IL answers it pretty well above. Its a special right because they already can get married and that they are not discriminated against.

As to the sex ed component, whats wrong with a comprehensive sex ed program that acknowledges and allows an honest discussion of homosexuality. I suspect many kids would appreciate the facts and not the myths that are perpetrated. But then again, I think many of the parents are probably more fearful than the kids and many would still prefer to limit sex ed to abstinence only.

You argue that people are imposing their beliefs on others, yet you seemingly have no quams with the school system to have "open dialogue" about a sexual preference practiced by a small % of genpop and that goes against many parents morals and values. Most people would call that hypocritical, but I assume that you and other liberals would call it something else.

Thats a really bad argument (especially for someone as well informed as you), will, and it demonstrates the grasping of straws when it comes to this issue. Tell us then, exactly which religion is doing the persecutin'?
