I guess, Royalbatty, the core of gay marriage, same-sex unions, whatever you want to call it - is equality. In the U.S. gays are considered to be second-class citizens, that that's an outrage.
I think that's part of it along with the desire by some to undermine any type of moral code.
And yes, we can agree on something - acting like morons in public is disgraceful! Those gay pride parades are ridiculous in the sense of all that kink stuff. Completely unnecessary, and something that should be done in private where families don't have to see it.
Amen.
So again, I say to everyone, don't think that those gay pride parades speak to all gays, because lots of gays find them offensive too. Some people thought that all black people sat on porches, ate watermelon and fried chicken all day. Same sh*t, different story.
I understand the point you're trying to make but connecting racism and viewing homosexuality as wrong isn't the same thing. I do feel that homosexual behavior is detructive, just as having kids out of wedlock or society's casual attitude toward divorce both are. Will it be the end of the world when same-sex marriage is legalized across the country? Nah. But it will be another blow to society (no pun intended).
