The Republican party must reframe this issue back to where it belongs. "Marriage Equality" is a smokescreen. Whenever this issue is brought up people must be redirected right back to where it belongs. Sodomy is a deadly proposition - refer them right back to the Federal Govt's CDC website and explain that there is no "equivalent" to male female marriage compared to male to male marriage.
What is being asked of the Republican party is to "validate" a "lifestyle" that without question and is fully documented to cause disease and death. This issue should ALWAYS be redirected back to the CDC website! Men having sex with men IS DEADLY - PERIOD! Don't let them squirm away from where the "objection" to "marriage equality" comes from!
Gay leaders try to make this a fight for rights and against hate, bigotry etc. They never want to mention the fact that the lifestyle is unhealthy and that a responsible society would not promote it.
