I think its great more and more countries are opening up to same sex marriage. I don't know why some people have a problem with gay marriage. Anyway congrats ireland, welcome to the club!

I find, and I'm been involved with this most of my life, that they are usually VERY PERSONAL reasons if someone is against it.  Either themselves or someone very close to them - take 'Dr.' Laura Schlesinger - she wasn't anti gay at all till someone pointed out her kid was like the gayest acting kid they had ever met.  Suddenly she goes anti gay.  Then mega super anti gay.

I would be curious to sit quietly and have a talk with some of the people on this thread that are so anti gay or terrified by it.  If you aren’t gay, then same sex marriage doesn’t directly effect you – maybe a sibling or someone you would like to see married.

Some places still do not let women use birth control or even vote, drive or hold a job.  I think it's crazy, but we still need civilization to evolve.

 

 

You aren't taught how to be gay or straight

You are taught how to be hateful

 

Which is why it's "personal" when something happens.

You are raised by a family, and weather that family teaches you acceptance or teaches you hate is how you generally grow up.
