Although I don't support either, I voted Option 1, since it is more consistent with protecting marriage.

I also don’t support either, but Option 2 is more consistent with the goal of using marriage as a tool to ensure that the children born of the two parents in that marriage are well provided for.  In a gay couple, at most one of them can be the parent, it is inherently unable to achieve that.  A lot depends upon what you view the purpose of marriage is.  Is it for the partners or for the children?

It's primarily for the partners, since marriage does not always involve children.

logically the second is more acceptable, since 51% of all US marriages end in divorce, and about 2/3 of them go on to remarry, and since only about 10% of all human pregnancies end up giving rise to a homosexual human, the second would affect fewer people, thus it would, presumably, be acceptable to a larger number of people, i.e., the unaffected.  Hence, the second is more acceptable.

You can't be free until you defeat your oppressors.  I say feed the freedom-haters to the lions!

Okay. Let's start with all the freedom-haters who want a $15 minimum wage.

3.  Banning fundementalists from marrying.

4. Banning fundementalists from banning things.
5. Banning fundementalists from existing.

Which would you prefer? A moderately religious nation or a communist nation? I fear you'd choose the later, obviously.

Opposing the gay agenda is not fundamentalism. It is the only kind of rational belief with regard to these matters.

I laugh whenever I hear "the gay agenda". It sounds so silly.

yeah, I thought it was a trademark Antonin Scalia phrase, but it has come into vogue lately.

The gay agenda is the agenda of gays. For example, gay marriage, gay anti-discrimination laws, gay TV, national gay day, etc.

Sounds wonderful compared to the religious agenda.
