SAME-SEX MARRIAGE:
Answering the Toughest Questions
Strong majorities of Americans oppose gay marriage. Supporters of SSM therefore seek to change the subject to just about anything: discrimination, benefits, homosexuality, gay rights, federalism, our sacred constitution.
Our goal is simple: Shift the conversation rapidly back to marriage. Don’t get sidetracked. Marriage is the issue. Marriage is what we care about. Marriage really matters. It’s just common sense.
I. THE MOST EFFECTIVE SINGLE SENTENCE:
Extensive and repeated polling agrees that the single most effective message is:
"Gays and Lesbians have a right to live as they choose,
they don’t have the right to redefine marriage for all of us." This allows people to express support for tolerance while opposing gay marriage. Some modify it to “People have a right to live as they choose, they don’t have the right to redefine marriage for all of us.” Language to avoid at all costs: "Ban same-sex marriage."

Here in NY City I have seen some homo couples with their adopted children. Its the most sickest twisted thing I have every seen. The real victims are the children who are going to grow up without a Mom listening to their two fathers sodomizing one another at night. 
There is a special place in hell for the people who have legalized this!
Problem:People do not have the right to live as they choose rather they can choose how they live. Read Pope Leo XIII's Libertas Praestantissimum. He makes it clear that error and sin have no rights! God sometimes intervenes to strike against evil and at other times tolerates our imperfections,errors and sins.

A Catholic version of that phrase would be:People can choose how they live, but they have no right to redefine marriage for all of us.
For we know that people can choose evil but they have no right to choose evil!
