How is MANDATING - ie. having the government tell you what you must do (accept homosexuals even if it's against your personal or religious believe, much like Catholic hospitals being forced to provide 'reproductive services' for women. ie. Obammacare)
Forcing you to accept? It's really none of your business who people marry so how is that being force to accept them? Not being able to force your views on other people is
not a denial of your religious freedom. There isn't even federal law to prohibit employers from discriminating against people based on their sexuality, so save it.
Keeping the .gov out of our personal life, if that was true, the Supreme court would have ither said, the Feds have NO part in the marriage business, but that's not what they said.
I agree. The federal government shouldn't be in the marriage business to begin with but so long as it is it must be applied fairly. The first amendment prohibits the government from passing law that respect one religion over another so either you believe in the first amendment, or you support DOMA bc of your religion. Can't have it both ways.

Something that is lost, is less than 30% of the revolution SUPPORTED the revolution, and most of those were ambivalent, and there was a comparable faction that supported England.
What does that have to do with anything? The bill of rights is specifically there to protect the minority from the majority to begin with. And at what point in the revolution are you referring to because the level of support changed over time.
What you face in the Anti gunners is a VERY vocal minority, and a HUGE gulf of non gun owners, who really don't care, nor do they think about what gun control means because it DOESN'T"T AFFECT THEM so they frankly don't care, they will vote for it because someone says it makes them safer.
What is your definition of "Anti gunner"? Yeah, it's a very small minority of americans who believe in an outright ban on guns but tons support additional restrictions. The link below demonstrates this clearly:
http://www.pollingreport.com/guns.htm
It shows the results of many different polls at many different times and there is no question that more than a small minority of americans have supported some form of further gun control in recent time.
Writing them off "as don't care" is awfully convenient but the fact is many americans have openly supported gun control.
