"Everywhere gay marriage has been introduced it has battered freedom"
Gay marriage and the death of freedom » The Spectator In the words of the author Damon Linker, a supporter of gay marriage,
Americans who raise even a peep of criticism of gay marriage face ‘ostracism from public life’. We saw this with the medieval hounding of Brendan Eich out of his job at Mozilla after it was revealed that — oh, the humanity! — he isn’t a massive fan of gays getting married. Linker says the gay-marriage brigade has created a menacing climate, where the aim seems to be to ‘stamp out rival visions’. Americans who fail to bow at the altar of same-sex hitching, from wedding photographers to cake-makers, are harassed and boycotted and sometimes put out of business. The ‘freedom to marry’ clearly trumps the freedom of conscience.
Consider Britain. One of the first things gay campaigners here did when they won the right to marry was demand Catholic schools be forced to teach that gay marriage is as good as straight; even though they don’t believe this. Screw you, freedom of religion. Perhaps Catholic schools should bring back ‘priest holes’ to discuss their beliefs free from the watchful stare of the gay-marriage lobby, which, in Linker’s words, demands ‘psychological acceptance’ of gay marriage from all.

Yes, but that's not a flaw, its a feature.

Open season is the cure for most societal ills.
Unfortunately there are more gashes than pipes.

Gay marriage is just that: gay marriage. It should be called gay marriage to distinguish it from real marriage. Just like trans-genders are not real men/women: they are transgendered. Call them what they are, not what they profess to be.

They're not transgendered. They're transmogrified. Mutilated if you prefer that term.
Regardless of what the knife did, they still have the XY chromosomal arrangement. You can bet those genes produce an urge that cannot be filled. All they can do is leer.
