Have I missed something somewhere? What's all this about gay rights? Don;t gay people have the same rights as everyone else nowadays? What is there to campaign about?

Gay adoption? Wasn't that what the RC church kicked up all the hoohah about because they were being asked to place children with gay couples and felt that it was against their religious convictions?

Marriage? Well it's not called marriage it's called a civil ceremony but it is as valid for a gay couple as a marriage is for a heterosexual couple.

Blood donation? Are gay people turned away from blood donation centres? Why would that be? Surely 'gay blood' is identical to 'straight blood'.

I really would appreciate some clarification on those points.

Unless of course your group is protesting against gay adoption and against civil ceremonies between gay couples and have some idea that the blood that courses through the veins of a homosexual is probably riddled with STDs and AIDs
