One of the pro-LGBTQ arguments swallowed by too many people in the center — and especially by those claiming the name of Christ — is that oxymoronic “same-sex marriage” (SSM) won’t impact them. That is a lie. Via Evidence of homofascism | Reason To Stand, where you can see many of the things already carried out by the Gaystap / GayGB. View the link to see the entire list. And note that these things have happened while most states have voted against SSM. It will only get worse. Religious freedoms will inevitably erode further, because they will make real Christians enemies of the state.
As part of my answer I mentioned the oppression of natural marriage proponents by homosexuals and was subsequently asked to provide evidence to substantiate my claim.
Here is my answer.
The issue is how, in the quest for normalization/affirmation, “gay rights” will result in oppressive laws/regimes like the Human/Homosexual Rights Commission of Canada.
Redefining marriage will certainly affect how everyone thinks about marriage and statistical data shows that in countries where marriage has been redefined to mean nothing more than two people posessing strong feelings for one another, the number of people who get married and stay married are dismal at best.

Of course the redefinition of marriage is not the only cause behind the decline of the institution of marriage, it was already sick as evidenced by the prominance of sexual promiscuity and high divorce rates. But redefining marriage in an attempt to divorce it from its biological moorings is like adding a new sickness on already diseased animal.
As for the oppression that forced normalization/acceptance of homosexuality brings, I submit the following list as examples of what is becoming known as “homo-fascism”, a term I find quite apt and not the least bit ironic.
Please note as well that these are actual cases that have already happened, this is not a “slippery slope” hypothetical scenario. The politically corerect ship of homosexual persecution has already sailed.

I’ve been posting similar examples on my blog for quite a while now. It is nothing but a bald-faced lie to say same-sex faux marriage will not affect anyone. The homosexualists are nothing but gaystapo.

To be fair, the issue is whether homosexual marriage will adversely affect the marriage of Mr and Mrs Neil Simpson. I don’t know why they want to dispute that claim, since I don’t know of anyone who made the claim in the first place. Of course the objection is that it will adversely affect the institution of marriage, which is has as has been noted in the post. It won’t affect MY marriage. It has nothing to do with MY marriage. It is insignificant to MY marriage. Heck, even I haven’t wrecked my marriage yet, so I don’t see how a couple of homosexuals hooking up could have ANY affect on MY marriage. But marriage as an institution is in great jeopardy.

The question of whether it directly affects MY marriage is ludicrous. Someone breaking into a house down the street and stealing everything inside doesn’t affect ME personally either. A gang member blowing away another gang member doesn’t affect me personally either. Someone committing adultery doesn’t affect me personally either.
The whole idea that something has to affect you personally is absurd and illogical.
BUT, what about all the people who ARE affected personally by the refusal to sanction faux marriage? And that’s the point. Today I might not be hurt personally, but what about tomorrow? If I am asked to play my pipes for a same-sex union and refuse, will I be sued? If so, then SSFM has indeed hurt my marriage!
