Thus in a secular society like the US, where equal rights for all citizens are guaranteed by the Constitution, agitation for such rights have become became recognised as fair and become popular over time - even though they may not have started off that way.
Without violence, the only way anyone can win is to have a better rational argument, and that's what Christians usually lack since they most often rely on an appeals to emotion: fear of punishment by God, shame that it's not natural, etc. Even Nick's article kind of does it to Christians: stand up and fight you cowards! Well how, unless you go out and beat up gays? What persuasive arguments can the Right use, other than yammering on like a hillbilly that it ain't natural and God don't like it? Nobody cares about all that.
I'm personally neutral, but if Christians want to change what others are doing they need to learn how to be smarter, not more self-righteous, when interacting with the opposition.
