Once upon a time, marrying someone of a different race was considered to be an actionable crime... This is not about civil rights. Behavior is not a civil rights issue. Homosexuality is a BEHAVIOR.

Behavior is not a civil rights issue.
This is a nice argument at first glance (especially when people try to equate gay rights with black civil rights) but I think claiming civil rights aren't about behaviors is a flawed argument that is too easy to dispute. Just read the Bill of Rights.
All of these behaviors are protected civil rights: speech, religious practice, assembly, petitioning the courts, bearing arms, etc.
