Even if nobody had an answer to that question, your suggestion that it should be based on what the majority wants is absurd in the extreme. Is that what you think should happen?
We use a thing called 'reason' to determine these things. I don't need your God to tell me what's right and wrong. So in the case of gay marriage, these are the questions I would ask:
1. Is there any reason gay people should not be allowed to marry?
2. Who would their marriage harm?
The answers to those questions are no and nobody, in that order. Unless you'd care to postulate a reason (without reference to your Bible)?
