It's a civil rights issue alright. Christian's human right under natural law to a free moral conscience and their religious liberty to exercise God's normative morality in their personal lives and religious organizations are being violated by the government on behalf of groups formed around immoral behaviors. That's a civil rights issue and needs to be corrected by the government so that they don't do it anymore.
The homosexual theocracy arising in the U.S. in which homosexual groups have unilateral and full access to all government agencies and the public school system to espouse their immoral beliefs just like a religious organization without any moral counterweight is un-American.
The government was never empowered or intended to be an instrument to purvey immorality upon the American people while simultaneously persecuting all who hold to God's normative morality.
The fact you think this is normal and what the founders intended reveals great ignorance on your part.
If only you had any conception as to how difficult it is to take you seriously under your hyperbolic pretense. Really, if only you knew. It's simply not
possible to engage in constructive dialogue in the presence of loaded language and hyperbole along the lines of "homosexual theocracy." You've consistently come across as an apologist espousing reactionary rhetoric that has
no credibility at all in terms of a scholarly consensus, and yet you style yourself as espousing a rational, "scholarly" point of view. While views held by the minority certainly aren't illegitimate, if there's nothing that stands under scrutiny to back those views up, they're moot at best.
How is the US government actually, legitimately persecuting its (Christian) religious demographic? Why haven't the vast majority of well-established political commentators, political scientists concerned with public law, the vast majority of legislators and judges, and the actual, legitimate scholarly consensus in general picked up on this? Is it the result of a conspiratorial plot of some sort, or perhaps the declining moral fabric of our nation? Or, is it simply that you might just be exaggerating a little while choosing to selectively ignore the very real persecution that minorities face -- and have faced -- in America since the nation's inception?
We're a nation of nearly 320 million people, dozens of major governments, and thousands of smaller governing entities (municipalities and school districts, for instance) within the context of a generally multicultural, pluralistic society in which voters, legislators, and judges aren't required to adhere to
your moral code, and yet in light of this staggering diversity and complexity, you profess isolated incidents, different policies and legal decisions within the context of the era that legal experts approve as being within constitutional boundaries, and the general lack of a universally accepted moral view mirroring that of your ideal social infrastructure as evidence of some sort of systematic, widespread persecution that's suppressing your religious liberties.
And yet -- remarkably -- you're one of the fortunate few to see this supposed corruption for what it is.
If you have a case to make, I'm going to have to ask you to take it to a live chat medium of some sort. I'll happily argue with you via a private chat window or microphone / webcam, but I'm not going to continue sifting through exhaustive gish gallops and material sourced directly from an apologist's biased site dedicated to supplying new twists to outmoded, tired arguments that no longer carry a widely-accepted legal, political, or philosophical consensus. I really don't have the patience or the energy.
