That is exactly what I am talking about. You are essentially asking me to give up my right to vote the way I want to vote because of someone else's rights. Why? What makes their rights more important than mine or yours, for that matter?
If another religion, with many adherents in the US, believed that their god decreed that women should remain at home and not be allowed to take part in education, work etc, because for women to do so was sinful, and this group was, in all sincerity and adherence to its concept of divine demand, promoting its beliefs, and the US community refused to endorse and act on this group's beliefs, and insisted that women be allowed full civil rights - would you consider that their rights were being infringed upon by the American community?
Would they be discriminated against if they were not permitted to insist that others follow theitr beliefs?
This vote thing is a furphy, by the way.
What is being argued about is your apparent belief that granting civil rights somehow infringes upon your rights.
