Get a majority and your battle will be won. The courts have the right to tell the majority that we can't have what they want, and that is one of the cornerstones of our freedom. An unrestrained majority can be a very dangerous thing. What the homosexuals have to understand... is that they need to fight, not to normalize their lifestyle, but rather to validate it as an acceptable alternative. A hard thing to do when someone's beating on your head. Now that you understand how strong this feeling is with the majority, keep in mind, then understand a goal of normal is just not possible. The majority needs to understand that while their preference may be their preference, they have no reason or right to declare other preferences "abnormal", to declare their own preferences to be "normal" or "superior" simply because they are more widely held, or to constrain the fulfillment of preferences other than theirs - unless fulfillment of those preferences violates somebody's rights. You may not equate "not normal" with "wrong". Others do. When we declare a preference "abnormal" we expose the people holding that preference to direct and indirect persecution. What's wrong with using the word "different", instead of "abnormal"?
