"But of course , the real issue is whether or not changing marriage is a civil right to begin with , because these ballot initiatives are generally about whether marriage should be protected from being redefined ."
"No , the issue is about civil rights . You just do n't want to publicly oppose civil rights , so you jump through hoops to try to call the issue something else . The government is giving out perks and bennies , and has arbitrarily decided to exclude one group from qualifiying , even though they meet all meaningful qualificaitons . It 's that simple ; even you see it . Look at what you said above . Not `` getting married `` is a civil right . '' changing marriage `` . Whenever you dance so prettily it 's clear that you know where the landmines are , and are desperately trying to avoid them ."
