How is gay marriage elevating homosexual behavior ABOVE other, comparable, behavior types such as that of the heterosexual?
That would be equality, not superiority.
And let's note, your analogies to drug users, flashers, pedophiles and serial killers are purely illogical. Homosexuals do not harm other people due to being homosexual, the others to which you attempt a comparison expressly do that (though in the case of drug users, not really - which is a good portion of why you see such a strong movement for the legalization of drugs, but that's another topic). So it might be "bigotted" to be anti-serial killer, but there is an actual logic to that "bigotry". Whereas, the anti-gay marriage bigotry (which you encourage and partake in) has no similar logic. I might as well compare anything and everything that I dislike to a serial killer and claim a form of moral justification - it doesn't make any sense, but you'd like to think it does.
And I'm not sure how you've been able to deal with this glaring contradiction in your stated philosophy:

You start it, ill sign it in a second. Those couples shouldn't be subsidized any more than gay couples. |
On the one hand, you're in opposition to redefining marriage and on the other, you're eagerly waiting to sign a petition of redefinition.
