If marriage is indeed a privilege, then why are heterosexuals all so privileged? And how does a heterosexual lose their 'privilege' to marriage? The difference between a right and a privilege is that a privilege is earned and may be rescinded for irresponsible behavior, whereas a right is inalienable. I happen to be in favor of respecting the rights of parents as to what their children are exposed to. In our school system, there are multiple opportunities for children to be pulled out of lessons that parents may object to - mostly biological education. For the record, I am against any sort of 'homosexual agenda' being taught in school, just like I'm against any sort of 'Christian agenda' in secular public schools. Rather than restrict the rights of homosexuals to marry for fear of what will be taught in schools, why not simply address the school issue directly? Also for the record, my children are much more likely to be approached by someone espousing a Christian agenda than a homosexual one - and I live in California. Should it be illegal to proselytize because of the possibility of offending parents who don't want their kids exposed to certain religions?
