No, the small minority only ask for the same benefits as the majority. The majority say "No" and pat themselves on the backs for being better people. As to "everyone else", they're not being asked to "conform", just accept and stop denying equality to the minority. They oppress the minority and then blame the minority for trying to "oppress" them.

Your pool of actual couples who wish to marry is much smaller than you are led to believe. This is a very "loud" issue only because those who push for it are extremely vocal - the vast majority of the homosexual community (which is small in relation to general society) is not active on this. Don't be fooled into thinking its some massive push by some large part of society - its simply that the "squeeky wheel gets the grease" example of what gets attention in the media.

It doesn't matter if it's only one. Oppression is oppression.

And right there you have the problem - the State shouldn't be involved to start with. If it were not - this wouldn't be a question.

So why are you cheering so loudly over the State's "correct" decision?
