The right to marry and thus extend spousal benefits that heterosexual
married couples enjoy such as survivor's pension coverage, employer provided
health insurance coverage, etc, to their partners, for starters. Sheesh,
one could spend all day listing all the ways heterosexuals and homosexuals
are treated differently based solely on their sexuality. The law cannot
force someone to like someone else, but it can insure you act publicly as if
you did in those areas that affect society as a whole.

"Homophobe" may well be overused, but I'm not clear on how else one
would
describe anyone who is so afraid of someone else's sexual preference
that
they see a need to explicitly deny that person the same rights they
themselves enjoy.


What right is denied to homosexuals?
