And those people are homophobesYeah , I ' ve fired every gay person that currently works for me , four of which have same sex partners in a civil marriage . yawnthe same rightsMarriage isn ' t a right , nor is it an entitlement . If same sex couples have the same rights as straight married couples , longterm roommates should essentially have the same rights as they produce the same thing for the state , which is the only reason the state used to grant any benefits to married persons . I should , and I guess I now do , have the right to marry my best friend for the benefits that would come with a job in the military , because how dare you judge my love for him , bigot . Keep painting those broad brushstrokes of hate . You ' re the same kind of bigot that wants to literally lock up half the people in the U . S . because they don ' t have the same political viewpoints as you do . Absolutely cannot stand people like you the same person that preaches love , tolerance , and kindness , and absolutely feigns it because you ' re one of the most hateful people anyone that disagrees with you would ever interact with . People like you disgust me .
