people should be treated fairly under the law, and this is not treating them fairly

Change may be coming but it will definitely be slower coming across the ocean. Europe for one has a much more relaxed public view of sex in general than America.
I'm just waiting for the KKK or some other hate group to burst on the scene again if this becomes law. Even after women, Hispanics, African Americans and other minorities received equal treatment under Federal law they weren't truly protected for a long time. And to a certain extent they aren't full protected today in some places. If homosexuals demand equal treatment and civil rights protection than well I can see another violent civil rights movement in the future. Maybe it won’t be as extreme as the ones in the past but violent none the less. There are fewer homosexuals then there were woman, blacks, etc. And look at the stuff they had to go through to get where they are today. It’s not just a race of people against another or men against women, its a nation of people against a minority.
Of course maybe I'm just the token pessimist
