You most likely are heartless or a bible thumper or both.

Or, y'know, the fact that they still can't get married in what, 35 states?

They don't really have to worry about other stuffs, homosexuals are more educated and affluent than the general population.

Im starting to think the OP is bitter because people are happy and in love. Nobody wants to be with a bitter social conservative who blames all his failures in life on some minority group.

Never in my lifetime have I passed out a flier that "touts" my preference for men or the fact that I am hetrosexual. Why do these Gay people have to blast their sexual preference all over the media, in the fliers they pass out and in the demonstrations they pull on the streets of our cities?? Ridiculous.
I don't give a RATS BEHIND who people sleep with just don't push your propaganda in anyones face.
Now, if as a young person this "agenda" bothers you..tell the gay person pushing that flier in your face to keep his "paperwork"; you are not interested in who he sleeps with and walk away. The more fuss you make the bigger the reason for them to push their agenda!!
Often times turning your back on unwanted pressure and walking away from an unwanted situation is enough to stop that particular AGENDA from being pushed. Good Luck with this. It goes on everywhere now and it just isn't right. My opinion only.
You should educate yourself.

My best guess is that you don't feel the need to call attention to your sexual orientation because nobody is discriminating against you based on it...

Is it really that difficult to understand that calling attention to an injustice requires bringing the basis for this injustice to light?

If you are young - eventually you have to think for yourself...but it seems that there is a trend against individualism these days...I can't describe how the SAME the Hipsters and their progressive allies are. They look the same- they act the same- they think the same...they don't want to know- They do not want real knowledge or wisdom. These Hipster Liberal Progressives...want to avoid THINKING....as some of them said...We just want to have fun.

For some reason, I envisioned this in a campy musical, being sung by a flamboyant guy playing the character of a closeted gay man.

Because our generation grew up with the internet. We have always had exposure to unlimited information and knowledge, as well as a way to talk with and better understand many other cultures. Therefore, we are expected (by our peers at least) to not be ignorant bigoted racists like the majority of our parents and their generation.

And let's be honest: The only people who oppose gay marriage are ignorant bigots. Since you are expected to not be an ignorant bigot (because you grew up with the internet), you are expected to not have the same opinion as them.
