Eh, they're no more responsible than the USDA is responsible for unhealthy food or the oil and gas lobby is for pollution or the AMA is for cartel behavior on the supply of doctors. (and in all of those cases, the death tolls are higher.) It's easy for people (especially certain middle-to-high income bracket liberal demographics) to give a pass on hating NRA/rednecks/religious folks while at the same time remaining indignant about what is an issue effecting a small subset of the population. Moreover, while there are very valid arguments to be made in support of gay rights (usually by way of personal liberty, freedom of association, privacy, etc.), you really need to be willing to apply them to folks you don't like.
