You're following the most counter-productive line of reasoning I've ever heard. Rather than coming to the table with a "bigot" - one who has repeatedly emphasized that he thinks there's a solution agreeable to both parties (ie civil unions for all, marriage by religious institutions only) - you've all chosen to pretend his positions don't matter. I mean, wait "for us all to die off"? Really? That's mature.

If you're complaining about my moral arguments on homosexuality, then don't make the moral arguments. I'm quite capable of keeping my personal moral views out of the argument (you'll note I've only mentioned them when attacked). Are you?

No, we're just going to focus our efforts on people who will actually listen.

your "religious institution" has the right to choose to not marry same sex couples. The government should not.

Like I said, replace "gay" or "same sex" with black and see if it sounds reasonable to you.

your "solution" only compromises the rights of gays as equals. And from what I can see (protests in the streets) it is NOT agreeable to both parties.
