    Default Re: Gay Rights are Not Civil Rights

    I think CA has the better argument.

    If the Constitution is in place to guarantee the rights of citizens, and yet doesn't protect the basic human rights of everybody then it is an inadequate constitution. While I recognise that any document that does guarantee everyone all their rights is going to be unworkably vague, defending the constitution because, in this case, the issue is 'trivial' isn't right. Constitutions can be changed, or reworded, and if the current one isn't fufilling its purpose then it must be changed, or overidden.

    Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. - Caesar
    We have not to fear anything, except fear itself.



    Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram
    perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna:
    quale per incertam lunam sub luce maligna
    est iter in silvis, ubi caelum condidit umbra
    Iuppiter, et rebus nox abstulit atra colorem.
    - Vergil
