Really? If homosexuality is common and normal, then it's pretty odd that it repulsed most people until about five years ago, when the media magically said that everyone accepted it.
Looking at history, people weren't repulsed by it before they were repulsed by it.
Also, it wouldn't make any sense. Heterosexual marriage is normal and societally accepted. Then, as I documented, after dozens of defeats at the ballot box, gay marriage was forced on America. And so to argue "well, maybe nobody should be married" is illogical. Gays should just not be married.
When the ban on interracial marriage was lifted by the Supreme Court more than two thirds of Americans were against it.
So, by your thinking, interracial marriage could still be illegal.

It's interesting that you are trying to equate interracial heterosexual marriage with homosexual marriage. That's more of a reach than when I draw parallels between homosexuality and pedophilia, which always triggers people on the left.
That's neat. So why did dozens of referendums keep failing until they had to mandate gay marriage because judges got tired of striking down the will of the people?

Except that marriage isn't a right. Also, it's sort of poor form to talk about minorities when you just tried to argue that the majority support gay marriage, which means you just trampled on the minority, who are opposed to gay marriage. Also, you just admitted that the popular vote is against gay marriage, which contradicts everything you've been claiming.

So no stories about what caused everyone to spontaneously reject the previously-normal and accepted homosexual anal sex?

You missed the point.
In this country the fundamental rights of the minority are not subject to majority vote.....that is what makes this country great and that is what makes interracial marriage and homosexual marriage comparable......neither would exist if it was up to the masses.

So, to repeat:
1) Marriage isn't a right.
2) You claimed that everyone supports gay marriage, so clearly they're not in the minority, according to you.
3) You just admitted that the majority vote opposes gay marriage, which would not exist if it was "up to the masses," which contradicts the unscientific polls you tried to post.
4) I'm still interested in the story you're going to make up to tell me how homosexuality was normal and accepted until it wasn't and how that occurred.
Just 20 years ago, I could make this statement and there would hardly be a cringe among a crowd.
Today, it is seen as taboo; as if a damning slander suddenly leaped out of the dark ages. Heck, someone might close this very thread.
Why is this? How is it that a societal opinion can change so quickly, and so fiercely?
If consenting adults want to marry, that is their business, not mine.
I always get along real well with gay people, so having married gay neighbors would mean I'd probably have neighbors I like.
