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?

I recognize that you aren't trying to start anything, but if I actually explain WHY, that would just start OTHERS on that path of sniping and backbiting. I don't want to do all of that. People start slinging allegations of homophobia even that's not even CLOSE to being the case. It is just too sticky.
