We got our rights through manipulation. We transformed our civil rights struggle into a fight between atheist/secular heterosexuals and conservative/religious theocrats. No one helped us because they liked gay people you idiots. So many dumb people on here.

This is like when black people had their history distorted and thought the civil war to end slavery was about helping black people. Slavery was a disaster for white people who couldnt afford slaves. The slave machine, wherever it went, completely annihilated white families and created massive, MASSIVE poverty and humiliation for white people who didnt have slaves. It was so humiliating that they were almost as poor and worthless as the black slaves that they might as well have joined them in the cotton fields because nothing beats how awesome slavery was for free labour. Who could compete with that? So thats why white northerners were so happy to go to war with the south...to destroy the ultra powerful economic engine of the south that was going to eat them alive. And then the history books wrote: "and white people were so awesome they sacrificed themselves to fight the evil slave owners" lol

Gay rights were always ignored until we cleverly transformed ourselves into pawns and a wedge issue between theocratic evangelicals and secularists. The theocratic evangelicals were anti gay marriage but they took on more than they could chew because they were also anti abortion, anti atheist, anti everything. People had no choice BUT to support gay marriage because if they didnt, that meant they had to accept the supremacy of christian theocracy taking over their country. But liberals hated us and didnt want our issue to be of any political significance. We tricked and manipulated them into fighting for it.
