Gay rights supporters waving rainbow colors marched, chanted, and danced in cities coast to coast Saturday to protest the vote that banned gay marriage in California and to urge supporters not to quit the fight for the right to wed.

As one of the foremost definitions of the word—rights—must be the acknowledgment:
Inherent with rights exists a responsibility of conscience and respect. One must come to the realization that whatever right they think they have must be morally justified and correct, or consistent with generally held ideas of morality and proper conduct within the society.
One matter remains evident: somehow and for some reason protesters and advocates of gay rights are not seeing the entire picture.
All things being equal, the medium these groups are utilizing to voice opinions are certainly in accordance with the U.S. Constitution and no one is criticizing that practice. In fact, it is believed the only reason they're being heard is because of that portion of learned consideration.
However although momentum may seem to be gaining there is such a notion as driving a point so hard that the very point may be lost. One might be asking by now, '…what's the problem?'
Clearly the problem is lack of cohesive leadership, an organizational approach, a clearly defined objective based on what it is that you or a group of people may want. Furthermore, just because a person or group wants something, does not make it a 'right.'
The problematic position the LGBT advocates have is that it is not clearly defined what precisely they want. First, they want to be able to get married. Okay so what's the big deal?
Second, they don't want the word marriage construed as a union between a man and a woman; or, certainly ordained by God. Third, other such domestic partnerships, civil unions, or any other idiom will never be acceptable because it's not the same as marriage or matrimony.
NEWS FLASH for today is for the people who are trying to change the language, the institution of marriage, and literally pushing their ways regardless of the moral justification of the norm, due process of law, and the electoral process, are in fact, different themselves and that difference is by choice.
