"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

[SteveII]

There is nothing wrong with criticism, and I never said otherwise.  This is about being able to have an honest and civil discussion.  I’m not going to keep fighting against what is only in your imagination, and whatever polemic you ty an twist to gain rhetorical advantage.

Let me put it this way.

Suppose someone claimed that inter-racial marriage isn't a real marriage and that real marriage is limited to those of the same race. Suppose that they point to the historical separation of the races as justified both societally and by religion.

Would you not say this person is a bigot?

The situation with gay marriage is *exactly* the same.

It is not even *remotely* the same.

The main point of contention is the definition of marriage. In your attempt at a parallel, you didn't change any definitions. No one would ever say that two people of different races can't logically get married. If you have a problem with the concept of an interracial marriage, you would be bigoted because the objection is based on race not on the definition of marriage. 

Using the ten millennium old definition of marriage, it is illogical for same sex to get married. 

I don't care [at all] if you think the definition should be changed. That is your opinion. What does NOT FOLLOW is that wishing to preserve the definition makes you a bigot.
