Interestingly enough I know some gay people in school with me right now who don't agree with gay marriage either because they feel that being gay is a sin. And engaging in a discussion with them about it was interesting. We have a LGBT club at school and they have almost become divided because of this difference in opinion. |
I'm really asking this to try to understand, not to try to start anything. I've heard the religious argument before but I don't understand why some people think their religious views should be imposed on others. If gay marriage were legalized, your church would not be required to perform gay marriage ceremonies. So I don't really understand what makes that a legitimate argument. Can you help me make sense of that? If it's a personal disagreement based on religious reasons, why wouldn't you just personally not engage in such an activity and not belong to a church that supports it? Why does that have to extend to everyone else?
