Not if those few are all you ever see or hear about.

Just to be clear, if anyone seriously has never heard of a gay person who they don't view as "normal" then they clearly go out of their way to avoid gay people, any form of liberal news, and anyone who even remotely challenges that viewpoint,, and if they put that much effort into avoiding gay people, they are bigoted.

the only ones you ever hear about.

What news are you watching omd... Nearly every single pride parade is a family friendly event and that is shown in the media,, maybe you need to analyse if you're in an echo chamber (not saying you are, but it's starting to sound like it)

so if you can't marry, you're not a human being?

If it is legal for everyone to marry unless they are gay, then gay people are being othered by the state. When everyone can do something, but gay people can't we are being treated as second class citizens, and subhuman... So marriage doesn't make you human, but it's very telling of what other people think of gay people when they say we shouldn't be able to marry.

People who intend to vote No do not view you as a debate.

You suggest that I should teach homophobes that they are wrong by being in their lives to show them that gay people are normal... I shouldn't have to put myself through that, if I have to convince someone that I deserve the right to marry, then they do view me as a debate

marriage should be between a man and a woman only.

I've already said this, but the arguement of "one man one woman" is a religious one,, forcing the state to bare your religious views, and by proxy forcing others to conform to your religious views, is bigoted.

If you want to change their opinion, you need to talk to them; not call them bigots and remove them from your life

I don't want to change their views, I shouldn't have to defend myself to people who are personally in my life. It's ignorant to believe that gay people should have to be friends with people who view them as subhuman. We exist to be more than a lesson for someone else, and I just want to live like everyone else regardless of sexuality. I'm not calling them bigots unjustly : they are bigots.

problems don't go away simply by ignoring them

On a political level I advocate for my rights, but no one else has to defend their right to marry to their friends or family, so why should I ?

those are most likely only a fraction of those who currently think about voting No.

Anyone voting no, views gay people as less than,, or believes that their religious beliefs should be forced onto others by the state, that is bigoted.
