Its OK! We should let them live their life as they desire. Because, it is their democratic right...
I'm speaking as someone who lived with a gay man for a year as my college room mate. I couldn't care less what he does in the private life. Although I will tell you I did observe some disturbing behavior. Nor do I care what people in general do behind closes doors as long as it consentual.
But to incorporate homosexual relationships under the definition of marriage normalizes it.
If you are a follower of any of the 3 monotheistic faiths, how can you reconcile your adherence of those beliefs with acceptance of gay marriage? Do you pick the bits and pieces you like about your religion or accept the totally of it based on your reasoning that it is a valid faith?
Personally, I believe homosexuality is a sin just as fornication is or adultery or for that matter cheating, stealing, lying etc. etc.
But people are all sinners. Everybody does all those things. Its acceptance and normalization of it that is the difference.
Think about this; sexual relations before marriage is not allowed in any of the 3 aforementioned faiths.
But its been normalized. Look around you in any Western society. See whats happening.
Here in the US, look at all the single moms with kids from different fathers. And furthermore think about, the slow degeneration of society as a whole.
No father? Girls with daddy issues....
No mother? Depressed and self loathing boys.....
The cycle repeats....
IMO theres definitely some sort of political agenda driving the acceptance of gay marriage.
I don't believe in punishing people for it in any way. Perhaps equal legal rights for same sex partners.
And certainly no actual punitive actions of any sort.
But to normalize it? No.
