Or maybe you won't? You seem to complain a lot about what other people do. You seem to take offense with the actions of others that don't impact your life.

As a happy, gay, Jewish man, I have to say, you certainly seem more like a malcontent.

If calling me names and making a personal attack helps you get through the night, OK.

A gay news paper is quoting 9% of Americans are gay ?

NHIS reports that only 1.6% of Americans identify as gay.
Less than 3% identify as gay, bi or trans.

Health survey gives government its first large-scale data on gay, bisexual population - The Washington Post

Your posts really exhibit a true streak of meanness that I have rarely seen. I think that's what a lot of this boils down too-- Many who oppose SSM and = rights for GLBT folks are just plain mean about it. Whether its refusing service (and hiding behind "religious" beliefs) or calling all gays unhappy and malcontent, it's just plain mean.

Of course, conservatism itself (sadly) looks more and more like the doctrine of selfishness and ill will towards those who are different or think different.

More than anything I think many are threatened by the idea that they can't hold everything static, sealed in time, forever...when the reality is that everything is continually changing, non-static, and there is nothing that permanent. This fact frustrates many conservatives, I have noticed.

In 2012 1.2% of Japanese and 3.1% of Australians are designated LGBTs, is now 7.6% and 6.5% respectively, which explains this explosive growth, if not greater acceptance ... I can not believe that the US a continental nation has proportionally fewer LGBTs that Australia it is laughable and blatantly lying, surveys like these are failures, especially as other studies like Gallup in 2012 they were 3.4% and the institute Williams said in 2011 were 3.8%, and Pew (2014) the number of lgbt people is 4.6%, then in which one should I believe? ... research like this are volatile, any ride in the street you find that everything is a lie.

Didn't Bruce Jenner recently kill a woman in traffic by rear ending her at a traffic light while texting? And now she's being celebrated as a hero by the MSM and progressive groups? That kind of shows you where their priorities are.

In any case, she now he has the right like any other woman to appear in highly photo shopped publicity shots. I thought women were against that type of thing? Didn't Dove create an entire ad campaign based off that? I suppose she doesn't care... she and the Kardashian family must be raking in millions from all the social justice warrior chest thumping.

Again, if your personal attacks help you get through the night, I can handle it. BTW, I'm black and Jewish.

NHIS is the government..the CDC in fact. When you like the numbers the government is good but when you don't like the numbers the government is bad and is lying ?

You've been given answers, you're responses lead me to believe you aren't asking questions for intellectual purposes though. You reduce the answers to what you did below:

It is in fact about equal protection under the law. The same securities that are given to heterosexual couples must be provided to homosexual couples. Marriage is currently the most efficient way of doing this. If you want to get into the civil union subject, fine, but I'm obligated to point out that the same states that don't have gay marriage often also don't have civil unions available to homosexuals.

Marriage isn't a special thing. It's a social contract between consenting bodies. That's all it's ever been at it's most basic level: an agreement.
