They should be entitled to all the legal rights that heteros enjoy.
Hope that helps!

Culture isn't something that just happens instantaneously, culture is something that develops itself over a period of time. I am sure that a lot of the traits, actions, and routines of people leading an 'alternative lifestyle' will be characterized as a culture of its own by future generations.

I suppose, but I like to think that sexuality is an unimportant thing, or should be, culturally. So, I don't like to identify with "gay culture." I'm a Canadian. That is my nationality, and my culture. My being bisexual has nothing to do with any group of people or cultural distinction. It only has an effect in my romantic life. Why not cultures for people who like blondes? It's not a big deal.

Isn't that already established? I mean the lesbian and gay community already have many of their own traditions (although they do vary locally from one community to the next) and as far as culture, isn't that what queer as folk was (is?) and the L word? Aren't they an "expose" of gay culture for the "straight" world?
Not to mention the vast amount of plays writtne about gay culture as well.

why wouldn't they be? they are human beings and have rights just like everyone else...regardless if they are ENTITLED or not, they are developing their own tradition and their own culture and moving beyond and surpassing stereotypes.

I didn't realise gay people have differing traditions and cultures to that of any other person.
I know many gay people who share the same traditions as straight people.

It depends on your veiw point
Legally, yes
We started this country on the belief that all men are equal no matter what kind of lifestyle the live
From a christain stand point, I would say no, because they go against gods word, and do not deserve to have that right
Personally i have no problems with gays.
I respect them, as long as they respect me

Of course but not when it conflicts with the culture of the majority. For example, It is considered proper to skin an animal alive in many Asian countries because the adrenaline in the meet is considered to make it tastier. In America, this would be considered cruel and inhumane. Which culture is right?

Of course, and they deserve it. Why discriminate against someone just because they're different? That's what started the Civil War, do we really need a repeat?
