Since this is the place for friendly discussion of hot topics civilly. I figure I should bring the gay debate in it's totality here and get reasoned and real input without all the emotional bashing from either side.
OK first I want to ask some questions and we can go from there.
I have for the most part supported the rights of gay men and women outside of redefining marriage.
I understand and support gay couples having all the legal benefits of marriage. I do not support it being called a marriage as morally to me alone it is not.
Why does me supporting and standing by my ethics seem to be so wrong?
My argument is purely semantic in nature, so it is not really all that important. I do not bash or discriminate against gays. I treat them no different than anyone else, but two men or woman do not make a marriage, a union of sorts yes, but not a marriage. Even though I explain this in great detail and why, I am still called homphobe and told that I hate gays?
Chime in and really let me know how you feel.
I really want to know.
