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

[KevinM1]

I really don't understand why the issue here *except* as rank bigotry.

My marriage to my wife isn't affected by two men getting married or two women getting married.

If anything, I feel it is enhanced because the institution as a whole is more inclusive and thereby more in line with how it *should* be.

Seriously, if this is a definitional change, bring it on!

Of course it's bigotry.  It's the most insidious kind - casual bigotry.  The kind that isn't rooted in pure hate, but rather keeping The Other in their place.  Homosexuals are fine... until they act on their urges and try to get married.  That's a step too far.  They should just be chaste and not want to strive for the same kind of social status as everyone else.  

Not so long ago, the same kinds of things were said about African-Americans.  Whether they could integrate.  Whether they should integrate.  Plenty of people had the attitude of "I don't hate Negros, I just don't think we should mingle."  What is that if not bigotry?
