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?
