If this is indeed about "rights," then it should be debated vigorously in the public forum. The expectation that there should be no opposition sounds more totalitarian.

Do you feel the same way about interracial marriage? If someone comes out and says that there should be a ban on black people marrying white people, that you are super fine with that? I have an EXPECTATION that we are past the bigoted racism that prevented interracial marriage in the past. The expectation that there would be no opposition isn't because I demand to be right and will not allow any differing opinion... I simply hold out hope that the humanity has come to the point where such discrimination has no place. I am quite often disappointed.
