*Vigorously Nods Head In Agreement*

Yet again, Gayprof nails it. Homosexuals should be allowed to marry because it is their right. That does not mean, however, that homosexuals (or heterosexuals for that matter) who do not want marriage, who opt for "untraditional" relationships, or just want to slut it up with whoever comes along should be looked down upon or treated as lesser. Everyone has the right to be who they want to be and to be with who they want to be in whatever permutation that takes (with the full consent and safety of all involved, of course).

Homosexuals who really are bland and boring and bourgeois (and, hey, that describes me quite well!) should be allowed to be who they are just as much as a Radical Faerie in a five-way relationship. But those who conform in the vain hope that this will make heterosexuals like us and deign to allow us our rights are, frankly, pathetic. That's just selling out and makes my blood boil. It doesn't matter how "mainstream" we are or how closely we mimic them: at the end of the day, those that hate us and don't want to allow us to exercise our rights will always hate us and not allow us to exercise our rights simply because we exist and love who we love.
