Thus I am for equal rights for all races and for the Male and Female gender.
But special rights for a selective lifestyle is beyond equal rights. It is a manipulation of what so many minorities have fought for so long and so hard to achieve and it is a slap in the face of those who have been persecuted for generations on end.

What you really mean is that you are for equal rights for all races and for males and females that choose to be straight. The thing is, whether you believe that it is a choice or not to be gay, that doesn't take away from the truth that all AMERICANS should have equal rights and opportunities whether they are straight or not. If it is a choice, they should have the right to practice that choice without discrimination. As a Christian, Obama probably does not believe that gays are born that way, but as a true patriot and someone that knows the constitution better than 90% of Washington most likely he believes that all AMERICANS, straight or homosexual, should have equal opportunity without being discriminated against.
The debate should never be about rights for black people, rights for women, rights for gays... it should just be rights for Americans. They have citizenship. They should have equal opportunity as the rest of us.
