Ake:   "Committed, monogamous, homosexual, 'married' couples, are about as common as hens teeth!"

A lie. When the same-sex marriage law went into effect in California, some 18,000 same-sex couples got married right off the bat. Then the out-of-state religious fanatics poured a ton of money into a political campaign and passed Proposition 8, rescinding the law.

And before you get started, the "will of the majority" in a matter of human rights is irrelevent. That Prop 8 was passed by the voters is an example of the majority bullying a minority, which is why any viable democracy has to be regulated by a constitution. A lynch-mob is a "pure" form of democracy. The Athenians figured this one out over 2,000 years ago. Prop 8 IS unconstitutional.

Every place that same-sex marriage has been legalized, there has been a flood of same-sex marriages.

Ake, you are either lying, or you are ill-informed.

And if you don't like being called (identified as) a homophobe and a bigot, don't be one!

Simple as that!
