Southern Baptists: Gay rights not same as civil rights

[Swede Atlanta]

19. Equal Rights are not special rights.....

"Homosexuals are seeking special rights" is a line the reich wing talking heads have repeated to themselves and across every possible public medium for decades until they believe it themselves.

These are the same people that coined the term "government takeover" of health care when the government is in fact maintaining the basic status quo - majority of Americans will receive health insurance from private insurers and consume that insurance at private hospitals, doctors, clinics, etc.

As a gay man all I want is to be treated equally meaning I have the same rights and protections (e.g. not to be subject to termination by my employer SOLELY based on my innate, immutable homosexual self.

Enough with the "special rights" line of distortion. But this is what these people are best at - creating tag lines that, if carefully analyzed, hold no water.
