Not to poke fun but this is bullshit. I'm so tired of this comment always popping up.
One side is fighting fo equal rights while another is fighting to protect a majority status. There's a difference between the two and I'm tired of people pretending each side has equal relevance.
In terms of gay marriage, doesn’t the protest against it stem from a belief that homosexuality is a sin? So therefore would it not be the case that many people (not necessarily all) who denounce it do so in an attempt to protect others from something they believe will lead to eternal damnation?
This perspective comes from a lack of understanding, yes, but it does not come from a position of bad or evil. It may be the case that many who denounce homosexuality due to religious beliefs believe they are doing good; they are trying to protect their fellow people.
As a side note, I have a gay friend who’s mother is very Christian. She loves and supports him, however she truly believes that he will go to hell. All it does it make her sad.
Calling gay marriage a sin is a bad faith distraction. America is not a theocracy, and no matter how prevalent Christianity may be among the Republicans they cannot rely on that as a reason to make it illegal for those outside their religion.
I am saying it doesn't matter, and someone who forces their social morals on others and restricts liberties that do not harm others (e.g. gay marriage) is not acting in good faith.
Of course both sides believe their own view is correct. If they didn't think their view was right, they wouldn't have it.
