I think you have hit upon the reason for much of the acceptance of LGBT rights: The realization that who they are and how they behave is simply none of our damn business. I keep asking those straights who complain about gay marriage how such a marriage affects them, and I have yet to hear a meaningful answer.

Mike's "When your 5yo kid or grandkid comes home and wants to be the other sex and no parent has any say over that decision, think about your comment about how same-sex 'marriage' has had no deleterious effects on society." is out of left field. Does anyone think that a five-year-old is going to say, "Hey, gays can get married. I think I'll have a sex-change operation!"
