Gay Marriage Ban Approved

Um, that's not my point. It's not that the fact that some straights may be in favor of gay marriage that negates it being a "gay" agenda, but the fact that far too many homos are against it. Calling it a "gay" agenda implies that it's a universal homosexual endeavor.

Oh, rational people may not see it that way ... but for those who do use "agenda" as a perjorative, that's what they are trying to put forth. It's why the "Dear valued Homosexual" notice GD posted above is funny. If there were no truth in the phobes meaning to suggest a universal gay agenda, there would be no comedy in refuting it.

I acknowledged in my post that not all gays are in support of it. But far more women were opposed to getitng the vote than gays opposed to the abolishment of sodomy laws and yet there was still a woman's movement and it had an agenda. The feminist agenda doesn't go away just because 40% of women aren't on board.
