Clearly not a civil rights issue. Any prejudice against homosexuals is based upon citizens saying "Ewwwwwwww!" when they encounter homosexuality. The civil rights movement was about police forces telling blacks: "You can't sit there. You can't vote. Use the other water fountain. You try that and I'll bust your head."

I dunno. I see a difference.

Gays would argue that there are forces telling them: "You can't get married." Don't buy it. They can get married; it just won't be sanctioned/licensed from the state.

The civil rights movement is about an imutable trait not a behavior.

It also requires invidious discrimination. A black man or woman can't hide their skin.

Homesexual CAN marry a willing member of the opposite sex. Love has never been a prerequisite to marriage. (even in history)

Additionally ABSOLUTLY NOTHING stops ANY two people from adopting a cohabitation agreement. It is a contract and it is enforcable in any civil court. (just not domestic relations court divisions) The forms are redily available online, some for free.

The forcing of homosexual behavior into the public marriage institution is all about imposing public acceptance about a private sexual behavior.

This is not about guess who is comming to diner, this is about who wants to put their male genitals into your son.
