@Joelcool7:
No offence but what oppressive law forces you to denounce your faith? Which oppressive law forces you to convert to Christianity?
When Christians are passing laws forcing others to conform to their religious mores (like forbidding same sex marriage) they're forcing their religious beliefs on others.
Their are more reasons than religion to denounce gay marriage. Think of the children for example, Gay couples don't want to just have recognition. Many want children, teaching those children to be gay which many homosexual couples do is wrong.
What? First of all children have nothing to do with the marriage issue (you don't have to be married to have kids or adopt kids), so there's no point in you bringing it up. Second, you can't "teach" anyone to be gay or straight or any other sexual orientation. You don't seem to know much about sexual orientation. Seriosuly, what homophobic propaganda are you reading?
Many people aren't religious biggots they just have the opinion that homosexuality is not natural.
You can hold whatever opinion you want to, but that doesn't mean it has any grounds in reality.
So in Canada children from Kindergarten onwards get brainwashed to think homosexuality is normal and natural. These kids get taught its cool.
Considering all the kids who get bullied and commit suicide for being gay or being percieved as being gay, I doubt that most kids think homosexuality is "cool". And homosexuality IS normal and natural, so I don't see those kids being "brainwashed" with anyhing other than the truth. This is yet again another fact that contradicts your religion. Deal with it!
But to impose the minority beliefs on the majority is not democratic. No we should not persecute the minority but in a democratic society their views should not be imposed on the majority!
What views are impossed? Marriage is a private thing. It doesn't concern you that a gay coupld wanbt to get married. It's not any of your business. No one is imposing any minority beleifs on a majority, because whether gays marry or not is their business, not the majority's. However the Chrisitan majority are imposing their beleifs on gays by forbiddign them to marry, in other words by trying to control other people's lives. In a Democracy minority's must be protected from the tyranny of the majority.
