Lol, you've got backbone, nice to meet you.I just finished a discussion about this on Facebook, I believe the gay community wants their marriage to be seen as acceptable to churches worldwide, I'm thinking it's not just a legal issue. I explained to some friends that Christians want to say "yes" to equality but "no" to homosexual behavior, which makes it a hard topic to vote on. I'm still not sure how I will vote.
A vote hey? just remember that if interracial marriage had been subject to a vote in the '50s you would not have been able to marry your husband.
And yes, the bible was quoted to support a ban on interracial marriage.
Read this, http://www.religioustolerance.org/marracbib.htm
BTW this is a theist site and I would direct your attention to the last paragraph.
Quote:An alternate interpretation of the Bible concludes that God loves human variety. If the stories in Genesis are literally true, he created the human race with great diversity: two sexes, many races, three sexual orientations, a range of heights and body styles, hundreds of languages, etc. Interracial marriage often produces biracial children who are different in skin color and features from both parents. This increases human diversity even more. So, perhaps interracial marriage has a positive value to God.
As well as same sex marriage.

Yes, they will grow up without all the homophobic bullshit that bigots like to spread around.

And how specifically are gays not equal?
