You're not special (not YOU specifically, i'm speaking in the infinite "you") because your sex and/or love partner has opposite sex organs from you.

They deserve the same consideration and rights as you.

But, let's play devil's advocate here. Let's remove the rights you have (infinite you) as a married person, since 'the gays must just want attention'. If they don't need it, neither do you.

Your husband or wife falls ill, gets sent to the hospital. No, you can't see them. No, you have no right to. They wither, alone, for months. They cannot speak to ask for you, and are in horrible, excruciating pain. Their family does things you know they would never allow- but you have no say in the matter. By law, you could be removed from the hospital premises by force and charged with various things.

Sorry, they're dead now- but you had to read about it in the obituaries, the doctor won't tell you. You have no right to that information. I hope they print the time you can view the body publicly, if the family is allowing that, otherwise you'll never even see them buried. The person you love dearly, who completes you, who you share your soul with- is dead.

Oh, and the home you two built together- which was in your beloved's name- yeah, you don't live there anymore. It went to the kids. You're now trespassing in "your own home". So goes your car, which was under their name. All the money you put aside, in their name?

Ha. Not in this country, bucko, we don't respect the rights of two people in love.
