I don't want to be seperate.




I didn't say seperate. There is a huge distiction with seperate and different. I'm not saying you have to eat in different restaurants or live in different communities or even have seperate tax bennifits (I'm for civil unions). I'm saying that there is a differnce. Seperate is not ok, but different is.

This is about equality, not celebrating differences.




I'm all for eqauity, just read my frst post, that's the first thing i want to see. Men and women are different, but they should still be treated as equals. My wife and I are different, but she is my equal. You and I are different, but we are equals in my mind and should be treated as such. Also it tends not to be my side of the isle that drives arround with bumper stickers saying "celebrate diversity".

'Unique' is not acceptable, sorry.




I'm sorry, but that is one of the scarriest notions there is. When unique becomes unnaceptable socity will crumble. When we try to deny differences socity then tries to exterminate those that expose them. Unique is not only acceptable, but it is the very essence of the human experience. Take away those things that make us unique and you have nothing. I cherish the unique nature of my most important relationships and I would hope you and others will too, but when you try to take away the unique nature of someones relationship or try and devalue it they will get defensive, regardless of wether they understand why.
