>>Civil rights was not a political agenda anymore than protecting the traditional family is a political agenda. They are both deep moral values.<<

Michael -

Asserting that homosexuals should have the same civil rights as everyone else is, therefore, simply expressing a deep moral value.

Asserting that people who would deny civil rights to others are "entitled to their beliefs," is like saying that people who didn't think black and white people should be allowed to intermarry were entitled to theirs. It's true, in a way, but it isn't a valid political argument. People are entitled to believe what they want to believe, but they aren't entitled to enshrine their beliefs in laws that deny civil rights to others.
