Being against your own human rights is not normal. You sound like you have deep rooted feelings of homophobia and inferiority to straight people. Perhaps you hold these views because on some level you think that if you put down gay people homophobic straight people will be more accepting of you?
I’ll admit I haven’t read all the comments but you mentioned gay couples having a “back door” to rights as a married couple, suggesting you see being gay as something shameful to be hidden away.
My two cents is that you never got over the homophobia and isolation you faced growing up, you long for conservative heterosexual acceptance and place far too great a value on it, to the point that you are willing to degrade yourself in the hope of winning approval.
Well thanks for assigning motives and assessing my past life, but that was not the point of this post.
I did say in another comment, that I was morally convinced that I was against gay marriage before I knew for sure I was even gay. Then it didn't seem right to shift beliefs based on that.
And in my opinion, I am not homophobic. Being opposed to gay marriage has nothing to do with thinking gays are lesser. As an INDIVIDUAL, gays are not lesser. But AS A COUPLE gays are not nearly as good at raising children because they don't have one of each gender.
Gay but against gay marriage? Iin?
