I can agree with this. Though to say that allowing someone a set of rights is necessarily "celebrating" is a bit of a stretch. Though I'm sure some will be celebrating. And then, to have the pedophila thing lumped in with that is a horrendous leap. That is not a "next step" along the so-called slippery slope. That will never, ever happen without an all out war - at which I would be on the front lines. And then you started veering into an anti-socialism argument - which I agree with, but I wouldn't necessarily cause redistribution of wealth to be anti-Biblical.
