To wittle it down, why should I support gay marriage when most gays tend to be anti 2nd amendment? Do we support all Constitutional rights or just those we agree with?

As a side note, I encourage you liberals to check my posting history recently. I have been nothing but supportive of gay marriage.

The fact still remains, when the inevitable happens and I go to the ballot box in Oregon to vote on gay marriage one day, I can't help but to see hypocrisy in this group so ardent for their own constitutional rights while infringing on mine.

I don't think being gay somehow determines a person's ideological position or changes their politics, any more then a person's skin color makes them genetically predisposed to go a certain way either.

Generally, you are supposed to take a position on an issue based on the merit of the arguments pertaining to that issue and not because of the positions of other individuals on issues besides the one at hand. I'm pretty sure you should have been made aware of this or should have figured it out by yourself by the time you finished middle school.

This seems to be alot of people, we all seem to cherry pick them to some extent.

I could say alot of pro-2A people don't really seem to understand or advocate much for the 4A for example.

Marriage has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment, they are two completely different issues. Though there are numerous gay rights groups that support gun rights as well

I'm not so sure you are correct on this one, VT. Either that, or I know a lot of gay gun owners. Could be because I live in Houston.

Are you sure most gay people are anti 2nd amendment? I know many who own guns. I have even contemplated getting one for myself.

Or the 1A for that matter, given the number of them who favor the establishment of Christianity as the state religion.
