For one, DOMA was struck down, so marriage is not just a man and woman. And yes, marriage is not necessary, if you don't want tax breaks.

I, for one, would like to know your opinion. Are gay people human? Honestly, I'm getting the sense you're calling them inhuman. I might be wrong, though.

Thoughts?

You need to cut down on your BBCode usage. I must say, this is definitely a step in the right direction, though.

Yes, you are. Seven nations still have the death penalty for homosexuality. Many others imprison them. The UN thinks this is wrong. You disagree with UN. You are supporting the ability of other nations to kill, torture, and imprison them.

Because of a petty gripe you have with homosexuality, you agree with murdering them because of their sexuality? That is nothing short of despicable.

What I don't understand is how these militant Christians don't see God as a malevolent being for condemning homosexuality. Sexual/romantic attraction, whether heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual, is a natural and beautiful thing. If God is against something as natural as sex and love, then he's not good by any means.
