I know I won't be. I feel they already have the same rights as everyone else and aren't deserving of extra rights I do not enjoy...........

Why? In light of the Iranian Presidents speech, they should be kissing the ground that they walk on and be thankful.

No- The Iranian president nor his opinions on homosexuality are going to sway my opinion one way or the other.
Just because someone wants to sleep with someone/ something other than a member of the opposite sex doesn't make them eligible for rights separate than anyone elses.

I don't think his speech will help, but if more conservatives keep coming out of the closet, and as we work to end the last few areas of discrimination, I imagine discriminating against gays will decline.

Just because I am generally conservative, don't assume that you know anything about my views on homosexuality.
One of my very best friends in the world is a homosexual. We have been best friends since elementary school. After a series of heterosexual relationships gone awry, he finally found his soul mate in another man. They even got married (yes, it's legal in their state), and they have been married as long as my husband and I have.
In the 15 years I have known them as a couple, I can honestly say that their love is just as deep, true and valid as my husband's and mine. I am grateful they found each other and I am happy for them. It's not my place to judge other people.

While most conservatives don't approve of the chosen lifestyle of the homosexuals, we would certainly not like to see them killed by the government for their behavior as is what happens in Iran.
Get the distinction?
(We also just so happen to think it isn't a "right" to change the definition of marriage because a minority of people want it changed due to their sexual desires.)

Hate to break it to you but during the last election all the blue states voted to turn down gay rights too.

Absolutely not. The words of maniac who keeps women in the stone age and makes crazy and diabolical threats is not really going to change the way I feel about anything. I especially won't stop gaybashing anytime soon.

No, because the opponnent (Hillary Clinton) has already come out against gay marriage.

why would anyone do that? Thats outright stupid.
By the way gay men and women have the same rights as anyone else.
