So we should then apply that to race as well? Let's see how that goes.

I am conflicted on the marriage, inheritance, probate, hospital visits, etc...mostly because these are government defined "privledges" which AFAIC are nothing the government should be involved with. Here I favor removing governement administration of these 'privledges' all to together. Not further exacerbating the problem by broadening, redefining, or even broadening their definition.

The govt isn't about to start taking those privledges away, therefore they need to be equally applied.

You know damn well what rights and privledges have been denied to gay people. Don't play dumb. It isn't enough that they won't allow marriage to gays, bigotted right wingers have been sucessfull at barring civil unions that give similar rights under a different name. It is hatefull and unecessary.
It may be hard for you to understand but it is the right wing that is trying to impose morals. Calling them deviant is passing a moral judgement and banning gay marriage and civil union is forcing YOUR morals on society. Gay activists are simply saying it is not the govt's place to define morality and therefore people need to be treated equally.
My use of 'traitor' is not meant as a nationalistic level, he is a traitor to other gay people, not the govt. Sorry for the confusion.
