I wasn't referring specifically to the actions of gay couples -- I was
referring to the fact that we can (as a society) "discriminate" against
people's *actions* as opposed to their appearance. This
"discrimination" is called the "law."

.... and there once were laws against the =action= of blacks sitting in
the front of the bus. Laws are made by people. They are mutable. Many
laws are Bad Laws, and should be changed.

Anyway, just what "actions of gay couples" are you referring to?

Now, if you do your nose picking (and eating) in the privacy of your
own home...

So far I'm with you, but you are about to use faith based reasoning
again. Having blue eyes and picking your nose in public are not
mutually exclusive.

Suppose.... blue eyed people pick their nose too but with their left
hand. Should they be denied entrance to the restaurant? Only if they
do it in public. Suppose brown eyed people pick their nose in private,
but with their right hand, should they be allowed into the restaurant?
Of course they should.

What is happening however is that people realized that blue eyed people
pick their nose with the left hand (that's ok) and brown eyed people
pick their nose with their right hand. So it is against the law for
brown eyed people to go to the restaurant.

But when you announce to the non-nose-picking world that snot-eaters
should be given equal rights with blue-eyed restaurant patrons...

This is the wall of societal norms that homosexual couples face.

Actually, the wall that they face is the presumption in people's minds
that gays are trying to legalize public gay fornication. Your "silly
example" shows that this is your perception, but that just isn't the way
it is. They just want the same legal rights (and no more) as straight
people.

What are the Bad Things you are afraid of?
Nothing. Where's the argument? Back to flying!

Then why do you so =strenuously= object to letting gay people get
married? If there is no harm, why not let them and move on?
