Really hard to get an intelligent response at all in this thread.
Lets just cut to the chase. Perhaps the most liberal state in the union just decided to ban gay marriage. If denying gays the ability to marry is a denial of rights, why would they do this?
One side here says that it is the ignorance of some folks and deep rooted bigotry brought on by some sense of misgiven faith.
The other side says it is gods will and that regular folks deep down believe this.
You are both wrong. In reality the decision boils down to the dynamic that put this country together. You might believe in religion and you might not, but you do have some sense of morality and normalcy. You might like to think these are dirty words, but we all have an internal process to determine right and wrong. You make these judgements every day, we just don't verbalize many of them because of political correctness.
In this case, most people look at homosexuality as not normal and you just cannot dispute that. You can rain down on people with political correctness and make them afraid to say what the really think, but you cannot dispute the finding.
Most people look at a gay person and see something biologically or mentally wrong. Yes, thats politically incorrect, but there it is anyway. This isn't a moral decision. It is just reality. They care that you are gay and they don't necessarily find it to be a problem for them that you are gay. But don't ask them to give you an exception to what they believe is normal.
