Might I offer a suggestion: The only reason this is a left/right issue is because people frame it that way. It isn't. This is a basic human rights, equal protection, taxation issue - nothing more. You will go much further in swaying people to support the rights of all by taking it out of the left/right fight. If one wants to advance a just cause, perhaps we should all avoid divisive language. I understand there is a trend in the issue, but perhaps that's just because we perpetuate the rubber stamping as left/right.
I'm a Christian who believes homosexuality is sinful. However, I have marched in dozens of "Support Gay Marriage" parades/events. My personal view has zero to do with the fact that the federal government does not get to define love or unfairly tax you because of who you love.
