Gay rights is just one of the social issues I'm interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Gay rights is not something most of us think about - because most of us happen to have been born straight.
It seems to me the most important issue in the LGBT community is the right to be queer-the right to be free of the heterosexual assumption.
Gay rights are human rights.
There are still civil rights issues. There are still people who can't be visited by their spouse in the hospital because they're gay. These are humanitarian issues. At the end of the day, all you want is for people to be happy in the pursuit of life, love and liberty.
Just because I'm in favor of gay rights doesn't mean that I'm gay or doesn't mean I'm some kind of 'sissy' or something. That's the language that you hear in locker rooms.
It's only fair that stable gay relationships of long standing should have the same rights and responsibilities as married couples. I know the image of gay marriage is to some people horrific and ludicrous.
I don't see how you can separate human rights and the rights of all people, no matter what their sexual orientation is.
I think the gay community, just like anybody, should be represented in all forms and all types.
I don't think I've ever used the word 'gay rights,' because I don't really believe in rights based on your behavior.
Really, when it comes to gay rights, there's two wars going on. The first war is political. But the culture war is over.
