What is the big problem with gay people?

So what is the big problem with gay people?

I know America has a tradition of hating those that aren't in the mainstream, has a history of violent racism, has a history of near genocide....aren't those times behind us yet?

Can't we grow up America?

OK, so you think being gay is a sin. Big deal. You are welcome to your beliefs but why do you want to police other people and make them behave the way you think is appropriate?

"...the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness..."

People died for this concept. It isn't supposed to please the status quo, it is supposed to protect the minority. If one group of people does not have these rights, then it isn't a right. It is a privilege.

And what is wrong with gay marriage? We are talking about civil marriages. It doesn't force a church to change the way they do weddings. I already know churches that do gay weddings, even they don't stand up in court. They do stand up in the eyes of God. Isn't the church marriage the one that matters? "Give unto Rome, that which is Rome's" I think, applies to leaving to the government, what the government does. What we do in our spiritual life is our right to express as we want.

But, there are some among us that think the rights of the Constitution are only for the few and not for all.

They wish to expand government, to police our behavior. They want the government to make people act in the way that a radical few think is the way a good christian should behave. If you don't behave this way, then the government will come and take care of you.
