Well. Glad you've joined the majority of Americans who support gay marriage.But the agenda of the minority should dictate the rights of the majority ?
Those two sentences are contradictory. It's clearly more than just Western culture, in fact, it is- as has been rightly pointed out- an eye-watering majority of human history and civilizations.Only in Western culture.
European colonization and Christianity/Islam are the primary culprits of the rejection of LGBT people.

1.)But the agenda of the minority should dictate the rights of the majority ?
2.) No one is depriving them of their rights.
3.) Its not about equal treatment, this is about activism.
4.)Attacking the traditional definition of marriage.
5.) tradition or a standard that wasn't voted on. It arose out of a natural process of societal evolution.
6.) It transcended religion and culture as different groups of peoppe alver the world accepted and agreed upon the fundamental definition of what a marriage is.
7.) Now that definition is being challenged in the name of equal rights.
8.) But if your attacked and ostracized for your opinion, an opinion that contradicts theirs, how are your equal rights being protected ?
9.)Its their way or the High way. Thats not equal rights.
10.)Thats a dictatorship.

ority of American support gay marriage. You're in a tiny minority.
I don't think you can disagree with facts unfortunately.I disagree, but I've got to run to the gym.

At least I'll live to see Western culture completely reverse itself and spearhead the removal of the bans on gay marriage / widespread acceptance of LGBT people.
Only in Western culture.
Most non-Western culture celebrated homosexuality and gender minorities. India, Japan and SE Asia have long traditions of accepting not only towards LGBT people, but people of third and fourth genders. The Bugis people in Indonesia (pop. ~5 million) have five genders. Had you been born in the pre-Colombian America and been gay, you'd have your own god that you worshiped or be considered a two-spirit. Take a look at the map, to get an idea of the widespread rejection of "male-female" only.

What rights of yours go away due to legal SSM?
Ehh, the Romans were the epitome of Western culture I believe (since they encompassed almost the entire western world at one point and influenced all peoples that would later become the French, Germans, etc.). And the Romans were as open as open gets, homosexuality? Take it a step further and have old guys screwing young boys legally and in some cases encouraged to do so.

Ehh, hell it was a way to determine social status too I guess. Anything and everything was legal in Rome, and Ancient Rome is like I said the epitome of Western Civilization and ultimately, western culture.

How about being labeled a Bigot and a Hater because I believe the proper definition of Marriage is between a Man and Woman.
How about those who claim to have their agenda justified on the basis of "equal rights" purposely ignoring and attacking the rights of those who may disagree with them.
My problem with Gay marriage has always been a issue of a activist minority getting to redefine a age old definition thats transcended Culture, religion and race.
And they're method of forcing their agenda on the rest of America.

I believe so. I'll let you decide though.

Which has nothing to do with the rights of consenting adults to marry.
I never could really understand that obsession of throwing these red herrings into these debates about Gay Marriage.
Every single minority group in the history of mankind has had to fight for their rights. The Lgbt community has been fighting for little over half a century now and we are still making very small gains globally. Capital punishment for simply being homosexual is still enforced even in the year 2014. Louisiana, though they can never enforce it, still ban same sex intercourse. There are other states like it. This is the lgbt's fight though and we are fighting for OUR equality.
If you want to have sex with your daughter or your son or your brother and uncle and mother and grandma and marry them, and you want the right recognized then start campaigning like everyone else has to.
You want to the right to marry your pet hamster. Prove to the courts that an animal can consent. You want polygamy. Prove to the courts that such marriages are economically sustainable on a wide a scale.
That's their fight, not the lgbt community's. So asking gay men and women "Well what about them, do you think they deserve rights?" Why does it matter what our opinion is? People don't think gay men and women deserve equal rights and we still our fighting regardless, because the majority should not be allowed to oppress the minority.
The lgbt has scientific data backing them. Convincing arguments are persuading the public and the law. That's how these things work.
Fascinating. But I have no idea why you posted it to me. I'm not opposed to gay marriage. I'm not opposed to any marriage.
You have, on number of occasion, inquired about the rights of incest couples and polygamist. I don't understand why you do. The gay community's opinion on those issues do no matter. If those people want to be recognized they need to follow the path every other minority has walked to gain rights.
I'll say this though. Incest will be hard to argue. It has many variables that make it hard to tolerate on a scientific level. Not to mention that the dynamic begs the question was one of the partners conditioned into accepting this relationship or is it truly of their own consent.
