Re: is there anyone else who is pro-life AND pro-gay rights, or is it just me?
No, you don't have to, because I personally agree with pretty much all of it. I just can't take the interracial marriage = gay marriage thing because I don't think there was ever any argument against it that WASN'T based in fear or racism. I'm merely staying that for gay marriage, there are arguments against. I don't think they are great arguments either, but the idea does fly in the face of what some believe marriage is about. Maybe not even the idea of pregnancy, but rather the idea of sex, which some would argue isn't really possible in some marriages. Some people believe it's unnatural. My point is that all the opposers are not necessarily bigoted, hateful morons. No doubt some of them are. The idea of marrying someone of the same gender is waaay more radical than marrying someone of a different race.
I guess a similar example would be Affrimative Action; it's possible to form an argument against it without being racist, isn't it?
