PD they choose their civil rights by choosing to want to marry the same sex. If there is no societal norms, then there will be chaos. Where do we stop extending these "civil rights"? Should Mormons be able to have 10 wives? What about if someone wanted to marry a 12 year old? Farm animals?
And this is just dealing with marriage. What about everyone else's "rights".
It is funny how libs are. The 2nd Amendment clearly states the right to bear arms ( and there is tons of supporting material from our founders that explains this) yet they want to outlaw people possessing firearms. Yet liberal judges find all kinds of rights in the Constitution for abortion and now gay marriage.... Interesting how that works.

It's funny how reactionaries are. When in doubt, bring up guns.
Mikey, guns, farm animals and 12 year olds aren't a part of this discussion.
The question about Mormons is an interesting and relevant one - not sure how I feel about that. Gotta give credit where credit is due - you actually put a real point in there.
I'm still waiting for some fucking reason (beyond bigotry and superstition) that extending marital priveldges to same-sex couples will somehow lead to the chaos of "no societal norms."
The same arguement was applied to giving women the vote and own property. The same arguement was applied to extending full rights of citizenship to people of
color.
Whether you like it or not, societal norms change. I say again - deal with it.
