So no good reasons?


Don't dismiss that as a bad reason. if we are to presume the Judeo-Christian God is indeed a real being, that's a reason.

Morality is subjective, and not everyone agrees on the same morality. Even still, you can't ban gay marriage because of your religions beliefs. Also, it doesn't "deny" the children proper parents. That's bullshit.

I don't think my mom has ever stated her position on SSM. However, she does believe that homosexuality is disgusting (and I think she was angry as President Obama for endorsing it), so she probably wouldn't approve of it.

Ha. In my case it's the opposite. She hasn't really given a concrete opinion on homosexuality, but overall she doesn't consider it her business.

She's the most dedicated Catholic I know - she even volunteers at the church as a catechist - and also the most tolerant person I know, often talking about the core message of love and tolerance in the Bible and teaching it to kids in our town.

Which actually makes me more resentful towards homophobic pseudo-Catholics or Christians.

We do not legislate against immorality and people have vastly different moralities in the US, separation of church and state, explain why this matters, a mother and father are not necessary, two parents are very good however.

Not really since this country is a secular country. God existing or not existing is thus irrelevant.

If such a being does truly exist, Ive been told that no matter what, He will still love sinners.

A lot of things can "deny" children of "proper" parents. Most of them involve neglect/aabuse at the hands of parents. None of them specifically involve having two dads or two moms.

Is it bad because God says so, or does God say so because it's bad?

I know the Omnissiah says it's OK, because it's OK. I like that god's opinion more.
These people are warping the Natural norm.

Appeal to nature. The natural world doesn't give us a moral code.
It denies children a proper father or mother.

This has always been a shitty argument. Why does a child need one of each instead of two of one?

Thank you for saying this! People who use the word of God for hate speech are despicable. It goes against everything Jesus taught.

He's correct, the foundation of Christianity is built on generations of sectarian, religious, and gender based violence.

It's bloody sad, that's what it is.

Most of these pseudo-christians are often the ones that take their religion the least serious unless it comes to something that aligns with their own political ideologies. Then they're suddenly the best frickin' Christian on the entire planet and genuinely believe it.

Here's the thing, would you appreciate it if you were forced to observe Ramadan right now and not eat or drink during the day? No? Perhaps you should, oh, I don't know... "do unto others as you would have done unto you" or something like that?
