No agenda. Of course not.

I am concerned with the camel's nose in the tent argument. 

In my lifetime I have watched as... 
• The gay-rights advocates begged for nothing more than to be left alone to live their lives in peace. 
• They progressed to asking for tolerance and understanding. 
• The moved from asking for tolerance to demanding acceptance and respect. 
• Acceptance proved to be insufficient, and they moved forward to demanding total equality. 
• Along with that equality, they moved to demanding legal protections. 
• Given legal protections, they started to demand that their lifestyle and relationships be treated as the same as, and morally equivalent to heterosexual, traditional marriage. 
• And -- today -- the Christian owner of eHarmony.com, who started a company to serve as a Christian match-making service was forced to capitulate to the demands and lawsuits of homosexuals claiming discrimination by initiating a gay-match equivalent to eHarmony, even though it violates the owner's deeply held religious beliefs. I remain unconvinced that allowing gay marriages will have little or no impact upon the church, as is claimed.

But, we are assured that there's no gay agenda. Of course not.
