LOL....At lest the government is admitting that there are threatning elements in the extreme right. ......
Fine and Dandy,...As long as one's viewpoint do not infringe on the rights of the others who do not share such viewpoint, Even if they are diametrically opposed and polar opposites. IE: You can have guns via the second amandment as long a a gay man can marry in the eyes of the state.
The last time I saw a comparison of right wing terro to left wing terror in this country, the lefties in this country were overwhelmingly the winners by several factors over. The Second Amendment is a constitutionally guaranteed right. Gay marriage may be important to a lot of people, gay unions may even be the correct thing to do, but it is not a right in this country as of yet. To state that one existing right is dependent on creating another right is ridiculous and dangerous. "Rights" are supposed to be by definition something that is never subject to whims such as your statement above. If gay men ever get the right to a "union" they will appreciate the distinction.
