“I don’t sit in judgement on those in same-sex relationships. It’s just something I’ll never be in support of.”
Well, one can’t really argue with logic that isn’t there. “I just won’t support it” isn’t logic. Neither is anything anyone else has said against gay marriage. (Previous attempts on this thread to argue against gay marriage have been shot down quite effectively already, so I don’t think it’s necessary to do it here. Although I’ll happily rebut any future arguments).
It seems to me that arguments against it are all based in ignorance. Either saying that marriage is a religious thing or similarly incorrect arguments. But I think most people who are against it are just plain homophobic.
A lot of people say they disagree with it for religious reasons. And that’s fine. You can disagree with it because the part of the bible that you agree with say it’s an abomination (and we’ll just conveniently forget about the parts of the bible that you ignore because you’re a hypocrite). You can disagree with it, but when you try to stop someone else from doing it, that’s wrong. That’s like me saying, “my religion says that shoes are an abomination. Therefore nobody should be allowed to wear shoes.” Just because my religion doesn’t have a billion sheep -oops, I mean adherents – doesn’t mean my religious views shouldn’t have as much weight as yours. (And don’t start with the “founding fathers were christians and our country is based on their religion” argument, because it isn’t true and it won’t fly. Or do start with that argument if you insist, and we’ll go from there). Which is to say my religious viewpoints and yours shouldn’t have any effect on the laws of this country.
