What specific rights are you referring to? Are there any laws preventing same sex couples from voting? Any laws preventing same sex couples from leaving inheritances to one another? Any laws preventing same sex couples from granting power of attorney to each other? Same sex couples have the same rights as heterosexual couples have the same rights as any individual whatsoever. Arguing that you are owed something by others is as retarded as me arguing that because the government subsidizes the pharmaceutical industry $20+ billion a year, I myself am owed a yearly $20+ billion subsidy, "in the name of equality". Sorry, no.
If they pass the amendment of marriage being identified as an union ONLY between a man and a woman, it would prevent gay people from getting married, and any marriages performed before that amendment before it is passed will become void. You still won't get it though.
Who said anything about being owed something? Equality is a human right. Sure, let all the gays be round up by the people who hate them and be beaten, because preventing them from manifesting their hatred toward gays would be intolerence?
You fail again.

If you want a color of your skin analogy you are arguing along the lines that if it's ok for whites to surpress blacks, then it should be ok for blacks to surpress brown immigrants, in the name of "equality". Again, sorry, no.
WTF! Now your on immigration. You don't know what you are talking about. Who said anything about surpressing anyone. You can't read worth a damn and have clearly not come up with a sane arguement on what anyone has said.
By the way, an illegal immigrant does not have any constituitonal rights, thats why they're supposed to get a little something called US citizenship.

I pretty much wrote off his theories after the thread where he tried to tell everyone that the ideals of the Framers and the Enlightment Thinkers who inspired the Framers were irrelevant in determining the spirit of the Constitution. I mean, it's not as if Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, et al would possibly have a clue as to what they were trying to establish by writing the document. Surely, Monx knows better than them

My fault for keep arguing with someone who doesn't know wtf he is talking about. *hits head on desk*
I shall let someone else continue the carnage.
