As I've said before, this is a part of my political dilemma.

I fully support gay rights (which the Republicans do not) while I fully support gun rights (which the Democrats do not).
you're over-simplifying the issue.

i fully support gay rights, but i do not support the redefinition of the institution of marriage. it isn't a "right" for two people of the same sex to be married. heck, it isn't even lawful. lumping support of gay-rights and support of gay-marriage is, i believe, an imprecise way of discussing this issue.
