Why is it ok to use the gay taxpayers' money to enact legislative bans against them, but when gays use taxpayer money it's an affront to the rest of the country?

I don't think there is anything wrong with gay people trying to do that. Other than my personal objections to their lifestyle, I could care less if they decide to use legal channels to advance their cause. I hope they fail, but I don't object to them making the attempt (personal objections noted, of course).
I was quite simply refuting your point that this wasn't being driven by the gay community.
