Well, I'm not lying, so I don't see the relevance. Homosexuals have the same rights I do. They may marry one person of the opposite sex, just as I may.

And you continue to miss the fucking point, asshole. All they want is to be able to marry who they love. Heterosexual people can marry people they love; why shouldn't homosexuals have the same right?
Actually guys, KarateCowboy has no chance of marrying for love either, so they do sort of have the same rights as this pathetic piece of shit.
"Well, I'm not lying, so I don't see the relevance. The Ukrainians had the same rights that I do. They may support the glorious regime, just as may I"
And that´s why the church and state anull marriages?. Listen man, NO HOMOSEXUAL MAN, who has come out the closet, I mean, and no lesbian woman wants to marry a person of the other sex. They can do to hide their condition for fear(but what´s the point if they admit being?) and most important, people of the opposite sex don´t want either. Nobody wants to share the life with somebody who, in the best case, is your friend, not your lover. Besides, if taken to the extreme, there are no kids and no sex. Homosexual people can do whatever they think more convenient to suit their condition and morals, but not pretend to be straights.
Not this old chestnut again. They aren't really asking for the "right to marry" someone of the same sex. They are asking for the right to determine the course of their own life without interference from asshats like you who want to force them to accept your personal values. They don't want the right to murder, or rape, or molest children, which is what morons like you usually say at this point, they simply want to right to be free from moral facism.
Well the first comment took care of the one smackdown of this, so I'll do the less common but equally valid one.
Saying that homosexuals have the same rights as you because they can marry one person of the opposite sex, the same as you, reminds me of Henry Ford saying that anyone could buy a Model T Ford in any color they wanted, so long as it was black.
Sandman: "Why does the fact that someone else does not share your personal religious value system enrage you so much?"
KarateCowboy , you are invited to the brand new "United States of Amerikka", in which everyone has the right to vote for the Communist of his or her choice!
wow. Your reverence for the institution of marriage is shocking. To think that it's a binding legal document, under God if you will, that has nothing whatever to do with the affections or wishes of the participants.
Guys... I hate to say it, but YOU are all the ones missing the point. Karate Cowboy is right. Homosexuals DO have the same rights that straight people do in that they can marry someone of the opposite sex. They may not want to, but that is irrelevant, because IT IS STILL THE SAME RIGHT.
What? Same == Equal. I don't understand how you can differentiate the two. Furthermore, it's fairly obvious that whoever took this quote took it a bit out of context and posted it up here so that people could flame KarateCowboy.
Voice of "Reason". Karate Cowboy said rights, plural, not right, singular. Gays do not have the same rights he does which includes the right to marry the one person they love most, or as
Suppose I now pass a law that says that everyone has the right to kill those who I would like to see die. we can kill the same people, but that is not equal rights. I have the right to kill those I would like to kill and you don't.
Ah yes, the fundie's final argument: "That quote is out of context!"
In that case, we'll have to campaign to give heterosexuals the right to marry their own sex. It's a right, after all, not a mandate. So, if we give them the right to marry their own sex, then they can't complain that we want special rights. We'll give everyone the same rights!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
