then they should be honest and call themselves authoritarians instead of hiding behind the "personal liberty" cliche.

not abridge mine in any way. LGBT people have been subsidizing my children's insurance by being in the same risk pool as I, paying for my children's education, not getting the same accesses as anybody else does while paying for it on so many levels, even undocumented aliens have rights regarding the medical decisions fpr spouses or the right to have or not have children.

Even if someone thinks LGBT shouldn't get all the rights, don't LGBT deserve the same basic respect and consideration we owe everybody else?

Sending someone "away".
"electroshock"?
Grandma sending hate-mail.

Whats wrong with our society?

I'd say that all of the statements are also speaking about being bullied because of who they are.

So now you can see how giving these obviously subversive America-haters "special rights" would ruin the country . . . also I have to go now. I seem to have something in my eyes. I think it's the pollen, or the idea of someone getting death threats or hate mail, or the easel standing in for someone who isn't here any more.

Maybe it's easy to hate some kind of abstract notion, some vague faceless "them." But how can you keep hating these people who are standing in front of you asking for just simple human decency and civil rights? I can't see how ensuring their rights does anything but uplift us all and make this a better country. Damn pollen . . .
