No amount of married homosexuals could make me desirous of homosexual sex, so just who will be answering the 'join us' cry?
Our country has always valued individual freedoms above much else. When societal norms lined up more closely with our personal beliefs it was more comfortable for us and less comfortable for homosexuals. Now there is a shift that makes us the uncomfortable ones.
To me this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that protecting the rights of the minority has to be valued even when we are in the majority. Because one day that may shift and it will only be an ingrained sense of fairness that keeps us from losing our own liberty.
