There is a difference between two men loving each other and a porn store next to a school.Why the heck shouldn't he be concerned with what others do in society? As a member of the same society it's quite logical to be concerned with what others are doing in society because their actions have reprocussions past themselves. No man is an island. No man stands alone.
The issue at hand is how much should the government intervene in the lives of people and how much should we try to influence others through persuasion alone.
Unless of course, you are a heartless bastard who doesn't at all care about their fellow human being. But why would anyone want to voluntarily be that kind of person?
You evidently have never been in the city. Let alone 8th avenue. There is an entire row of porn shops on that one street and several schools around the area.
What exactly is the difference, you don't like it? Property rights are absolute. Individual rights are absolute. Gay rights, or any other rights, are not. Everyone has individual rights. You don't obtain special rights simply for being a particular race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
Then why did the federal government bestow special rights on heterosexuals? The federal government showers lots and lots and lots of gifts on married heteros.
It sure does look to me like we heteros obtained all kinds of special rights simply for being straight.
