Let me ask a candid question. Since you constantly crow about state's rights and your opposition to gay marriage, tell us if you have voted or would vote for a state marriage ammendment in your state uncategorically defining marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman?
Now that's quite a leap. Why was my use of the word homophobe inevitable, and how does it relate to either this issue or all of my other opinions concerning society? Did you fail to read past that at all? Were there any misrepresentations I made? Did I state any untrue fact? What about the whole of the argument? You are very concerned about that word, but that tiny minority I have labeled has referred to me as a homo lover, homo agenda proponent, socialist, fascist, Marxist, leftist, homo lib, and yes, even a terrorist. All of this because I believe everyone is entitled to due process and the right to privacy. So are you sure the use of that word by me is all that bad?
The "tiny" minority you mention has produced a torrent of pro-traditional-marriage state legislation (19 and counting) and would probably pass in every state given the choice.
Not at all. I'm referring to those who share the values of a certain few on a ping list they have said they prefer I not refer to. They spend their entire waking day finding reasons to eliminate homosexuality from the face of the earth. They have no other interests, either social or political. They are complete crusaders for as they refer to it "the truth" in spite of their numerous misstatements, lies, mischaracterizations and violating every fallacy of logical debate. They permit no questions of any statement they make, and threaten continually to have the questioner banned. They file numerous complaints with the moderators. I don't think that is the mainstream of America who in spite of their acceptance of homosexuality as a fact of life, still believe a marriage is between one man and one woman. They, not this tiny misguided minority, bear the responsibility for passage of those laws.
Since you constantly crow about state's rights and your opposition to gay marriage,
That is another misstatement. States have no rights, only powers derived from the US Constitution. People have rights, and these just rights cannot be abrogated by any state.
if you have voted or would vote for a state marriage ammendment in your state uncategorically defining marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman?
I absolutely would have just as I voted for Colorado's Amendment 2 (which in retrospect was a mistake). Nonetheless, as I have repeatedly stated, I believe in the institution of marriage as between one woman and one man. But I just as vehemently believe that if another state chooses to define marriage differently than my state, they have the freedom to do that. As long as my state does not have to recognize it, I'm fine.
