This isn't about human rights, it's about enforcing a code of bourgeois morality. It's okay to be gay, as long as you are monogamous and live in a house with a white picket fence. People who support it should think about how monolithic and "the same" our communities are becoming through the intervention of the State.
Could be.

But I disagree with the idea of the government deciding exactly that for its citizens. People need to be personally responsible for their own lives.
