Because flashy pink and neon whatever is pretty ^^ Seriously though.. I do not understand why there is a need to have separate rights at all. I understand not having a religious wedding in a church that doesn't accept homosexuality, but that is not what people want anyway. The subject of marriage has... Not yet come up in my relationship... but when it does, i am hopeful that I will be able to answer in a way that does not involve saying "If the law will allow it" or "If we move to a place where it is legal." On the subject of it being a choice... I do not think it is... Not for people who are truly homosexual. There are heterosexual people who adopt a homosexual lifestyle for a time, there are homosexuals who deny their true nature and adopt a heterosexual lifestyle, and there are bisexuals who choose one way or another. Those are the ways that sexuality can be a choice. However... If you are completely honest with yourself, unless you are bisexual... there is no choice... You are either gay, or not. So if it is not a choice for us, any more than it is for straight people... Why do we have to have separate rights?
