No. I don't have equality.
1) Straight individuals and straight couples can adopt in all 50 states.
Gay individuals and gay couples cannot adopt in all 50 states.
That is not equality.

2) Straight individuals are allowed to join the military.
Gay individuals are expressly forbidden from joining the military.
That is not equality.

3) Straight couples can get married.
Gay couples are forbidden from marrying.
Straight couples can choose to marry and get over 1,000 benefits associated with marriage.
Gay couples cannot choose to marry. In fact, some state laws have a proposed interpretation that the 1,000 benefits associated with marriage CANNOT be given to gay couples under ANY name. Not just marriage, but the benefits themselves forbidden.
This is not equality.


I realize it makes you feel better to try and paint me as a whiner.
But quite frankly, I don't think your arguments are convincing anybody...
Homos shouldn't be able to adopt. It confuses and embarrasses the child causing undue stress and harm among their peers. It is illegal for homos to get married. You were in the military. If I was a homo, I wouldn't be able to adopt either. I can't marry someone of my sex either. You have every right I have.
