A few of them can still laugh about the "gay marriage issue", knowing that not many of their number spend long with one partner, regardless of media spin to the contrary.
If people of all persuasions had been allowed (say, for the last 2000 years) to legally marry and furthermore to do so without social reprobation (at least in coupling), perhaps a grand tradition and precedent of longer-term relationships might have arisen amongst homosexuals. Your observation, and the implication that you're taking from it, evidence your ignorance of sociological phenomenon. The fact that you don't bother raising the issue of equal protection and application of the law is, however, far more disappointing.

Regarding behavior in public places that the general public view as highly offensive, I agree with you.
