So why are you so bugged out about LGBTQ people if what they do in their bedrooms and private lives are of no concern to you?

I already CLEARLY explained this especially to SilverKris since we have been going back and forth for 2 hours about this. Go back and read what I said.

I can't stop any of that but that does not mean I have to nor will accept it. I can give people an evil eye or make a comment if I see something that disgusts me. I don't think I have ever seen people like that where I live...I have in other cities but not here..They don't have a legal right to marry,the constitution has been so bastardized its disgustingly sad.

How does their love diminish the value of your own life, or your own marriage?
Unless you live outside the US, (maybe you do) gays have the right to marry in your state.
And the fact that you don't see gays doesn't mean they aren't there. They are.
What does the constitution say about marriage? Oh that's right. Nothing.

(referring to the bold) Hate to break it to you, but actually they do have a legal right to marry. Obergefell vs. Hodges, 2015.

If Republicans had their way, I'm certain it would be illegal for gay people to hold hands in public. Homosexuality would still exist, as it always has, but it would be pushed deep into the closet.
Part of the reason American Republicans are so sympathetic to Putin is they like his anti-gay propaganda law.

Half the country is still throwing a tantrum about that SCOTUS decision and refuses to accept it. And they have the nerve to criticize liberals for not accepting the results of the 2016 election because we refuse to worship Donald Trump as divine leader.

Half? Are you sure HALF of Americans are against Gay Marriage?
Maybe half of the people YOU know.
The latest PEW research shows 32% of Americans oppose it, and that percentage has been in decline.
It would be interesting to know, among those who are most vehemently against it, what their private sexual orientation is.
'Cuz - do you care at all if people are Vegan? I doubt it. If they hoard cats? Doubt it.
Why care what other people do with their love, behind closed doors? THAT'S the million dollar question.

Well, expect them to not give up. The Masterpiece Cake Shop case, for example. No victory is permanent.
Look at the anti-abortion folks - did they fold after Roe vs. Wade in 1973?
If the sight of two gay men is so offensive to you that you have to make an insulting comment at them, you are pathetic and very possibly a closeted homosexual and lashing out due to sexual frustration.

I don't expect them to give up - I expect them to die off.
This next generation is, by and large, COMPLETELY accepting of their gay peers.
Once the older generations die off, this hatred of other people's life style and choice of partners will die with them.
