Go get married in a Synagogue or Temple if you are Jewish.
Then Halacha will define your marriage.

Go get married in a Catholic Mass if you are Catholic.
Then Catholic values will define your marriage.

Go get married in a Protestant service if you are Protestant.
Then Protestant values will define your marriage.

What the secular world does or does not condone should not affect your values.

Rise above the crowd, be better and more aware of your own shortcomings, rather than the shortcomings that you perceive in others.

What you are suggesting is like advising someone living in the midst of a landfill or sewer to have a nice clean house and there will be no stench. "Gay rights" radicals and their fellow libertines are turning our country into a moral sewer. The stench is going to carry everywhere. Unless someone lives on a long dirt road somewhere in the midst of the wilderness, the destruction of marriage is going to affect everyone.

Ever lived even near a landfill or sewage treatment plant? They stink, no matter how personally clean you are.

The "secular world" doesn't comprehend everything that is done outside a church or temple. Your statement implies that moral values based in revealed truth should be closeted, and the amorality of Babylon prevail in the public places.

You have articulated the homosexuals' position on public morality.

Being a sovereign People, we need not apologize to anyone who isn't the God of Israel for what we decide to make our public morality. The fact that our mores are deeply Jewish and kohein in their origins -- particularly as regards personal modesty and where we set the boundaries between public and private, and private and deeply personal -- and that those mores were subscribed to by Christian Europe is something of which we can justly be proud, not apologetic, and something that we can openly recognize as inuring to our benefit as a society.

We don't need to take anything off anybody, or suffer the sodomites to strike words out of our mouths, or inscriptions and symbols off our buildings and out of our mind's eye. We will not be censored by the trashy little commissar-wannabes of political correctness.

"Political correctness", by the way, is a term of art invented by the Nazis. Its purposes and uses ought to be obvious, and repellent, to every freedom-loving American.
