If I was gay, I would not give the slightest fuck whatsoever about your ancient, antiquated, fundamentalist religious fanatic notion of marriage. A piece of paper tying me down to sex with just one person would not benefit me. It would only be an obstruction of the how I want to live my life, do what I want to do, with whoever i want to do it with, whenever I want to do it.

However, if I could take what you've always held sacred, and twist it around to serve my lifestyle. And put it in the face of religious fundamentalists, by forcing them to participate in it.... now THAT would make the idea of marriage interesting to me. If marriage is something I could use as a stepping stone to force fundamentalists to participate in my lifestyle, then all the sudden I would be gung-ho AF about marriage. I'm not interested in some fucking gay people making my gay wedding cake. I want fundamentalists Aaron and Melissa Klein making it. Even if I have to force them to do it.

But even then, forcing participation would only interesting to an extent. If forcing participation could in itself simply be another stepping stone to force fundamentalists to partake in my lifestyle, that would be extremely interesting to me. Because now I've basically destroyed who that person was, destroyed their lifestyle, destroyed their entire history. Religious fundamentalist fanatics can't really pride themselves on being religious fundamentalist fanatics anymore if they're partaking in the gay lifestyle.

And so, when all is said and done, I've successfully destroyed who they thought they were, and assimilated them into my lifestyle. And LOL it all started with taking one of their silly antiquated traditions and twisting it around to serve my lifestyle.

Its not going to be over when those people get their damn cake. Just like it wasn't over when the supreme court ruled that gay marriage was legal. It'll just be another stepping stone for the next stepping stone. Not saying its right, not saying its wrong. Its just what's actually being played out here, in my opinion.
