This is a moderate position, one that tries to imperfectly, but sincerely address the issues presented by both sides.
Unfortunately, in today's win all, lose nothing political mentality, moderation is increasingly being seen in the precisely the way you just described my position. Inherently unfair, or even unjust.

Don't play the victim card so quickly, it'll be ok. It seems you think a moderate religious viewpoint is a moderate viewpoint for everyone.
In an increasingly secular society clinging on to antiquated ideas about marriage is what is moving conservatives away from moderates, not towards it. But this does help to explain why you present things as you do.
As for your last bit go ahead and crawl down off your cross. I tried asking you if you meant something else. What was inherently unfair or unjust about how your quick little argument was was interpreted?
