Should gays have special rights?

Homosexuals want special rights not equal rights. Why not have rights because you are a human being not because you have a certain preference for same sex relationships. I have homosexual friends and they are my friend because of their personalities not for choosing to date or have relationships with someone of the same sex or opposite sex. It is not whether I agree with their choices or not unless of course they hit on me. I don't get special treatment because I chose to date someone of the opposite sex. I should not get special rights either. Sexual preferemces should not come into play, It should not be anyone's business. Unless, for example, an organization is seeking a person out for a position that would contradict what the organization stands for. Don't be afraid to respond with your comments whether politically correct or not.

What special rights are homosexuals fighting for that you're opposed to?

I don't know that homosexuals are asking for special rights. They're just asking to be granted the same rights as heterosexual people. And they should totally get them.

I agree that they should have every right that a heterosexual person has.

I don't really think anyone in the gay community is asking for 'special' rights. Equal rights, sure. But I haven't heard anyone asking for anything that heterosexual couples/people don't have. They just want to have the same things as everyone else, which isn't really above or beyond normality.

Can anyone here name even ONE "special right" being seriously demanded by the mainstream gay community?
