Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
That is not the issue. The issue, simply put, is should society announce in capital letters that it approves of homosexual lifestyles. That is why the well-funded and politically powerful gay lobby is pushing this issue so hard.
Why do you think they are well funded? Perhaps because they are successful?
BTW, I am straight, but I too believe the gay marriages should be allowed. I am also convinced that female voting rights were debated as much as this several decades ago. We all know the outcome.
