"Conservatives and their hypocrisy always amaze me. They want less government regulation, but they want the government to regulate people's sex lives and morals. Want less taxes, but full services. Pro life, but pro death penalty. Want to fish and hunt, but don't want to protect the land and rivers to do those things. "

Are these comparisons supposed to be serious? For example, are you really suggesting that killing an innocent baby (murder) is equal to killing a convicted murderer (justice)?? And I know many conservatives who actively work to protect the land and rivers and fish. You've lost credibility right off the bat by using such a broad paint brush and illogical comparisons.

What specific 'equal protections' are we talking about here?

What about the American people's right to protect the institution of marriage? Marriage plays an important part in our country's social structure and it is being attacked in enough directions already (as evident in the divorce rate). Just look at how the media\liberals continues to dilute and mock marriage in the rash of new "reality" shows, TV, and movies. If American's want to save marriage as a special and meaningful family bond for their children and grand children, we need to take a stand -not just againt gay "marriage", but against the continued assault on marriage and the traditional family in general.

If it's legal rights they want, let them find another way...
