is - is marriage a "human right" that needs to be controlled by the government?

A person has the right to be with whomever they like - but people need to respect that society doesn't want to see or have their private business thrown in their face. Which is what occurs in todays world.

Marriage is a religious union that the government decided to get involved in. The only group that should have a say in what a marriage is - is the church.

People who are not religious - can have a civil contract that does the same thing without the "union under God" part.

Either way, government shouldnt be involved in it regardless.

You could argue that marriage has become a universal thing.
This is starting to look a lot like the case where colt sued another company over the use of the "M4" name, but the court ruled that M4 had become a universal name for an AR15 so they couldnt do anything about it

But the issue is human rights, it isn't about gay marriage at all.
That angle about gay marriage is just a red herring which has bugger all to do with the speech or the conference.

You got that backwards, marriage is a business contract which the church decided to get involved in.

So, if a church was willing to marry gays, that would be a perfectly valid marriage?

If the church would be willing to marry gays, 3/4 of the gay-haters would become gay supporters and the laws would have been passed the first week making the marriage valid in no time.
