And we take gay rights away by vote -- much more polite.

I would take that over getting killed any day. And what rights have we taken away? The right to be married? Ummmmm....I do believe that there are certain criteria everyone has to meet to be legally married so it is not a "right". Americans have the "right" to not like anyone, or anything, for any reason. They do not have the right to punish them for that. If you kill someone because they are gay, you get a stricter punishment than if you kill them for the hell of it. You want your partner to have everything you own when you die, make a will or a living trust. Name them as your benificiary on your life insurance policy. Hell, I am all for everybody getting the same treatment and changing the laws so that a civil union (or whatever) gets the benies as a married couple.....but I am not for changing the legal definition just so homosexuals can feel better.
Also....when was the last time you saw a Christian group organize an army, control the country and threaten to exterminate an entire country because they were Jewish? (They also have to have the ability to do it, so the KKK don't count) Comparing Iran and it's leader to Jerry Falwell........whatever.
