Well right, its going to be phased out as the generations march on, but thats not what we're discussing. Theres still a solid segment of the population that "just doesn't prefer it, just thinks its not right."
They tack on "children" to make it sound like something we need to move against (another reason that video ruins the cause) and they vote from there. The point is, its a serious issue. As an American, you ought to believe that two consenting people have the right to do whatever they want so long as it doesn't trample on other peoples rights.
On that founding principle alone we're a virtuous nation. Its why people still come here despite all other ills. its not something to trivialize because you don't understand the opposition, and its not something to take for granted.
As I said, we have these laws for when things are difficult, for when a group is oppressed. Not for when its easy and we all agree on it.
