Let's see the extermination of people, versus voting on whether government should extend its authority over religious rites into a new social transaction.
While mildly amusing you find the superficial resemblance "following leadership", you ignore the fact that the Jews were completely powerless to affect government whereas the the sympathizers for gay marriage rites are both wealthy, powerful and hateful. Their actions do not parallel the actions of the victimized Jews in the least. Again, by drawing the analogy you desecrate the deceased.

Our fictional SS officer woud say that if you are wont to do as you're told without moral reflection when you aren't being asked to murder, you can't argue you wouldn't murder if the same people told you to do so.
You are missing the point and your outrage at my simile is a smoke screen.
