Gays already have individual rights.  Try again.

Or that we have a moral fabric, which several idiots seem to be under
the opinion of.

Ignorance?  Who's ignorant?

"Bigotry" is one of those over-used catch phrases that is inappropriate.

homosexual rights either.

And the average homosexual pedophiles has 150 victims compared to 20 for

make up 3% of the population.
