You have a right to your opinion, but they also have a right to express their opinions on your opinion. I don't see what's unfair about that.
Try to put yourself in others' shoes. To supporters of same-sex marriage, you're essentially saying, "Well, I don't think black people and white people should marry" or "You know, women really shouldn't get the vote." The opinions you express -- and I agree, you have a right to them -- are shockingly backward to people who believe that love really should conquer all and that same-sex couples should have access to the same 1,000+ legal and financial benefits that hetero married couples enjoy.
You don't like it. I get that. What I don't get is what you feel you accomplish by sharing that sentiment. I don't really like it when I see a smart person dating an idiot, but it isn't my place to tell that other person who he or she can date or marry. Why do people need to know your opinion on same-sex marriage? I can see mentioning it in passing, but it sounds like you went out of your way to post a question relating to same-sex marriage and how much you didn't like it.
I don't go around talking about how much I dislike lemon cookies unless someone offers me one. If a gay guy proposes to you, you have every right to turn him down just like I do with those cookies. Otherwise, no one who doesn't know you personally really cares whether you're against gay marriage.
The point is that gays were oppressed in many countries and still are. Do you know why they call gays "faggots"? Because back in the day, you were burned on a bundle of sticks called a faggot if you were gay.
People compare the two because it's basically the same thing. Discrimination is discrimination, no two ways about it.
I'm sorry I don't find it the same thing at all! We will just have to disagree.
I'll never compare being gay to be black. Absolutely just can't at all.
Love to see a white gay guy and black girl in apartheid times and see who gets preferential treatment. I'm from South Africa , still feel it. Can't compare gayness to blackness just cannot!
Is it normal for me to hate these people?

I hate it when people compare homosexuality to Race!
I don't remember gays being slaves for over 100 years cause they were gay? Gays can hide being gay! I'm Black I can't HIDE it at all!

They're not just comparing "gayness" to "blackness", they're comparing how both were oppressed and treated horribly by society. But whatever.
