Takei's reasoning is a non-sequitur. Both issues could be just as likely to negatively affect (or not) the institution of marriage.
If you think that is weird, try showing up to a Republican Tea Party event if you are black or gay!
Pure silliness. My best friend is an extreme Tea Partier. As a black man, he finds statements like that extremely offensive.
As a conservative, so do I. Why do liberals love to attribute to conservatives views they don't have?
Demonizing and pigeonholing and generalization, of course. No way you could disagree with the agenda, of say... the current administration without obviously being a racist.![]()
Some people just like being "elitists". It has nothing to do with their political affiliation, faith or race. It could be done out of habit rather than in some mean-spirited way. I think plenty of people have heard "you are not logical" quite a few times.

However I am disappointed that both Mr. Takei and Mr. Shatner even mentioned this Kim person (sorry cannot spell her last name). I didn't even know this person existed before reading their comments. Why do they have to feed me this useless information? My head was already filled with too much useless information.
