Taunt right back to you. You wouldn't know society's better interest if it walked up to you and bit you.

And as the degree of rejection is lifted, a large chunk of the population will decide it is not hetero at all.

And all this is a compelling societal interest how?

You haven't answered my question yet.

You brought up my motivation. What's yours?

              That's because I believe in  individual, not group, rights. The interests of society concern me very little.

And as the degree of rejection is lifted, a large chunk of the population will decide it is not hetero at all.

This outcome is based on the assumptions of social conservatives, not mine.
I believe there is a genetic component to homosexuality, and to discriminate
against people for what they are is wrong.  Allowing gay marriage is no where
near the catastrophe being posited.

My motivation is keeping government out of the private
lives of consenting adults, while granting every American
the full complement of citizenship and its responsibilities.
