There's also this thing called separation between church and state. Keep your religious sentimentalities under your own roof.

on Equal Protection for Sexual Minorities?
Marriage is a religious institution, not a scientific one, so your argument falls flat by mixing the two polar opposites. And what about overpopulation? Based on your argument, humans will kill themselves off and take the rest of the the planet with it due to overbreeding and overpopulation.

on Equal Protection for Sexual Minorities?
Matona (above) has hit the nail on the head! We absolutely need to start in our schools. Education is the forefront of any progress or movement. If homosexuality remains taboo, it is tantamount to demonization because children pick up on what is supposedly "normal" based on what is validated by their peers and mentors. When is it ever mentioned that same-sex or non-heteronormative lifestyles are okay? Children in today's world (and through most of our history) have never been given a reason to see queer people as anything other than abnormal. The silencing of Seth Stanbaugh, a potential mentor, is further perpetuation of the oppression of non-hetero individuals.
