Florida may have turned Democrat on Election Day, but voters in nearly every county voiced resounding agreement on one conservative measure: Marriage should be defined in the state's constitution as between a man and a woman.
Even in California, a state that is known for liberal ideology, a majority of its population voted yes on Proposition 8. This proposition will amend the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It will overturn a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right.
Many citizens in California are protesting this decision. While discussing this issue on “The O’Reilly Factor” Margaret Hoover, a Fox News Contributor and “cultural warrior”, commented to Bill O’Reilly that gay marriage is the civil rights issue of the 21st century.
Are same sex marriage rights the same as African-American rights?
I am not a black man, but I find this statement incredibly offensive. It is selfish and deceptive to try to equate ethnicity with sexual conduct. The civil rights movement fought to acknowledge the intrinsic value and equality of every person regardless of the color of their skin. Same sex advocates protest to legalize immoral sexual behavior. Big difference!
A majority of African-Americans voted to define marriage as an institution that consists of a man and a woman. Why aren’t African-Americans speaking up and challenging the validity of this thought?
Gay marriage is not a civil rights issue. It is not about ethnicity—it’s about ethics.
Stay tuned for part two, and please tell me what you think about this issue while you are waiting.

I agree.
I think proponents for 'gay liberties' if they hammer it enough or say it enough, sadly, many people will start believing it to be true, and the next thing you know, if you're against this sort of thing, you're a hateful individual.
