WE ALL HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS. Rights to believe that gays should not be married, and rights to believe that they should be able to be married. That is exactly what I have said from my first post. Everyone is going to disagree, but attacking Christians and those against gay marriage solves absolutely nothing. As I said, both sides are guilty. Homosexuals for attacking Christians, Christians for attacking homosexuals. Neither side is perfect. It will not be perfect if homosexuality is made illegal, for that will not be fair to the homosexuals. It will not be fair to the Christians if gay marriage remains legal. So you see, it's not simply "poor homosexuals" because their beliefs are not the only beliefs at stake here.

You have the right to BELIEVE, not IMPOSE.

For the record, I'm not attacking christians. I am attacking this one aspect of some christians. Also for the record, there are christian individuals AND churches who support gay marriage.

Giving gay people the right to marry is not taking ANYTHING away from the christians. They don't have to be gay or perform gay marriages. They can continue living their lives as straight people who disagree with gay marriage. They still have ALL their rights. Not allowing gays to marry IS TAKING away rights from the gays. That is a HUGE difference. I don't know why you can't see that. Equal Rights is not a belief, it's called a fundamental freedom.
