DADT is ended. The DOJ is NOT defending DOMA. Gays can visit their families in the hospital. We get Family Leave if we work for the Federal Government. Those aren't promises but ACTIONS. There is a clear distinction between the two candidates for the LGBT voter.
As far as the marriage act most republicans have a problem with it because marriage is a religious thing. It has nothing to do with gays in general. The fix would either for the government to stop recognizing marriage all together and leave that to the privacy of individuals or to change the marriage term to unions. Make everyone unions under the government instead of marriage.
My company allows for unions for some things not just for gays but even those of us that dont want to get married. But it is a battle for all and it will be won slowly. But trying to use government to force the issue is not the answer. When government gets into the business of forcing things can go wrong.
When you want the government to do things for you then you are asking government to force it on everyone else. Sure it is what you want but it is still taking someone elses freedom away. People used to use the government to try and force gays to not be gay. Society was able to eventually end that but now gays want government to force everyone to accept them. Who is wrong here?
Giving all people the SAME EXACT rights is not "forcing" anything on you.
Im sorry but it is being forced whether you want to call it force or not it is indeed by force. There are those that believe being gay is a sin whether or not you want to agree with that view or not. So you are saying that they should be forced to believe it is not a sin. You want them to be forced to recognize you as being able to get married even though their beliefs is that it is a sin. So yes it is by force.
Why do you want the right to be married?
