This idea the right-wingers won't let go, about how this will change "standards" is such a misnomer.

Legalizing Gay rights won't cause more of these kids to go gay, as some locals seem to keep on believing. Let's be honest: If you have gay tendencies and act on them, common sense dictates that you didn't need the law or culture's help in the first place.

Its why it was hilarious (in a stupid, facepalming sort of way) when the same right wingers got upset about letting those "queers" into the Military when DADT got repealed. Bullshit, they were always there. In fact I read an interesting article once claiming that the modern Gay community in NYC started post-WW2 when returning G.I.s couldn't go back home to their communities across the country because they were caught doing "sodomy" and their local draft boards were notified and thus would've become local pariahs so they stayed pretty much where they docked home from Europe and Asia.
