I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't see how you can separate human rights and the rights of all people, no matter what their sexual orientation is.
Like me, the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.
Gay rights is not something most of us think about - because most of us happen to have been born straight.
If you believe in equality, if you believe in standing up for the rights of all, especially for people most affected by bigotry and discrimination, then you have no choice but to be present and accounted for when it comes to standing up for gays and lesbians in our society.
Americans take justifiable pride in the freedoms given to them by nature or God and enshrined in the Constitution's Bill of Rights.
I see the policy of opposing same-sex marriages or unions, whatever you call it, as bigotry or discrimination.
If we stand idly by while states legalize bigotry, we are responsible for allowing it to happen.
I support non-discrimination for homosexuals, but I think, or at least I have the right to think - without saying whether I think it or not - I have the right to think, along with the catechism of the Catholic Church, that homosexuality is morally wrong.
I don't think I've ever used the word 'gay rights,' because I don't really believe in rights based on your behavior.
I support same-sex marriage.
