 Okay, so these are not just the Duggars privately-held beliefs, they are working to make them into law. So? Only the left is allowed to be involved in politics, I suppose, because it's okay if YOUR privately-held beliefs determine law, but not ours. Think again.

 No, any personally-held beliefs that I have are kept private if those beliefs would harm someone else. This is about restricting the private behavior of other people. It's about keeping protections from peoplewho are gay from being fired for being gay. You can't lump all beliefs together when it comes to making law. Of course laws are affected by the beliefs of all who make them, but we ideally stop where it would take rights from other people. They have the right to feel the way they do. People who are gay have the legal right to be gay. But no one is asking that people who are gay have special rights, they just want the same rights that everybody else has. i.e. They don't want to be fired for being gay. Go look up the politicians the Duggars have campaigned for and what those politicians want to make law.

Perhaps you should revisit your history.  You are in error when you say only "the left is allowed to be involved in politics".  Last time I looked, the religious right was picketing abortion clinics and publicly and financially supporting conservative congressmen who are all about taking away women's constitutional right to abortion.  Not only that, but the religious right is also heavily involved in trying to get creationism in schools. 

Next time try researching your facts instead of mindlessly spouting whatever comes out of the Fox News reporters' mouths.
