People's bedrooms don't have anything to do with it. Not being married doesn't keep them from doing anything they want in their bedrooms. It keeps them from the legal rights accorded to people doing other stuff in their bedrooms. Only you would care. On the contrary, its your side that is most concerned with what they do in their bedrooms. You're outraged that everyone else isn't as positive about it as you are. Whatever it is they do in the bedroom, it has nothing to do with whether they s/b married. And whether they are married or not does nothing to keep them from doing anything in their bedroom they want. It is your side that is arguing on the basis of your personal concepts of sexual morality (that everything people want to do is moral) and demanding that everyone else accept them. As I've said before: Hurling insults, calling names - racist, bigot, homophobe - is what liberal argumentation amounts to mostly. Note its the liberal side saying adopt my position or you're an evil person. Its them that are demanding everyone else adopt their ideas of morality (or immorality). The people on the conservative side of the gay marriage issue talk about social traditions going back thousands of years, the implications on religious institutions (gay marriage will be and has been used as a weapon to stigmatize and isolate religious institutions), the implications involving other novel forms of marriage (polygamy, group marriage, incest), the differences between male-female couples vs same sex couples in behavior, the possiblity of gay couples to get most or all the positives of marriage via civil unions or contractual arrangements, etc - iow one side makes arguments. The other side calls names.
