5. You're right on. There are basically four groups.

May 2012

1) Gay people, about 10%. They are very concerned with it.
2) People like me, who have friends in, and are strong supports of the LBGT community, but are more or less strait (give or take a night or two) But are strong supports of their rights. Maybe 12%
3) Completely strait people, who really DO NOT CARE about what law abiding gay people are doing in their own homes. They are concerned with their families, the economy, and the real issues affecting America right now. Some of them don't practice homosexuality for religious reasons, but they are like Hindus who don't eat meat in India - they don't think forced vegetarianism is what the government should be pouring their money into when it has huge issues, they care about substantial problems. About 75%.
4) The 3% of "strait" people who spend all their time obsessing on what homosexuals are doing, setting up camps to "cure" them, and preaching to huge crowds about their beliefs on homosexuality they just can't stop thinking about:



edit add on: What its about in the end is tyranny. What is the actual mechanism of enforcement that the 4th group proposes? A camera in every bedroom so "wholesome" government workers, like the TSA can make sure chuck and Buck aren't consummating their love like a married couple? That 75% are wise to see the shell game, and to be focusing on and demanding results on real issues. And those Christians concerned about having their rights abridged as far as their churches right to define marriage on its own terms? To them I remind: You guys lived in an empire with total world control the fed you to lions, and you prevailed. You think the church is threatened by this? Open your Bibles to Psalm 46:10, sit down and pray on it, and chill out.
