I don't mind having a glass of wine with dinner... most of my Pentecostal buddies believe in total abstinence from alcohol... how does that strip them of justice?
I'm not a "victim" if my neighbor buys a Playboy magazine. Get real. lol

None of these examples is really applicable. Women are not licensed to wear pants, they just put them on. The same applies with each example. People are free to do these things whether you or I approve of it or not. And, gays are free to shack up or hook up and even file for benefits from just about every employer in America.
However, a marriage license is regulated according to the laws of the several states. It has been demonstrated repeatedly - again and again - that the vast majority of Americans in every state do not wish to allow the issuance of marriage licenses to "gay" couples.

HEY!
(I'm okay... I'm cool)
The only victimization involved is that a license is issued for something that the vast majority of Americans have expressed a desire to regulate.
How are "gays" victimized by not being issued a marriage license?

Then you'll notice that they tapered off and that most ended in nasty "gay divorces." Society will view them as tenuous at best an all their "promises" of happiness will be revealed for the failure that it is. In the wake of that mess we can point to the Gospel and say, "Look, marriage didn't solve your problem. Equal rights didn't solve your problem. Your answer is Jesus Christ." Let sin run it's course and the truth will be even more obvious. Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds.

Yes, and parking on my lawn won't solve my neighbor's problems; but I'm not willing to wait until he finds salvation to get that 4x4 outta there. We have codes in our society that people are expected to follow so that we can all get along the best we can.
I really don't need to see Ellen and others go through a bunch of public pain and humiliation just so that I can say, "I told you so."
