During the argument for “gay marriage” in NY, I found myself swayed for a moment by the soft cooing of its well-dressed politicians and public supporters in the media, declaring all they wanted was “equality” and “tolerance.” It was very disarming, and when simplified to such a level, I found myself questioning my opposition to “gay marriage.”
Then, a short 24 hours after Cuomo signed the bill, I saw the videos, as did everyone else, of gay men wearing only g-strings and cowboy boots, simulating sexual contact, and of gay women stripped to their underwear, all parading publicly through the streets of NY “celebrating.”
I felt foolish, and angry - It took only a short 24 hours for their intellectual promises of virtue to show themselves as the ugly reality of disgusting public license. All those interviewed on the streets still used the same cliches about “tolerance” and “equality,” but coming from them it sounded like mocking - as though I had bought a lemon of a used car, and now the salesmen were laughing about the words they had used to sell it to me.
I have no such propensity for sympathetic tolerance of homosexuality. My beliefs are based on Biblical doctrine. That doesn’t mean I want to inject my beliefs in their bedroom. It simply means I find it blasphemy in the face of God, and will be dealt with by Him. Yet I will fight tooth and nail any incursion into the sanctity of marriage as an institution.
If they want to act their perversions, let them do so in darkness where it belongs. I see no reason why it should be sanctioned by state.

The cleaned up version they now show on tv, attended by local politicians and news readers to show their “open-mindedness”, is another example of what you speak of. What has been seen cannot be unseen. I know exactly what they are....
