> Cass wants a U.S. Supreme Court that will outlaw abortion and > gay marriage. "Do you want to take your children to a National League > baseball game for instance and have homosexuals showing affection to one > another? I don't want my kids to see that," he said. For me, this was the most telling quote in the entire article. It completely undermines the argument that gays have the same right to "marriage" as anyone else and that pushing gay marriage is somehow giving gays an "extra" priviledge. How does outlawing gay marriage stop gays from "showing affection to one another" in public? Answer: it doesn't. But it is a clue as to what is the real agenda of this effort. Push 'em back in the closet and out of sight so we can pretend they don't exist. I remember making this argument with a local radio talk show host almost 20 years ago. The host couldn't understand why gays wanted the right to "broadcast their sexuality to the world". My argument was that everytime I walk down the street holding hands with my wife or kissing her in public, *I* am broadcasting my sexuality to the world. It just happens to be heterosexual and is "acceptable". That's all gays want, is the same right as anyone else to be able to do that and not be subjected to harrassment, violence or worse. Things haven't changed in 20 years. Also, notice that this guy isn't saying "let abortion and gay marriage be up to the individual states". No, he says he wants the SCOTUS to "outlaw" them. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
