The Gay Rights Movement

There are different ways to look at the "gay issue", and for some reason some people don't seem to be able to understand or accept it, which is pretty stone-age in my view. How exactly is a gay man marrying another gay man threatening to my way of life?

It's totally ridiculous, but let's put that aside for a second. Let's also put religion aside for a second, because those kinds of religious views are also ridiculous. Let's look at this from a legal, economic standpoint. Married people get tax benefits. I don't agree with this at all, but it's a fact. Why should only straight people be allowed to marry and enjoy those benefits, and not gay people? If that isn't discrimination, I don't know what is.

As Clint Eastwood so eloquently puts it, let's just give everybody the chance to live the lives that they want. What's the harm in that?
