Gil Smart: "Stuck on Gay"

Oh look! Yet another column about gay marriage! Yippee!

Now Gil thinks the evil conservatives are out to designate gays as second-class citizens unworthy of the right to marry.

I suppose he feels the very same way about the other people the State does not recognize as marriage. Incest, bigamy and polygamy -- second class citizens, right?

Perhaps Gil could direct me to the individuals we are talking about? Certainly, there is a scientific test or physical attribute that we could clearly see that would reveal those who are "second class citizens". Oh wait, there's NOT.

Is there a "right to marry"? If so, I could go out into the village and claim my new wife under Medieval rules.

Is there really a right to equal benefits? And if they are "benefits", who are they "benefitting" if everyone can get them?

Is there a "right to social security"? No, you have to wait until you meet the qualification. Isn't that "age discrimination"? No, not in the morally wrong sense, anyway. It's a limitation that --gasp -- you must QUALIFY for.

Just the same -- marriage is something you have to qualify for. You must be a man and a woman. That's it. Very simple you would think except for those severally crippled with a liberal brain I suppose.

The loony left wants you to think that same sex couples are treated so "unfairly". Yet, if you ask them for instances of inequality --they come up empty handed. Or else, they come up with a situation which they "perceive" as unfair, but you can easily show them that their "fear" is irrational. Of course, they ignore the reality.

The man/woman attribute is a qualification some simply choose not to meet -- and then want to whimper and whine how unfair their own decision is. They want to blame the State for their own choice.

The libs don't like it when you question them. They can dish it out, but they can't take it.

Maybe that's why Gil is so "stuck on gay" this week.
