No Civil Rights Arguement
It's all very simple...
those who choose an immoral lifestyle, one with which most Americans disagree, are at liberty to marry someone of the opposite sex, just like everyone else.
A gay man may marry a woman just as a lesbian may marry a man.
They have the same rights as everyone else!
There IS no discrimination on this issue, and it does not fall under a Civil Rights arguement.
Who they choose to do "whatever" with, is up to them.

It is unfortunate that some would want to shut down the healthy debate over "gay marriage." Believe me, not all gays want gay marriage. And to oppose it does not meet the standard of homophobia. This transparent attempt at thought control causes many to feel pity for this young woman who simply stated her own personal convictions. Who are the bigots?
