There were people who opposed the abolition of slavery, emancipation for women, the banning of discrimination of women, the attempts to eradicate racism and now the need to eradicate homophobia!
Christian leaders from around the world have clearly stated their opposition to the "victimization or diminishment" of gays and lesbians, saying demonizing and persecuting them was "totally against Christian charity and basic principles of pastoral care".
Taking one sin to indulge in intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution will never be acceptable in the eyes of God!
"We say that no one should have to live in fear because of the bigotry of others."
The Mormons poured millions into forcing through prop 8 in CA: to ban gay marriage. In August 2010 the court held that to be unconstitutional. On 15 June 2011 the San Francisco court upheld that decision because it violates the constitutional rights of citizens. On 7 February 2012 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck the California law again finding that the California state constitution banning same-sex marriage violated principles of due process and equal protection under the law.
The court found that the ban violates equality laws to target a minority group and withdraw a right that it possessed, without a legitimate reason for doing so. Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California. The constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.
The Supreme Court upheld the early court decision. Thus anyone married in any state or country where gay marriage is legal is legally married in all American states and most countries in the world!
Gay marriage is now legal virtually everywhere and that will be marriage and not civil partnership!
In the UK The intolerance, bigotry and homophobia from Christians resulted in it being classed as a hate crime with severe sentences. It has led to the government framing legislation which if enacted will replace "Civil Partnership" with full marriage. France, New Zealand, Spain and ten other countries have legalized gay marriage and others have commenced legislating to do so!

What do you mean? To me, it's right up there with
pedophiles. Of course I reject it. And I have the right to speak. All those groups do not keep it to themselves:
I don't, either. Expect to see deterioration of society.
Not once here have I mentioned Christianity: I don't need to. It's a no brainer that it is sick and produces sickness.
By sick, I mean there's something ..off?..in how they look, their voice. I've seen ppl walk far away. They say they have multiple sex partners, so forget love, loyalty.
Statistically. Then I'll just be smeared with..homophobic, but it's coming from Christianophobia.

I'm tolerant in the sense that I know that we all have the right to our opinion, even if we don't agree with each other.
But I don't stand around and listen to hatred. I distance myself from people like that.

Like any insane people, guard and guide them, and keep them from harming themselves and others. Not allowing the insane to vote or influence politics and the peaceful lives of others is a Loving thing to do, while we all heal together!

I belive they have a right to believe what they want, but I also believe people have a right to marry who they want, and I believe being with the person who makes you happy, is more important than what someone thinks about it.

Other than gay marriage what do you mean? How does a government piece of paper help you if your goals are not fiscal?

By not discussing your sex life with everybody you come in contact with? Crazy idea, right?
