why do you feel the need to force your choices for yourself on others?
I think it's mostly personal validation and/or the fear of 'being wrong.' (Or the fear of "having other people think that you are wrong.")
It is a basic instinct.
It is instinctual for animals to want to act the same and have other people think that they "fit in." The whole strength-in-numbers idea.
The fear of ostracization is very basic and can become very large.
It takes the use of our (some would even say "God-given") intellect in order to overcome these basic fears/feelings.
For those who can do this without much effort, it can be difficult to understand the ideas going through the minds of those who find this difficult to overcome.
Hopefully those that rebuke and restrict gay marriage on what they think are Christian terms can follow Jesus to overcome their human-animalistic fears.
I think it is very obvious that Jesus would gladly marry gay people.
What is the more important sacrament for following Chirst and getting to reside with God in heaven? Marriage or Baptism?
I think the answer of "Baptism" is obviously correct.
Do you think Jesus would baptise a gay man?
I think the answer is a very obvious "of course he would."
If Jesus would baptise a gay man, and baptism is a more important sacrament than marriage... then obviously Jesus would also have no problems marrying two gay men, or two gay women.
Gay marriage and gay sex are not sins.
If anyone thinks they are, they are ignoring (or possibly manipulating) Jesus's commandments to Love God and to Love thy Neighbour.
Restricting two men from being happy by having sex and getting married?
That's definitely a sin.
No love for God there, and certainly no love for your neighbours.
