Sorry Gina No can do. If a person is gay that is there privlage not a right.
A gay person is not a different human than the rest of us. I do not beleive in
gay rights any more than I do in white rights. If I was GAY how could I expect
anything different than anyone else if i cannot meet the criteria? What gives a
gay the right to be distingushed from me ? Nothing! they are not a different
breed of people? they are not from another country. So they deserve no
different rights than anyone else. Next It will be the Brunettes or men with
beards or blondes that will deserve rights..
