Whilst I support freedom to choose I do not support same sex marriage. The law may grant any variety of civil unions. So be it.
But marriage is between one man and one woman.

Right, and the point is that you are in an ever shrinking minority.
Then what is your rendition of Jesus?

Do minorities have the right to protection? Are gays a minority?

Yes, it is, and I am sure the author/publication used it for that very reason.
And? Do I care? No!

Protection from what? What do you need protection from?

Take a stab in the dark......:think: Maybe I can help: Um, the encroachment on the natural and biological family; from the attack on centuries-proven tradition; from group-think which allows no dissent. Just to name a few.

Nature is a big boy, he can take care of himself. As far as traditions, they are dated and unnecessary. You can sit in a corner and cry yourself to sleep while you play the victim card if you want to. The rest of us have other, more important things to do.Take a stab in the dark......:think: Maybe I can help: Um, the encroachment on the natural and biological family; from the attack on centuries-proven tradition; from group-think which allows no dissent.

We do have a Christianity where 95% of pastors didn't want to talk about homos untill the marriage ruling came down . it's the church's fault that there's homo marriage and homos in church. By and large, we sat by and said nothing. Now there's sour grapes. Quit buying Joel Osteen books who has hundreds of homos in his church. Quit listening to people with no backbone to preach the Bible.

That some "Christians" support homosexual marriage is not so surprising. I've spoken to some these of people and a common trait is Biblical illiteracy and a lack is spiritual discernment. I suspect if you poll these "Christians" you will find that they hardly ever read the Bible and lack a strong prayer life.

Sure, since you have spoken to a few that gives you the authority of opinion over all of them.
Even if they ([Ex 20:14] heterosexual [Lev. 20:10–12] or homosexual [Lev. 20:10,13]) could get the whole world to agree with them, they'd still be wrong (1 Jn 4:4).
The wickedness of Sodom was notorious (Gen. 13:13).
Homosexuality is: forbidden (Lev. 18:22), considered an abomination (1 Kin. 14:24), punishment for (Lev. 20:13), unclean (Rom. 1:24, 26, 27). :vomit:

Like I said the ones I have spoken to lack Biblical literacy and spiritual discernment. The Bible says that some believers will fall prey to ungodly philosophies and ideas. That's why a thorough grounding in the Bible and spiritual discernment is vital in the Christian life. I didn't understand this until I was 30 years old. I was an agnostic/atheist in my 20's.
