Can they get married everywhere in America? Can they be fired simply because they are homosexual? Can they get jobs in schools? Can a Lesbian be a Den Mother?What rights are they denied? They are getting married, they are getting jobs, what else?I pray we are doing our level best. So why deny Gays the exact same rights you and I enjoy? What makes them such an easy punching bag?Are we doing it?You must not think that much about our nation if you believe we cannot fix roads, educate our children, defend our shores, solve poverty and yet not extend equal rights to every citizen.I don't want to exclude anyone from their civil rights.Why has it become socially acceptable to regard Christians as bigots for standing up for their faith? Why can't the advocates, activists and backers of LGBT rights measure themselves by their own standards?
That said, why should I even know if a person is gay or not?
Isn't that a private matter?
What we have in this whole "gay" thing is a diversion from the real problems of the country.
"Gay rights" won't fix roads, educate out dumbass kids, defend the nation, solve the issue of multi-generational poverty and dependence, or fix the issue of corruption in government.
Of course, that is exactly why it is the focus of media and governmental attention.

Why is it so easy for you to dismiss equal treatment under law as a mere diversion?
I can't speak for you, but equal rights in a nation that bills itself as the "Land of the Free" is a lie unless all its citizens who have not committed crimes are not free. That's my political priority. Not candidates or incumbents and how much we either hate or adore them. That's just silly for a thinking person to be involved with. If you truly cherish your citizenship you should jealously advocate for equality.
Because if some of us are free while others are not, none of us is truly free.
