If the Religious Right were ever to 'begin' to accomplish the tasks of engraining the American culture with their extremist agenda, it wouldn't stop at fetal rights. Every measure to destroy any other religion, along with who knows what to homosexual couples would be invoked in whatever manner it could be afforded until they had the Christian Nation of their desires.
The Gay Community is right to be up in arms regarding their Civil Rights status. The sooner we INSURE their place among the majority of Americans the safer they will be. Now. And in the future.
If we are to insure the 'safety' of our people it has to include all our people and not JUST those the majority 'deem' worthy of the rights our USA Constitution guarantees. There are no by-standers to democracy or the civil liberties written in our laws.
