I admire your courage, debeda, for defending your values, and attempting to defend the unborn children who are at risk of never drawing their first breath.
It is tragic to meet such hostility today, from fellow Americans, for beliefs that a few decades ago were recognized as common sense and common decency.

That is indeed true of many gays. The fact remains that it is a religious ceremony at its core, designed for one man and one woman to create a family and the next generations. Most gays dont like religion because most religions view homosexuality as an aberration or even an a*********n. Personally, I dont care, except where children are being sexualized and "allowed to pick their g****r", when a child before puberty pretty much doesn't have a clue about all that. Also, I dont believe any American should have special rights, be they gay, black, Hispanic, Asian, women or wh**ever. We're all Americans and should be allowed the same opportunities. No more, no less. Your personal choices might dictate or limit those opportunities, like someone who chooses to be tatted up and pierced, or the woman who thinks miniskirts and low cut dresses are standard attire for all venues, or someone who dyes their hair blue and wears purple lipstick to the office. Because if we want to succeed we need to have standards, and conform to certain norms of business attire and conduct. The left is constantly talking about being offended by words, but consistently offends the average person with their deeds. For instance, despite huge efforts, in Illinois our fearless new democratic governor Pritzker and his democratic state supermajority just passed late term a******n legislation. I am sick about it. Saying that I, and the 10s of thousands of others, who worked against this obscenity are offended is an understatement of cosmic proportions.
