Equal Rights??

I keep hearing the words "Equal right", and "We want Equality", being chanted from the gay community. What about our rights as a religion?? Banning gay marriage is not about stealing someone else's right. They still have them, they have every right to do with there lives as they wish. They still receive the same "benefits" that a Husband and wife do. When Pro 8 passed, the gay community didn't loose anything, they still have all the rights they had before, that fall under the "Domestic Partnership" They just want the title,"Married" California was not the only place that voted on gay marriage this election, Arizona and Florida both voted on it, and Both voted to Ban gay marriage. Yet California is the only place I have read about that are protesting the matter. There have been protest in L.A just out side the Temple, A gathering of 20 thousand in San Diego,  a long with San Francisco, & San Jose. Satin has taken hold of the hearts of many people, gay and strait, and have led them to believe that we the Mormons are to blame. The only thing we stand guilty of is fighting to preserver something that is very sacred. Our county has not been this divided since Lincoln was President. Half the county is mad that Obama is our next president, some are glad, and some are indifferent. The fact is a Nation divided will fall! Let us not be found guilty of hatred, let us not be found guilty of animosity to wards our bothers and sisters that are not of this faith. I know that when the Savior comes the world we be the worst it has ever been, But let us all keep the commandments that we have made in the Temple. Let us keep and make our homes a refuge from the out side world. Lets us find ourselves lost in service to those around us.  And lest us sand united in a common goal.
