All anybody wants is for you and other Christians to stay out of the way and stop denying gay people the rights you enjoy. That does not require your approval of homosexuality. It does not require your endorsement of homosexuality. It does not mean that you have to like or tolerate gay people. It does not mean that you have to give up your prejudices. It only means that you need to stop forcing other people to adhere to your prejudices. Just because you think your religion is right and true doesn't give you the right to impose upon the lives of others.
Gay marriage does not harm you in any way. It does not harm anybody. It doesn't ruin marriage. It in no way makes it more difficult for Jesus-approved straight people to marry. When such simple, basic truths are this hard for Christians to comprehend, when Christians go so far out of their way to invent ridiculous reasons not to comprehend, when they paint a picture of oppression by gays who want to steal religious freedom from Christians, when you do so much to slander gay people in general, all on top of the well-established fact that Christians in America have loudly opposed previous examples of being forced, by law, to treat people who aren't like them as equals, why should it surprise you when the rest of us think that what you're really opposed to is the idea of people not like you being treated like equal human beings?
If Christianity is supposed to be a religion of love, why do you people spend so much of your time justifying your hatreds?
