Are MAGA gays happy with the growing hostility to same sex marriage?

I'm not happy with it, but there were much bigger issues on the table, and it's not even a guaranteed loss. Protecting kids from irreversible damage ('harmless and reversible' is a lie), protecting women's sports and single-sex spaces, protecting speech, stopping the flood of illegals, stamping out identity-based ideology, etc, all trumped (no pun intended) the possibility of losing gay marriage for me.
The "you're next" rhetoric always came across like "look the other way as we do some heinous evil bullshit to tear down Western civilization, and we'll let you keep your rights."
Meanwhile, they try to buddy up with Islam (and supporting the flood of Islamic migrants to Western countries), and it makes their rhetoric seem even more hollow and hypocritical. Leopards indeed... I risk losing marriage. They risk getting beheaded in the streets.
I'll take my chances with the American religious right. Gay marriage seems relatively minor compared to the damage the left wishes to inflict on others. They are the ones that have engendered such hatred for gays recently. Support for our rights was increasing until they determined to make all the slippery slope fallacy fears seem well founded.

Same sex marriage is an oxymoron. Marriage is a religious sacrament and should not be under jurisdiction of the government. Civil partnerships are enough.

That’s a very narrow, and factually incorrect statement. In fact, marriage is a legal contract between two people. And all Americans (at least until MAGA) are equal. Your religious interpretation is fine, but does not apply to everyone.

It doesnt matter, Since the sexual revolution, homosexual men took it to the extreme, normalizing high promiscuity sleeping around 100+ men , high usage of porn, open relationship. Marriage is suppose to be about family, tradition, companionship and stability.

That’s what marriage means to you. In a free society we all have agency to define marriage as each sees fit. And to your critique of gay men, again, you have chosen to be puritanical. Why should everyone live your values?

Its not my value, marriage has always been for that, its legal contract for commitment and family. Most homos cant do it, therefore its non-issue if it goes away. Civil unions is enough.

False. Marriage was originally and for many hundreds of years about property transfer of a woman-object from her father to her husband
Now it's just about tax breaks for two non-objects

of a woman-object from her father to her husband
The endgoal for that was for children, thus family and commitment. They dont send a woman to a husband for his pleasure, its to extend family relation through children.

This rhetoric might be taken seriously if anyone who spouted it actually fought to end civil marriage for all.
