They just want the same rights as anyone else.
Is it more about hate to the GOPers than it is about equal rights?

In response to some of the other answers:
All humans should be able to marry whatever humans they want.
Get it? (Of course they don't, but I had to respond to the "people will marry animals" garbage; and respond to the "they can marry anyone of the opposite sex" -- but they CAN'T marry the one they love."
The reason they say that? So they LOOK like they support equal rights.
Mostly, it's a line they've picked up from hate radio, and mindlessly repeat.
Of COURSE it isn't about equal rights. It it were, they wouldn't start talking about marrying a duck or babbling about how we all have "the same right to marry someone of the opposite sex".

The "equal rights/special rights" sloganeering is just semantics.
I prefer to discuss the substance and ignore the labels.

The GOP is a group of men who are all in the closet. They are clueless on what to say to hind the fact from their wives. As you can see their agurement is foolish and is a step backwards in time.

It's very simple. Everyone has the right to marry someone of the opposite gender.
Gays want the right to marry someone of the same gender. That is a special right.
Whether you are in favor of them having it, or not in favor of them having it, call it what it is, a special right.

Gays already have the same rights as the rest of us. The special rights that they're looking for mostly is the right marry in the same sex.
Nobody has that right. I can't marry a man either. I'm sure not a homo, but if I wanted to marry another man for my own reasons, I wouldn't be permitted.
There is no law that discriminates against homos that I know of.

They have the same rights as everyone else. Protection under the Constitution. Marrying the same sex is no right, it is an illness.

I agree with you. They just want the same rights as everyone else. A large part of the conservative base is made up of social and Christian conservatives. By denying rights to gays they solidify their base. Hate has nothing to with it, it is all about votes.

If a black attacks a white person, is that labeled a hate crime? If a gay gets attacked that sure is. They don't want equal rights they want special rights. Just like affirmative action. Any time you protect a specific group of people over another you no longer have equal rights. Gays as Americans enjoy the same rights as anyone else. So what is all the fuss about? Shoving their agenda down my throat is not going to make me accept it ay better. I also don't care for gangs, white trash, or trash people of any kind.

Here's the problem
Let's say that gays get marriage rights. They want to get married in a church that refuses to perform the ceremony, on religious grounds. They sue for discrimination, even if said church's policy is in line with the basis of their faith.
That would completely destroy separation of church and state and effectively give government a say in church doctrine.
That's not a situation this country needs.
