Would the nobel prizes mean much if they were handing them out at every corner store? I'm not saying I give a shit, but is it really that hard to understand why it would annoy the shit out of some people? Blame it on the hulking behemoth of ignorance I like to call "religion".
I completely understand why it would annoy some people. Some people are bigoted fucks. I was just hoping that maybe there was something more to the whole thing than just the "ick" factor or whatever it is that flips people out about gays

Jeez, you guys are cracking hard on the conservative folk. Like it was stated, it's a matter of belief and as much as we may tout separation of church and state, it's still inexorably linked.

There are numerous parallels to this issue throughout history which receive the same treatment: status quo; people begin to question it; there is a counter-movement; the two ends collide for some time with legislation usually leaning towards one end; eventually the reformist movement makes way and gains some of its aims. I would assess an acceptable parallel to be the Black Rights Movement
