>So why is it that Muslim countries that stone homosexuals and girls who bring disgrace on their families for the sin of being raped get a pass, but voting to keep the definition of the word "Marriage" what it's traditionally been throughout history is grounds for effective lynching?
It is NOT the same in all muslim countries. Even otherwise, just because some places in the world are worse doesn't mean that countries which have moved past the religion based government model should go back to it.
>but you somehow cannot respect them for being honest when they state that their opposition is not because it's 'icky' but because they see it as redefining what marriage is.
Marriage has been redefined many many times where originally it was about treating women as property to most recently to allow interracial marriages in U.S. Pretending as if had the same definition and purpose throughout history is counter factual.
