i've been gay my whole life yet i have yet to figure out what people mean by the gay agenda.

is it people born with the gay orientation marrying other gay people born with the gay orientation? if so what the heck does that have to do with you?

i've met many of straight people married to those of the opposite sex, yet i've never felt it affect me or was my business in any way.

do you mean my agenda of finding a better job and grocery shopping etc? don't get it.

That website has some errors.

It is not legal (fortunately) in California.

In Denmark, it is "under consideration."

Social conservatives are such compassionate people.

I bet going to one of those bars/clubs is like stepping onto the set of Deliverance.

No grandeur, just the legalities of it all. Nobody will be dictating what you buy, ever. I'm not gay btw and don't care much about this issue. But it gay marriage WILL be legal and social benefits WILL be granted because that's how it works. You can't really change the fact that life is changing, you'll be dead (or in a nursing home being bitter about life), and nobody will care what you think about gays.

Really??
I can't tell you how many straight people I have seen making out in public, announcing their engagements and marriages in the newspaper, talking about their husbands and wives.
I'm against marriage...and you people are always in our faces.

That's because Denmark introduced registered partnership with full legal force back in, oh, 1989 or thereabouts. Which was a first. The kicker: Anyone but the religious fringe calls it marriage. Nobody cares.
