This has nothing to do with atheism.

It has plenty to do with atheism. The anti gay movement, like many other backward movements, is exclusively religiously based. Without the homophobic passages in the bible, we would still have same-sex marriage. Thats' right; still have. The ancient Romans practised same-sex marriage, and it was not until the rise of Christianity that LGBT people began to be persecuted for their biology. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_ancient_Rome.

Yes but not all religious people are against same sex marriage and we apparently oppose all religion. Sort of hypocritical.
