The belief is:
1. Marriage was ordained between a man and a woman from the beginning--with no ambiguity.
2. Sexual immorality is sex outside of marriage.
3. Sexual immorality is a sin.
4. Homosexual activity is outside of marriage (from 1)
5. Homosexual activity is a sin (from 2 and 3).
Getting 'hatred' from that takes a special kind of anger.
Well, you're trying to use your beliefs on me, and disrespecting my desire to live a life free of religion. At very least you should have the courtesy to not call my sexual expression "sinful." Think it all you want, but if you have the audacity to repeatedly say it publicly where I can hear it, I am going to repeatedly call you out as a homophobic bigot.

You cannot argue that traditional marriage was not one of the primary pillars of every culture. There is no argument that could be made that the few cultures that allowed open same-sex relationships viewed them on par with traditional marriage within the fabric of their society.
There is nothing wrong with changing traditions or throwing them away completely, Steve.
