This country has been in a constant state of backlash since June 28, 1969, the anniversary of Stonewall, NYC. The "moral majority" went on the attack then to which the gay community backlashed, etc., etc., etc., etc. It is increasing in intensity and has scambled many things. Have no problem with the faithful until they seek to achieve positions of authority either "allowing" or "forbidding" equal rights to every American citizen based purely on those faiths, and not on the law or common sense.
