Rights to me are those things which are irrevocably basic to humanity (someone once called them self-evident).

When I say gay rights, I mean that people who are homosexual are allowed to express themselves freely, without doing harm to others.

I believe that it is unjust for committed homosexuals to be punished (i.e. not get certain tax brakes for being married, or be excluded from otherwise “equal” opportunities). For this reason I find myself in favor of Civil Unions.
However, my beliefs and committment to the Christian tradition and the scriptures hold me to the belief that marriage is proper to the Man/Woman relationship.
I do not support people to particiapte in the homosexual lifestyle, but there are some injustices that take place against homosexuals. Although I beleive that God’s intentions for life is not homosexuality, injustice in injustice.

So when it comes to Gay rights, what would you outline as rights you would support and rights you wouldn’t?

Having Christian Friends who happen to be Gay, and Non-Christian Friends who happen to be Gay, these are tougher questions than I think most assume them to be.

Thoughts?
