Well, you don't know what it's like to be a conservative white heterosexual male, surrounded by liberals who feel like white conservatives are the only ones in America who aren't entitled to opinion or protection from discrimination.



This is a decidedly different picture than the one you paint in your other posts, where you suggest that it's not just you that opposes gay marriage, but the whole world. Everybody. There, you're the many, being undermined by the few. Now, you're the few, being oppressed by the many.

Which is it?



Your tone is condescending, but I'll roll with it.

I fail to see the inconsistency in my position that you allege. And I resent being accused of being inconsistent. I'm not.

There are only three nations on Earth that have legalized gay marriage (with an aggressive lobby in the U.S. attempting to make it the fourth).
The rest of the world does oppose gay marriage.

Within the U.S., I think gays are about 2% of the population, according to most official estimates I see. And liberals are roughly 50% of the population (gays contained within that 50%). But liberals in the media and courts are trying to unfairly leverage out conservative institutions and public thought, through unfair rulings and biased propaganda.
As I've quoted often, the media are statistically over 80% liberal. And while the news media is less than 20% conservative, the U.S. population is generally conservative by a much larger percentage.
But new generations growing up with liberal news and entertainment have increasingly cynical and warped values, with each new generation. The hegemonic influence of a liberal minority is slowly warping the majority.

Looking at American culture from a racial/ethnic perspective, white/European Americans are and have long been the majority in the U.S., but that is projected to decine to a minority of 43% or so by the year 2040, as non-European immigration, and domestic non-European birth rates increase at a faster rate than domestic white/European Americans (which are at pretty much zero growth rate, pretty much just having two children per family).

So there are two ways in which America is rapidly changing, like at no time in its history:

There is the racial perspective, of a declining European percentage.

And there is the cultural perspective, of liberals attempting to aggressively leverage out conservative institutions.

I think my area in Florida is changing both racially and culturally, at a much faster rate than the rest of the nation.
While I speak Spanish, I resent having to select English when I call my bank or use my ATM.

As I've detailed elsewhere, on the one hand, I find it exciting to meet so many people from so many places. But at the same time, I find it a bit threatening, that immigration and foreign presence in the U.S. has become so overwhelming. I would like to see immigration reduced by at least half, to allow recent immigrants to assimilate into American culture.

But I don't find the racial change in America nearly as threatening as the cultural change: the rise of gay marriage, gay adoption, and gay/liberal undermining of the values that I grew up with.
And swing clubs, rampant escort services and prostitution, and the number of people I've met personally who engage in group sex, promiscuity and drugs. And psychics, and gambling casinos, body piercing, tattoos...

This is not my fricking America.
