Unfortunately, my granddaughter did just that, posted her photo with the rainbow colors, I told her that what she did was inappropriate and she protested saying that gays have a right to be happy, she’s approximately in her 30’s but she lives in that liberal bastion of Ann Arbor. I have unfriended her. (married with 2 children)

It is a shame that is going on, it reminds me of the days prior to the Civil War. I have no problem if they want to marry, yeah, I'll admit they deserve to be happy, but for those who do not share their values, they have the right to live their lives too. It is like the pendulum has swung from one way to another. I can understand how many :LGBT's can be angry, in many cases, they got the short end of the stick in certain circumstances. Fine, for the most part, that has been corrected, but it is equally bad to give those that oppose them the short end of the stick too by doing the same thing to them that was down to them in the past. The pendulum, at least in our nation, needs to be in the middle, both sides get most of what they want but people have the right to disagree and not participate if thy don't want to. I admit I'm a libertarian, I get it from both sides at times, but this is something the Constitution rules where it should rest with the States and people to decide for themselves. I have friends on both side of the issue. No one should be bullied on either side and since the momentum is on the LGBT side, there are radical elements that keep pushing. If people are pushed into a corner, can can see a civil war and backlash where people of all sides will get hurt or worse. Shame we can't all just live our lives in peace and just go on. If the LGBT side does not want to be pushed and demonized, that is fine and should not happen but they should not push those who have strong religious values either.

Even so, there is a side of me where this issue was the perfect one to divert attention from them passing the TPP ObamaTrade bill.

Frankly, I don't care if one is gay or straight as long as they believe in a small government, State's rights and the rights of everyone to be left alone to their lives as long as they do not hurt others. Also, what should be in the bedroom stays there, that goes for everyone.
