Giving some people rights and equality is moving backwards? Do you think it was moving backwards to give women more rights and equality? Do you think it was moving backwards to give black people rights and equality? You are free to be homophobic all you want, but you are not free to claim that a whole country went backwards just because YOU disagree with it. Anyone who actually supports human rights and equality will tell this is a great step forwards. And I don't see why anyone would NOT support human rights and equality. In what century are you living in? 18th?
