well once you don't beat them to death and tie them to a fence post in Wyoming, they will be asking to not be killed. Once not killed, they will ask not to be beaten. Once not beaten they will ask not to be harassed. Once not harassed, they will ask to be ignored and allowed to live. Once ignored and allowed to live, they will be asked to be treated as normal human beings. Once treated as normal human beings, they will ask to be able to associate in public. Once able to associate in public they will ask to be able to hold hands and kiss in public. Once able to hold hands and kiss in public, they will ask not to be arrested for having sex in their own home. Once not arrested for having sex in their own home, they will ask that people realize they can be committed couples. Once realized that they can be committed couples, they will ask for legal rights such as hospital visitation. Once able to have legal rights such as hospital visitation, they will ask for rights to be bundled in the form of civil unions. Once rights are bundled in the form of civil unions, they will ask that they be given the same name as the heterosexual form of civil unions. Once given the same name as the heterosexual form of civil unions, they will be married.
And the minions of hell will be loosed upon the earth, daughters ravaged, sons raped, and horses loosed to run wild and trample the crops of man, death and starvation the result of the sins of the world.
Got it. It really is a slippery slope.
