You are speaking for more than just you.  There are both the "That is
wrong" reaction and the "What will they attack next?" reaction involved.
For myself, the former is the stronger right now, but in either case, as
a 'straight' I am concerned even though "only the gays" are immediately
affected.  (A point that can be argued.)

The next step is "So what are we going to do about it?"  This being a
democracy, we cannot just sit on our behinds and moan if it is important.
