Oxymoron
ox·y·mo·ron [ok-si-mawr-on]
Rhetorical figure by which contradictory terms are conjoined so as to give point to the statement or expression; the word itself is an illustration of the thing. Now often used loosely to mean "contradiction in terms."
[Online Etymology Dictionary ]
Gay Rights
Definition: equal civil and social rights for homosexuals
[Webster's New Millennium™ Dictionary of English]
Now that we have the above terms properly defined, I feel that we are ready to go on.
As some allege, an example of an oxymoron, is "Gay Rights". However, I feel compelled to point out the definition of an oxymoron as shown above refers to a "contradiction in terms", which is clearly absent in the term "Gay Rights". By any rule of the English Language, I can thus prove once and for all that "Gay Rights" is NOT an oxymoron, unlike "Cruel Kindness" and "Slow Lightning".
As a result, I feel extrememly compelled to assume that when you say " 'Gay Rights' is an oxymoron", you are actually implying that members of the homosexual community are are to be denied rights to be themselves? To be denied freedom, a principle which many fathers of fathers fought for, and swore their loves to uphold? Rights that make us human, rights that make us unique from other mammals. Am I right to assume you want these people to be deprived of their rights and freedom, and instead to be classified as animals with homosexual tendencies?
So please, for the love of the Language, keep it in your heads to not use powerful words such as "oxymoron" to further your cause to deprive our fellow homo sapiens, who happen to belong to the category we give them as "Homosexual", of their rights.
Speaking of which, the word "Homosexual" contains the prefix "Homo", which is the genus of us humans. Thus, I beseech anyone who reads this to please uphold their rights as human.

I have received comments since Lime's first post that the bright colours have caused some discomfort among out readers.
i have chosen the stronger and darker of these "bright" colours, so as to prevent any chance of a serious epileptic fit.. besides.. we do not have more than 5 people to count as our readership..
