I object to the redefinition of marriage to include men marrying each other. As for this grand 17th century idea of freedom - it has been destroyed by the Non United States government in the name of liberalism.
I cannot hire who I want or serve who I want if the government raises an objection - lack of freedom.
In some cases, I must hire some members of an aggrieved subgroup if the government so insists.
On college campuses, the liberal domain akin to the holy of holies - I may not speak freely if such speech is objectionable to the lord and masters therein or their enforcers and sycophants.

The Establishment fascist machine is the enemy. All of us - white, black, brown, yellow, gay, straight, poor, middle class, whatever group they try to pigeonhole you into - need to come together and realize these are phony divisions. We need to come together, in massive civil disobedience, united against those who divide us for their own power and profit. You have more in common with the gay man, or black looter, or white drug dealer,
et. al. than you do with the fascist Establishment statists who want to drain our lives and livelihoods. If we could just see that if we put aside our differences, even temporarily, and unite against the real enemies, we could topple this regime peacefully, and totally. We could rebuild a society based on individual freedom and personal responsibility.
Won't happen, because the government knows just how free stuff to give away to keep the dumb masses pacified, while they take the lion's share for themselves, and amass more and more wealth and power for themselves.
We are entering a very dark period in world history. The climate will not destroy us. We will destroy ourselves.
I'm going to go have a drink and get laid. Watch the destruction in the arms of a pretty, young provider.
