Let me be crystal clear. If you want to be gay, then by all means be gay. But in my opinion, this country would be well served, if you did so knowing that certain restrictions would then be applied to your life, not on mine.
I don't see why giving gays equal rights infringes on yours. No one is forcing you to marry a man. I am not gay but I believe in small Government(or preferably no Government), Government in no way should be interfering in the private lives of their citizens and that includes how that persons marries.

What I don't understand is that most opposition comes from so called Conservatives who believe in small government. They believe that Government should not infringe civil liberties such as gun ownership. But when it comes to comes to Gay marriage they want Big Government to enforce their personal morality into Law.

Mmm Just look at the filth and happens in New Orleans during Madi Gras. Men give beads if a women flashes her breasts in public. Do you have problem with this? What about spring break? When tonnes of college kids go to the beaches, party, get drunk and have sex. This is all done by heterosexuals.

If you believe that because of the image of Gay's in certain Cities is a reason for denying equal rights then I think we should really considering banning all marriages(straight or otherwise)
