And why should gay people be treated as second class citizens? There is nothing immortal about two people being in love no matter what sex they're.
I see nothing wrong with two men or women getting married. Gay people should have the same rights as anyone else. I know women that been together for years and one couple ran a very successful business in my city for years . They lived a very moral life , I know people that are not gay and they live a very immoral life! My ex brother is one of them, he raped my older sister. Heterosexual people can live an immoral lifestyle and think it 'normal'
And just what is 'normal'? God you sound like you are living in the dark ages.
"But they want public acceptance." I am so glad I do not think like you or I would miss out on having a great friend that was gay. We had a blast riding around Boston on his motorcycle and going to parties.
