re: #8 It’s a cookbook!

My 2 bits: the mindset we’re analyzing thinks that homosexuality is a problem that needs to be fixed. Gays need to hate themselves. Then they can stop being so gay, or something…

Gay marriage helps make homosexuality more acceptable, and I think that see that as the real problem. They see the stigma being attached to homosexuality fading away bit by bit, and they needs it. Their precious.

That’s generally been my impression, that they still believe that homosexuality is a mental illness, if not a moral perversion, that can be “cured” if society wishes it to be so. That it’s already bad enough that the old stigmas towards homosexuality are gone, but would be even worse if homosexuality and homosexual couples were treated as no different than their heterosexual counterparts. That marriage, being a “sacred institution,” would be meaningless if the applied to behavior that they consider a sin in the eyes of God.
