And at the time about 50% of Americans opposed same sex marriage. You can't be so polarized that you can't even tolerate half of the population. If we go down this road, companies in conservative areas will start firing their liberal CEOs and employees. After all, they believe just as vehemently as you, that you want to take away their rights. Nothing good comes from this trend.

And your presentation of his belief is, again, very uncharitable. A decent percentage of conservatives were in favor of civil unions and other legal work arounds to give gay couples the same benefits as straight ones. Many didn't really care what gay people did and were just afraid of the slippery slope.
