"Guess i hit a nerve."

You give yourself too much credit. Uncalled for personal attacks are rude and childish. If there were any basis in your allegation it might give me pause but you've only dishonored yourself in this case. My nerves are fine.

"why you see gay marriage as a personal threat,..."

You lie obviously when you make such allegations. I don't see gay anything as troublesome to me personally and that includes as a personal threat. I've made that abundantly clear over the course of my posts. People being gay and living their lives according to their wishes is just fine with me. We all come and go and cross each other's paths, so I wish them all happiness so that our encounters are all the more pleasant. I can think of no reason to view things differently.

" why you need to attack their motives for wanting to be married,

Wrong again. I haven't attacked their motives for wanting to live as they please. I have said that resentment toward traditional heterosexual lifestyle is behind the mania over this term 'Marriage', and that is a fact. The term does not make the union different for anyone, it does identify the heterosexual union and that bothers some people a lot. Some people get real up and excited that such a distinction exists. It exists whether there is a label or not. Some just jump on any popular political left wing talking points and make fools of them selves ranting raving and raging on the internet. I don't particularly care what their/your motives are.

I suspect you worry about being seen as a loser and that committing personal attacks feels like a victory to you especially when you know me well enough to know I'm not likely to respond in kind ... it's not a victory, it is personal failure. Surely you know that at some level. Maybe that's why you try to paint it as something else. tsk

"why you denigrate their decency

I have not, you are making it up, probably because it makes you feel righteous some how. You have made several hateful and mean spirited allegations against me, which are entirely without substance. Probably so you can feel justified in your childish name calling.
