If you are saying that Christians should not vote for what they believe, then you are telling them not to believe what they do believe, which in my opinion, is just as bad as Christian's telling you that you cannot marry the same sex. Both sides are guilty of not treating each other as equal, and neither is willing to admit it


And simply because I am seeming to be against gay marriage does not mean that I actually am, you know. There is always the possibility that I accept and understand both sides of the argument. So you calling me discriminatory is completely ridiculous. The bottom line is that you are guilty of being discriminatory also, as you are saying that Christians are wrong for voting against gay marriage, when their right as Americans is to vote for the side of the disagreement that they believe is right, isn't that correct?
I fail to see how what we're saying differs.

I am not saying christians don't have the right to believe what they do. I'm just saying they have no right to impose it on others. Equal rights are not something that should be voted on. If all the men voted that women should get less pay would you say that's not discrimination since they have the right to vote whatever they want? The population does not get to decide who is given rights and who is not. EVERYBODY is supposed to have EQUAL rights.

And if you're not against gay marriage that's irrelevant, what I'm saying pertains to the argument you're making.
