Gays will probably have to wait for the next generation to become old enough to vote. Younger voters are less religious.
Underlying the reasons people are againts it is 1) their religion says it's wrong 2) tradition 3) irrational belief that it's a choice
Some like to put forth dubious arguments that pedophilia is any way comparable when any reasonable person knows this is ridiculous. The mistaken belief that it's a choice also leads people to think that if it's legal, straight people are somehow going to start living gay lifestyles. Again, ridiculous. There have and willl always be a very small number of people that experiment with their sexuality to that degree, but it'll never become widespread.
I'm a heterosexual male. I was born this way. I've always liked the opposite sex. As a normal male, the thought of actually engaging in sexual behavior with another male elicits a violent visceral reaction in me. It disgusts me, therefore I would never engage in that behavior. Yet I understand that others are born that way and I couldn't care less what they do with their partners.
Then you have bisexuals.
Live and let live, I say.
