LEt me add this:

I have never faulted Ake for seeking a traditional-marriage culture, and the correct source of that tradition is a church; he does not have the right to require others to comply with his nostalgia or his cultural bent as a legal matter. Of course it is understandable, just as it is understandable to prefer Mom and Pop neighborhood stores to Walmart, or to prefer all-white small schoolhouses where one kindly schoolmarm teaches five grades, or to prefer a world where penny candy still costs a penny, and where Christmas still evokes fantasies about flying saints.

Preferring it, or yearning for it, does not make it legally right or fair. Hungering for injustice that is favorable to oneself is not hard to "understand" but it is hard to condone, and should be abjured as public policy.

The bias for these things may not qualify as bigotry, but it comes very close, to the point where it is a semantic quibble of a distinction.

It would be pleasant (by some rose-tinted standards) if we all lived in a world where homosexuality had never come out of the closet and could be suppressed by "normalcy" the way it once was. Mayberry may be pleasant but it is not honest, just or truthful.
