It is only recently that they have tried to broaden their rights beyond the rest of our's, and that has decidedly turned out to be yet another nail in their liberal supporters' coffin.

How are they redefining marriage? Isn’t it the lifelong commitment to the person you love? How are they broadening their rights beyond the rest of us? Currently hetero’s can marry the person of their choice, but gays cannot. Gay marriage will simply give everyone the right to marry the person of their choice. Once this happens, then everyone will be equal in that they can marry the person of their choice.
You keep bringing up pedophiles. A murderer might say the same thing, in that it was a naturally occurring urge. You could probably find this true with a lot of crimes. Some even have names, like kleptomaniac. But these crimes all harm others, while homosexuality (again, between consenting adults) does not.
