Well, to rely upon your argument - in essence, they've never had these rights therefore they are not entitled to them - you would have to, by necessity, be
dismissive. And the argument itself is
evasive of any real discussion about it. That's how I come to that conclusion. And it is common among those who oppose gay marriage, but are averse to being viewed as bigoted.
To address the question in the title of this thread, I contend that more prevalent than religious bias against homosexuality is the simple "ick" bias. And the ick-sters are loathe to be associated with the haters and the religious objectors. So they come up with these vague arguments regarding priveleges and the status quo that seem dismissive and evasive. Because they are.
Tell us why you agree with denying people priveleges? On what basis? Did you feel this way before gay marriage became an issue?
