No person in America should be a second class citizen!

My friends should have the same damn rights under the constitution that the next person has. That is just too easy. What in the hell is the problem with that? It is simple. Sexual orientation should never be a political issue.

It's 'orientation', not 'preference', as preference implies a choice being made. Otherwise, you're right on :)

2. WHen you're right, you're right! Bigotry of any stripe has to be removed from
all of our institutions. We can't force individuals to give up their bigotry and stupidity, but we can make it illegal for them to act on it...

4. Citizenship is just like a plane ticket
What class you are in depends on what you can afford. I made 28 grand last year and have three teenagers, so I'm at least second class. Maybe 2 and a half.

6. That is not what it says.
But unfortunately that's how it appears to work. Slave labor is another issue that we should waste no time fixing.
