I have always been neutral on the subject of gay marriage, but the gay marriage activists are ruining it for me. I hate how in your face they are and how they automatically assume that anybody against gay marriage is a homophobic bigot. It almost makes me not want them to win with gay marriage issues because of how obnoxious they can be. I also hate how sensitive they can be. Like if somebody says "That's so gay" they get all offended.
Anybody else feel this way?
No, I'm the opposite. I'm tired of the people who don't support marriage equality for all. There is no reason for it, it's spiteful & hateful, plain & simple. That is what I call obnoxious.
Yeah, if those silly gays would just shut up about not having equal rights then it would be fine. Doesn't matter they don't have equal rights, just shut up and keep trudging through life.
It's pretty much what is heard throughout gaining equal rights. "If those lousy Negros would just shut up about wanting equal rights...then it would be okay" (actual quote from an older relative before civil rights). "If those filthy liberal commie leftists wouldn't fill those Negros heads with equal rights, they could shut up and get back to work" (The Rum Diaries - Hunter S. Thompson). This isn't new at all, nor is this neutral. It's bigotry that a person is fine with discrimination and the group that is wanting equality is wrong.
Wished I could rep you ten times for this. Good post Emerald
It's a huge issue for bigots who see it as losing their last holdout of institutionalized discrimination. They lost the fight against women. They lost the fight against racial minorities. And now they're losing the fight against homosexuals. It's rather nauseating how obsessed they are with something that doesn't affect them in any way.
It's also a big issue for the self-appointed Guardians of Morality.
I suppose we can say that homophobic bigotry is a major priority for those who refuse to admit that they are the Guardians of Immorality. Such statements, though, are utterly pointless and vacuous. Why not engage the discussion as a mature adult, instead of engaging in such pointless nonsense?

Are you saying it isn't a big issue for those who see it as their mission to safeguard the nation's morals?

No. I agree with them; I think people who are against gay marriage are bigoted.
