Just because I am a Christian who believes so strongly in God's Word does not make me a bigot as some of you may be implying.
No one has said that. We're calling you a bigot because you're twisting a gospel of love and acceptingness to rationalize your subconscious anti-gay hatred and then we when we call you on it you just plug your ears and go "LALALALA I LOVE JESUS AND JESUS HATED GAYS TOO".
Ok... Point taken...
Let's put this another way, a more correct way. I have friends who are gay men and I have known and worked with lesbian women. I don't care for their lifestyle, but I accept them as men and women and as creations of the Almighty God. It is my job and, more than that, my honor to love them just like I would my straight friends. The only thing I cannot do, and have a good conscience about it, is condone their marriage should they want to. I won't stop them, and I will still be their friend, but don't expect me to be in the wedding audience. I do support civil unions, however (which took me a long time to get to that point). I must say, that counting, I actually have three friends who are in the GLBT community. The third friend is a guy from high school is actually a cross-dresser/transsexual now.
that all sounds good, but then why would the legality of gay marriage in a state prevent you from moving there, as you said in a previous post?
