 * Fair and humane treatment of LGBT minorities (this need not include adoption of extra legislation, such as same-sex marriage or same-sex adoption)

By the definition of fair, I believe we mean equal. However above we now have a contradiction. Either the state allows every couple to get a marriage license or no couple does, and either any responsible, loving, caring adult can adopt, or no adults can adopt. This idea that LGBT people get "extra" rights or privledges is often an absurd accusation. MDAD should simply be about giving all peoples respect and dignity, and fighting all forms of inequality. I think our standards need to be raised. Again, MDAD should be focused on equal treatment under the law for all peoples. Thanks! ~ UCS

FYI, the PC term, if you so care to know, is Marriage Equality not gay/same-sex marriage, despite its common usage.
