If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

Not only are they Christian (i said not to mention religion in the title), but this is a paper that tends to have conservative views on things, so are obviously anti-gay. These people are only against gays adopting because of the fact they are Christian. This article mentions very little that suggests having gay parents damages a child physcologically, if anything all it says is that a religious couple is against gays having civil relations/ marriages and being able to adopt, because of there faith. Also, I hope you realise the couple were traditional christian too, not gay. It proves my point that only the religious are bothered about repressing gays and there rights. Try and find an Atheist with similiar views.

Why are Christians even against gays, what happened to love thy neighbour? in that case

That wasn't the point.

Again (take a breath in... and out): people are being punished for their beliefes -- that's a sign of an ideology on the govermental level. An ideology and propaganda of tolerance, individual freedom or whatever, ideology that eventually has gone against the very basis of any society (which is family, and a traditional one) over smth as negligible as homosexuals (and by sheer numbers they are negligible), who not even worth a discussion and mainly just a trolling point for the media. Look above, 300 000 are protesting against gay marriage, which is huge for 2.5 mln plus smth Paris in France, that have unprecedented high "homosexuals acceptance" rate. I'm actually surprised, I thought Europe was done. Doubt all of them are religious nuts and, as you say, "anti-gay". Are you going to ignore their opinion?

If you cannot understand why traditional family has an undoubtful advantage over homosexual, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain. The reasoning here goes beyond any ideology, since it's based on the way the society works. And btw I'm an atheist, so you couldn't say I'm "anti gay marriage" due to religious views I do not have. Probably I'm just older than you, a father and generaly more conservative (was like you 10 years ago).

well i guess they shouldn't be discriminated against for religious reasons, they have a right adopt like anyone else. It's not like they would be bad parents (they don't look like bad parents anyway). But saying that, is this any different than discriminating gays from adopting because they are gay?

But i'll be honest with you, i find gay relationship and adoption a bit strange, something don't seem right about it. But despite that, i'm willing to tolerant them and just believe they should be treated like everyone else when it comes to any issue. And i tend to agree, a more traditional family is better but it's just not right to stop a gay family from forming, it's there choice at the end of the day. 

Also, i don't see myself becoming more conservative until i'm very old probably.
