Once this was successfully cast as a civil rights issue the war was over. You don't get to vote on people's civil rights.

Exactly. And the vehicle for this fallacy is Lawrence v. Texas in which a court majority gave Carte Blanche to any and all desires that a person may want to express as giving "meaning to life." By such reasoning, is there now any "self expression" that can't be construed as being protected by the U.S. Constitution? This court decision was the flushing of all societal norms down the drain.

Yep. No argument from me.

But as a movement they just took careful aim and blew both feet off. It will take awhile but it will boomerang. ‘Gay marriage’ will be seen as their ‘bridge too far’.
