The Christian (Biblical) position is that homosexuality is not right,
but neither are murder, robbery, theft, and adultery.  The position
taken by these latest referendums call for the position to be understood
that we (which is more than just Christians or RR Christians) don't
want to be told that homosexuality is going to be pushed in our face.
To my knowledge the move is not to keep a homosexual from THINKING it is 
right, but to say at a government level that homosexuality is not to be
supported or promoted as A OK.  (That is if one wants to do it, then
don't ask me, my government, or my money to support it.  There is plenty
of art that is wrongly supported by the National Endowment for the Arts 
department with my tax dollars that both attack my religious beliefs and 
my morals.)

If it is pushed upon my beliefs and I can't reject it, you are wrong.
Christian for-profit radio stations in California cannot deny a job
to one because one is homosexual nor can they fire one who is an activist
for their position even while on the job.

The referendums, to my knowledge, haven't taken away one's right to be gay.
They target the governments support of the lifestyle.

Same.
