Gay Rights are Not Civil Rights

[Strike For The South]

A) Define "gay rights".

Using that term already implies discrimination.

B) As for discrimination:

Universal Declaration of Human Rights:



Now, I'll assume you're talking about gays being allowed to marry and I assume we all agree that gays are human beings.

Since non-discrimination is the rule, then not allowing gays to marry is an exception of that rule.

The question should thus not be "Why would gays be allowed to marry", but should be: "Why would gays not be allowed to marry?"

Answer that question first and then we can continue to discuss.

That document holds no weight in my country.

I have said many times before that marriage should be off the books entirely. This thread is about the constitution and its place in todays government. I choose the LGBT movement because it gets the most rise out of people and its when they become the most self richoues (To be fair I could've chosen abortion to) I figured many of you would know my postions by now but I was mistaken.

@countarch Rights are only yours if you can defend them which is why this argument is so important.
