I would be okay with more Puritan laws governing morality, but our society isn’t ready to jail or even fine those who are having sex outside of marriage.

I on the other hand feel that the state should have no business at all butting into any religion's practices, doctrines, dogma, philosophy, or teachings, short of human or animal sacrifices.

This countries slide has resulted in an attempt to force Catholic Hospitals in Califorincation to perform abortions.

Many of us have been saying for years that if homosexuals got their agenda then it opens the door for all the same arguments they use .

I had a lesbian friend ask me why I opposed same sex marriage? I asked her if it was okay for Bob across the street to marry his German shepherd, or Jerry down the road to marry his 12 year old niece? Could that guy that fixed myb lawn mower marry his John Deere riding lawn mower?

I told her we all draw the line somewhere I just chose a different location than her.

Usually those kind of conversations end up in you are this or that. You know the usual name calling.
It’s not the case though, most don’t care what you do in the bedroom but to tell us that you should be married, raise kids, teach it in the schools as if it were good, and healthy. Then have parades or the likes of folsom fair, or even have now hate laws is what pushes most away from their agenda , and in many cases them.

Why is this "homosexual agenda"?

As Mark Steyn once pointed out, polygamy has a much larger constituency than "gay marriage". And he wasn't talking about Mormon splinter sects.
