" This is America. The majority doesn’t have the right to vote out of existence the civil rights of the minority."

Strictly speaking, the above statement is absolutely correct. We are a democracy in the way that we elect our leaders. However, our form of government is a constitutional republic. It is a constitutional republic for such reasons as what is stated above.

However, the application of it to the gay rights movement is incorrect. No one is taking away any of their "rights". What is going on in this country is the gays are trying to re-define what marriage is. Everyone else is saying no, you can't redefine marriage. A legal marriage has always been between one man and one woman. There are many states in our country that allow for legal unions so that they can have legal rights for wills and hospital visitations. The true agenda of the gay left is that they want acceptance as normal. Look, we in America are tolerant of their lifestyle. We don't believe that someone should be beat up or discriminated against simply because they are gay. However, we don't accept it as a normal lifestyle just as many other lifestyles are deemed abnormal. They are wrong to try to force their lifestyle on us as normal.

Not really. That is just the emotional front for the real agenda, which is getting tax and insurance benefits presently granted to marriage partners. If we gave them that, they would shortly shut up about marriage.

By using the courts to hand down unappealable, final decree laws in their favor, gays are working furiously to overthrow democracy through judicial review in forum-shopped courts.

They are said to have at least one closeted associate justice on the Supreme Court ready to help them win the case of their dreams, which will hand down such a decree to all fifty States of the Union, criminalizing anyone who disagrees with the homosexuals -- including entire churches and anyone who utters any of the offending lines in the books of Genesis and Leviticus.

A Canadian divine has already been prosecuted for preaching Leviticus in his own pulpit. Gays hope to do that here -- to turn "non-reconciling" (i.e., "full Gospel") churches into the legal equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan.

The gay agenda on marriage is to destroy it. Marriage is heterosexually normative; it underscores the normality of heterosexual couples having children together and implicitly rebukes the sexual practices of homosexuals.
