I would like to know the categories of concern regarding the motivations for and against gay right?

For example: I just had a conversation with a dear friend whom believes that being gay is a fault. It took us over an hour to get anywhere in the conversation because I believed his end goal is to somehow oppress the "other than straight" community through legislation or other means.

So my fear was the oppression of "the gays" that is motivation one.

His presumption is that "straight people" whom defend "the gays" only do so to not be perceived as "evil"

His argument against it is he doesn't want to have the conversion about sexual orientation with his children until they're old enough.

There is obviously the religious motivation but are there any other perspectives to include in the poll to see why people feel the way they do we can have an informed discussion?

TL:DR Why are you for or against lgbt(etc.) rights?

Please be civil, I am genuinely curious and unfortunately this topic is prone to trolls.
