We atheists are holding a competition right now to see who can collect the most converts.

3. Please refer to it as "same-gender marriage"...
...and "romantic orientation," not "sexual orientation." Lakoff makes the excellent case that we lose on this issue when we advance the meme that it's all about "sex."

9. Even better than same-gender marriage:
Marriage equality

10. MOST definitely that's how the entire issue should be framed.
This isn't about just marriage rights for one group. It's about equal marriage rights for all.

Excellent job.

4. I also find it remarkable that Christians ignore that they are cramming THEIR religion down throats
of anyone who doesn't share their beliefs - atheists, hindus, even those who interpret the Bible differently.
