Exactly. I think it is all a plow for political power, when it comes to any topic or belief these ass holes, on either side, are standing up for. Are people so bored/ depressed/ sad/ hatefilled/ whatever that they can't just live and let live? I always thought that the great thing about our country was that anybody could believe anything they wanted without worrying about someone who disagrees with them lobbying or scheming against them.
