Why do Christian groups not try to get voting rights taken away from gays and lesbians?

Seriously, is there some reason Christian groups have that they should be allowed to vote like straight people but not be able to get married?





Also, wouldn't that help a lot with the Christian Agenda in politics?|||According to the University of Chicago's National Health and Social Life Survey, less than 2% of the population in the United States identify themselves as homosexuals (or synonymous/related terms). Even with 100% turn out for voting, that isn't much of an impact on any issue.|||Even though a lot of us don't agree with the practice of homosexual acts, we still love and respect our homosexual brothers and sisters as we do everyone else.



The Catechism of my Catholic Church expresses this well:



"The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."



Because marriage was intented between a man and a woman, of course we don't agree with homosexual marriage. But, not agreeing with something is different than saying, "I don't agree with what you are doing so you shouldn't be able to vote or to go Church".



Most of us have done things (sins) that we deeply regret---that doesn't mean that we should lose the right to vote or go to Church or other rights.



A lot of people commit the serious sin of adultery, yet they are still allowed to vote............|||Wouldn't that prove them the bigots they are?



Hatred is a hard thing to hide nowadays... well... for some it is....



"...less than 2% of the population in the United States identify themselves as homosexuals (or synonymous/related terms)."



That's larger than the Jewish and Muslim population in this country.|||Because our God tells us that homosexual acts are wrong, but to love our neighbor and treat them as we would like to be treated ourselves. Disagreeing with homosexuality doesn't necessarily mean we've stopped seeing gays as human beings.|||Oh, they would if they thought they could get away with it.|||How would gays help the Christian Agenda? They are not Christians.
