Bride+Groom Marriage Licensing Kills Puppies

Ted Olson, like many marriage neutering advocates, apparently has no qualms about exploiting a suicide and gang violence to further the pathological need to have federal courts impose the neutering of marriage licenses on unwilling states. He did this in written arguments filed with the 9th District Court of Appeals in the Proposition 8 case. Maura Dolan writes at LATimes.com.
Olson said the "unmistakable purpose and effect" of Proposition 8 was "to isolate gay men and lesbians and their relationships as separate, unusual, dangerous, and unworthy of the marital relationship."
The purpose of Proposition 8 was to add an amendment to the state constitution that kept/restored recognition of the very important distinction between the only kind of relationship that produces new citizens and provides those new citizens with a parent, role model, bonding partner, provider, protector, and nurturer from each of the two sexes that comprise all of society, legally bound to each other – and other kinds of relationships.
Olson's arguments referred to the suicide of Tyler Clementi, 18, who jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate streamed video to the Internet of Clementi in a gay sexual encounter.
Yes, no straight person would ever commit suicide for having their privacy so viciously, widely, and irrevocably violated. And Clementi, and no other homosexual people, would have ever commited suicide if brideless or groomless couples could get marriage licenses in California. Right.
The other incident a few days later involved an alleged anti-gay attack by a gang in an unoccupied apartment in the Bronx.

The gangs of New York would stop their criminal ways if, and only if, brideless or groomless couples could get marriage licenses in California. Riiiiight.

So by this line of reasoning, Judge Walker and marriage neutering activists must be responsible for arson at LDS churches.

I do believe bullying and suicides are horrible and wrong, but I'd like marriage neutering advocates to tell me why they think people should not bully or commit suicide.
