Gays have all basic civil and legal rights
No they dont. They cant get married. How can you possibly deny this?
Quote: they are as free as anyone else to marry someone of the opposite sex,
Ohhhh, so you dont deny it, you just paper over the difference in the hopes that noones will notice. It almost worked too. Probably would have worked if it was one of the right wing tory bogan a55hole that infest this site. They arent that good with nuance and subtlety.
Quote:they actually suffer a lesser rate of violence than heterosexual men
Citation needed. Heres a few for you to chew on while you are digging up any sort of proof for your usual bollocks.

Quote:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lesbian, gay and bisexual people experience sexual violence at similar or higher rates than heterosexuals. The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Projects (NCAVP) estimates that nearly one in ten LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) has experienced sexual assault from those partners. Studies suggest that around half of transgender people and bisexual women will experience sexual violence at some point in their lifetimes.
As a community, LGBTQ people face higher rates of poverty, stigma, and marginalization, which put us at greater risk for sexual assault. We also face higher rates of hate-motivated violence, which can often take the form of sexual assault. Moreover, the ways in which society both hypersexualizes LGBTQ people and stigmatizes our relationships can lead to intimate partner violence that stems from internalized homophobia and shame.

Quote:two new studies conducted by researchers at Sam Houston State University looked at how domestic violence affects people who've had at least one serious same-sex relationship and found that they were more likely to encounter domestic violence than heterosexual people.
Now its your turn. hahahahahahhaahaha we both know you arent going to cite anything.
Quote:, they can ponce around in the streets and not cop a fine for 'lewd conduct', they can shop at the same stores .. exactly where do they miss out on civil and legal rights?
Again, LGBTQI people cant get married. I figure if I say this enough times, it might sink in.
This lack of a basic human right has a bunch of flow on effects, like not being able to see your life long partner when they are sick in hospital if its family only.
Quote:All this 'gay rights' argument is a demand for special privileges - not rights.
No, they just want to get married. Exactly the same rights as hetero people have. Thats why its called marriage equality. Equal. Same.
