I've never really got my head round the objections
I have never really gotten my head around the Christian objections to homosexuality/gay marriage. I wish someone sensible (rather than the rabid homophobes that normally present their ideas in the media) could explain.
I can follow the first step very easily - the Bible says that homosexuality is wrong. Ok, fine. If that's true then Christians who believe that shouldn't be gay or get married to someone of the same sex.
How does that then lead to trying to dictate what is legal/illegal for non-Christians? This is the part that I don't get at all. Is it a simple defence mechanism because they feel that millions of Christians would suddenly turn gay and get married if it was legal?
Or do they really feel that by denying someone marriage they can turn them straight?
Or is it simply that they feel anything non-Christian should be illegal?
I wish someone could explain what exactly people hope to achieve?
