So let's define this. I agree with you in principle, but not practice. The state can tell me whatever it deems it wants to, and I'm probably on video every step I take, but they can't regulate marriage? I personally don't care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes. It's nobody's business. I don't walk into work and start bragging about what I did with my GF. I don't run around in the street dressed like Bozo the Clown in a G-string announcing my normalcy.
Legally, I agree with you. That's always been my stance. It isn't ME nor anyone that thinks like me. It's a small minority demanding attention and actually getting it. The crap is getting old. IMO, Madeleine Murray OHare got God's justice. Being a weirdo does NOT give you special rights under the Constitution. Being part of the majority DOES. You want to be weird? Accept the consequences. Geez, you should have heard what people said about weightlifters in the 70s. We were dumb. Could lift a ton but couldn't spell it.
Everybody's got an excuse to attack others. But I'm sick of these people whining like little bitches over someone attacking them. Get over it. Someone who is looking to find something wrong with you always will.
Look at our country. We cater to less than 20% of population. And we're about to have a criminal as a President. What does that say about us?

PP1 - IMO the state should regulate contracts which is where the state's concerns with marriage should end. Two consenting adults engaging in an agreement of a personal nature that may very well have children as part of a dissolution.
PP2 - The only right being in the majority gets you is your preferred candidate is elected to represent you in the halls of government. Being in the majority doesn't get you special rights and we're in agreement that neither does being in the minority.
PP3 & 4 - I think we're in agreement.

A gay Texas pastor who sued Whole Foods after he bought a cake that he alleged had a slur written on it in icing has dropped his lawsuit against the grocer. Jordan Brown of Austin dropped the suit and issued an apology on Monday. Brown said he was "wrong to pursue this matter and use the media to perpetuate this story."

Whole Foods should vigorously pursue their lawsuit against him for the defamation that he caused.
Being in the majority does not give you special rights. I agree with that. It gives you right of democracy. That's not special. It's a rule of law that the left has convoluted by special legislation.
I could care less about civil unions. This is a contrived war over a word. That was said a decade ago but the gays weren't happy until they usurped the word "marriage". That's tyranny of the minority. Nothing democratic about THAT.
