But what, pray tell, does the Bible have to do with this issue?
People who believe in the Bible and Christianity are being forced by the government to do things that is against their religion. A few words from someone else on the Internet:
"The big deal is forcing a court clerk with religious convictions to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples, forcing a Christian Bakery to bake an explicit wedding cake for a homosexual couple, forcing a doctor to hand out hormone pills to a man who wants breasts so his husband can play with them and being forced to accept these patients as married couples, forcing a Christian photographer to attend a gay wedding and photograph the things that he or she finds repulsive and against their religion, forcing private schools to have same sex couples attending school events where traditional families are forced to be exposed to them as though they were a couple, This would be like making an atheist attend prayers in a school, or forcing a Jew to eat Pork - and if one doesn't comply - they get sued, lose their business, lose their... job, and end up bankrupted by court cases that they cannot afford to defend against. It is a violation of the Constitution for the Government to force people to act against their religious beliefs. And what will happen when some man shows up at your door and tells you he has married your 12 year old son - will you be forced to let him get away with that crap? Since marriage can now be anything a nut case wants it to be. Or when you find out that your neighbors are a group of 6 or 10 people in a community marriage - and now you have to sit by and watch that abomination on a daily basis - and the value of your house has plummeted to nothing. Gays don't just go about their lives - they flaunt their "gayness" loud and obnoxiously."
That sounded somewhat rational until they got to the bit about about ",,, a man [showing] up at [my] door and tells [me] he has married [my] 12 year old son..." and the bit about ",,,marriage [could] be anything a nut case wants it to be" .
At that point I realized whoever wrote that was a lunatic, and i stopped reading. I does appear we need to make psychiatric help more readily available.
By associating with this kind of stuff you run the danger of being branded a lunatic as well.
The whole problem is that the ignorant writers of the Bible did not know that homosexuality is not a choice for the vast majority of gays. Can't blame them really. It was the Bronze Age. Mankind was still pretty stupid and two thousand years later some still are. They can be blamed.

Now you know how I feel about this "gay" thing. Lunatics. I realize "it" must be a birth defect but aren't scientists working on how to prevent birth defects? As far as psychiatric help being more available for "gay" people I think that is being outlawed in several places in the US.
Of course, in the U.S., still today, you have the right to "feel" about an issue however you like, even if others might "feel" you're a lunatic. Where your rights stop however is when they impact others in a substantive way. To illustrate, Let me give you a straight forward examples of substantive and non-substantive impacts created by the "Gay Marriage" decision. Substantive impact: The unlimited transfer of assets to a spouse, tax free. (This can have a major substantive impact on gay couples, and it was made legal by the Court's decision. Although this could have an indirect impact on you as well, it would not be a substantive impact on you.) Non-substantive impact: Revulsion at seeing two females or two males kiss each other on the lips. (This could impact you regardless of the law, but it would not be a substantive impact. You would have a difficult time, indeed, convincing the Court that you were harmed in a substantive way!)
Marriage between two people of the same sex is now the law because without being permitted to marry these same two were being substantively harmed under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. I don't know how to make this issue any more simple than that.
It is the law. You can legally challenge its legality, but you are not likely to succeed. You can challenge it illegally, and in a way that substantively impacts others rights, in which case you may be arrested. You can continue to state your opposition as long as it has no substantive impact on others, and you'll only annoy a majority of those who "feel" differently than you. You can move to another country were the law better suits you. (Not a very practical remedy.)

I know, it's like those lefties. Birth defect. They should get help.
