5. Another suggestion
I don't think the people who will be swayed by this scare tactic will understand the spirit of the Constitution. Until somebody paints the Constitution on a NASCAR racing car, it's too abstract. I don't mean to be condescending, but my experience in the "real world" bears this out.

If the first poster's suggestion doesn't work, I intend to divert attention to an issue the person can relate to. For example:

"Oh, yeah! They've got nothing better to do than worry about the gays! While little old ladies are having to eat dog food because they can't afford their pills, that bozo wants you to worry about the gays! We've lost X Million jobs in the last Y years and they don't want you to notice that! Nooo. They want you to worry about the gays! They can't fix anything that matters, so they want you to focus on something that doesn't even matter to you. It's the oldest magician's trick in the book! Do they think you were born yesterday?"

It's the truth anyway! Don't let gays and lesbians be used as the new "Willie Horton".
