Why are so many gay religious people so against gay rights?

Taking one sin to indulge in intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution will never be acceptable in the eyes of God!

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".

"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!

The loving god works in mysterious ways.

Thankfully the CRIMINAL LAW is now being used to deal with the intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution towards other and it is classed as an aggravated HATE crime with stiffer sentences! Sadly though it means the BAD Christians are criminalising Christianity!

Why are so many gay religious people so against gay rights?

They're only pretending so that they can stay with the herd. They obviously haven't had the courage to come out yet!

Haven't seen one gay person who is also religious who is protesting gay rights.

I think it's fear of commitment. They are afraid that if gay marriage is legalized, their gay lovers will insist on marriage.

Perversion is perversion. I will bet that you yourself think of SOME people as perverts. Must every one in the whole world agree exactly with you.

Self-hatred.

Because the gay community wants to compare themselves to African American prejudice and racism and the two are not the same!!!

Its all in the bible, people of Sodom and Gomorrah were punished for their sexual preferences.
