If I was gay, I would prefer those who made it harder to get guns yet want to change the way the world views me as a human, to those who prefer to let this view change at a snails pace while allowing me to get some defense a little easier. You think that people care about marriage or that it is insignificant? It's because it is easier to lessen the humanity of people if they happen to lack certain liberties. I think that the DA-DT agreement is a concession to bullies and uneducated traitors to this nation, and I also think that too few of the right-wing crowd wants to change peoples minds about the gay population. We have official electees spreading lies about the homosexuality-pedophilia link, and there are many who don't even raise an eyebrow. If I was gay, I would not wait and see whether society would accept me fully, while clinging to a weapon and hoping for some change. I shouldn't have to. I can get guns anywhere in America save for San Fran, and I don't like fog so maybe someone can convince me that having to wait for a gun a little longer is worse than having to wait for my recognition as an American a little longer. The right to marry in church is not a symbol, it is a step.
Make no mistake I prefer the libertarians, but they place too much weight on the guns and I don't think that trusting the market or some other nebulous force to sort out homophobia is a good solution. They are ready to allow employers to segregate who they employ and I don't want that either. It's a surrender to those who betray America by categorizing people by irrelevant parameters.
