Religion and LGBT people

[Esquilax]

You are precious. You have just said exactly the same thing, more or less, as downbeatplumb. Yet both of you claim that you treat "homosexual" and "heterosexual" relationships the same. Unless I've misunderstood you.

Yet you both give the same basic opposition to incest, that's so precious.

Did you and I read the same post? Badger said they should be allowed to marry, in pretty plain English. Sure he had reservations about incestuous relationships in terms of possible genetic harm, but disliking certain aspects of something isn't the same thing as disapproving of it all on the whole, nor does it hint at some form of secret disapproval of their marriages.

See, this is the thing that few theists seem to understand, and it contributes so much to the fact the existence of the debate about gay marriage: you can disapprove of something, and still tolerate its existence. When a theist makes a religious argument against homosexuality, it just shows they've conflated their own personal opinions with how the world should be. Just... take a step back and recognize that personal feelings on the matter need not affect one's rational view of the world.
