One group cannot claim "First Ammendment" and then say it is wrong for the other side to have their say. GLSEN is not "protecting gays" they are taking away my belief of the Bible and having their day to say that my interpretation is wrong. If you want Freedom of Speech, you have to allow both sides, or don't say you believe in it. Black people cannot change their color; they were discriminated against on the basis of their skin, which they wore on them all the time 24/7. Gays are "discriminated against" or so they say, by who they choose to have sex with. There is a difference!

Does that mean it was wrong for African-Americans to "redefine marriage" in 1967 with Loving v. Virginia? After all, they had the right to marry within their own race, just like everyone else. How exactly does "redefinition" of marriage impact all of society, as you claim? What about redefining voting rights, or property rights, as has happened previously in American history? What about comparable societies in Europe who have "redefined" marriage? There's a reason that the law does not work with "one-size-fits-all" logic. Of course homosexual individuals have the right, just like everyone else, to marry someone of the opposite sex. But you also have the right, just like anyone else, to tolerate it. And you have the right, just like everyone else, to convert to my religion, dress in the way I tell you to dress, only speak about what I tell you, etc. This is not "protecting marriage." It is the legalization of prejudice against people who do not agree with your specific interpretation of the Bible and Christianity. Last time I checked, that was not what democracy is about. It is wrong to take away civil rights with a plebiscite. So they can marry, but hey just can’t redefine marriage?

Redefinition of marriage impacts all of society on personal, legal, and political levels. Accepting or allowing someone to live harmoniously side-by-side does not mean that all of their conduct must be sanctioned or approved.

There is no reason to fight against homosexual rights. Some say that homosexuals already have all the rights that everyone else has, but this is not true, they lack the right of marriage. Why is it impossible to accept that some people are different from you, and do not wish to be apart of your selected beliefs? Is it too hard to just accept someone for who he or she is and live harmoniously side-by-side? To me, this is just a way to fight against a group of people who you simply disagree with.
