But, but, but.... this is all about MUH RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. This is in no way, shape, or form homophobia.
None of this:
You don't really seem to understand the concept of not wanting to ban something even if it's bad. People who discriminate against gay are indeed homophobes, and their behavior is deplorable. Some people are just of the opinion that the government shouldn't be in the business of regulating and correcting behavior. It's a pretty simple viewpoint but apparently it's too nuanced for people like you then try to imply that people who don't want to ban homophobic behavior are by implication supporters of that behavior. It's the same argument that the government always uses to increase its control over society, because few people want to stand to government behavioral modification when it's directed against people whose behavior is deplorable (in large part because people like you will then try to say that they're by implication supporters of said behavior.
It's like how all of those hypocritical world leaders were more than happy to participate in a disingenuous free speech march and say "Je Suis Charlie" but when it comes to restricting speech that most decent people consider deplorable, they're nowhere to be found.
Just like H.L. Mencken said, "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." It's easy to stand up for the right to popular speech and decent behavior, but when it comes to defending the rights of degenerates and scumbags, you get people like you who are basically like "If you support the right to do X, you must support X and are motivated by X."
