...since Arrow may be out running, let me take a stab at what his personal beliefs are in this matter. First off I have to say the guy likes to take both sides of issues...either from a desire to show off, or because he can believe one as easily as the other....but as far as Gay rights go, he seems to think that if you open up marriage to all citizens, you might someday down the road okay polygamy, or maybe beastiality. So, it isn't so much that he personally hates anyone, it's just that he doesn't want to see changes which might lead someday to our making current illegal practices, legal.

I think this is the sidestep of the dishonest. People can say this about anything at any time: don't change, improve, grow, because you never know what bad things might happen. I think also that he doesn't approve of Gay people and certainly not their getting the same rights as everyone else...it's just a little hard to ay that, over here....so he tries a more neutral position, one which expresses worry for dire consequences at some future date...but that's a ridiculous argument.

We are calling for expanded equal rights until all Americans are equal...we met his type when we wanted equal rights for Blacks and women....it's all part of the same conservative mind-set, addled by fear, fear of this and fear of that.
