In any event, the homophobe you speak of is not denying anybody's
rights
Of course they are. These bills say, in essence, "gays will not be granted
the right to marry". I don't know how much more clearly someone's rights
can be denied.
but arguing they should not explicitly be affirmed, having had
experience with equal rights being escalated into more-than-equal
rights (to law school admissions, for example) in other special cases.
Baloney. You are confusing Affirmative Action with other laws that prohibit
discrimination. They are not the same.
These are very tough arguments, and neither the homophobe nor you are
shedding any light at all on the problem. You are equally
close-minded.
There are certain political agendas and attitudes towards which I need not
have an open mind. Racism, intolerance of religious freedom, and sexism all
come to mind. Likewise, any attitude which starts out "because a person is
gay..." is not one I need to listen any further to. A gay person should be
treated equally. No better, but no worse either.
