If you were trying to respond to MY post, I talked about equal protection - not equal rights.
Define "equal protection" and explain how you homosexuals are not given equal protection.
I define it as:
A clause set out in the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution that dictates that state governments cannot pass or enforce any laws based solely on a specific classification of person by race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or age.
One of the main limitations in the Equal Protection Clause is that it limits only the powers of government bodies, and not the private parties on whom it confers equal protection. This limitation has existed since 1883 and has not been overturned.
The Civil Rights Act covers this, as far as employment is concerned anyway:
Title VII of the Act, codified as Subchapter VI of Chapter 21 of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e [2] et seq., prohibits discrimination by covered employers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin (see 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2[21]).
Title VII also prohibits discrimination against an individual because of his or her association with another individual of a particular race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. An employer cannot discriminate against a person because of his interracial association with another, such as by an interracial marriage.
Now what part of this mentions homosexuals?
Ona side note:
Numbnuts wants to play semantics, equal protection v equal rights. I wonder what he thinks they're protecting if not equal rights.
Some idiots never learn.
