ok lets step back and consider
How do we determine that homosexuality is "immoral and sickening"? Either the sexual acts, the relationships, or the idea of gay marriage. Any of them.
taking the easy word first .. sickening ... well thats a personal subjective view .. i personally find the idea of shooting wild animals for sport very sickening .. but it is popular in many nations , bull fighting i find sickening , the act of sex by two men .. no not sickening .. i would not chosse to watch it but there are many more comman human acts that i would make greater effoert to avoid ..
so sickening is to personal a call to be a label to stick om the gay act .
immoral .. now even in the vast forums i think no one has a set in stone set of morals that everyone can agree on ....
eg thou shall not kill ....nice easy moral standpoint..... well ,unless they are the enermy ,or an invader , or a convicted murderer , or a heritic , or they do not agree with your religion at all ....
given the problems with such a simple moral question , how can the love between two people be immoral because they are the same sex , and in private have sex .??~?
now to the question of marriage .. here there is the problem of the religious usage of the word .. to hjave religious gay marriage is a matter for a church to deside , ALL religions impose limits on the freedom of its members ..so its up to the church .
marriage as a civil union is the right of all citizens , IF all are equal ... and that is a test of a nations freedom and equality ...
you cannot bans something that you do not like , without allow someone else to ban what they dislike
if you ban gay marriage , the let me ban what i dislike , private gun ownership , cars that can exced the speed limit , all forms of organised religion , being impolite to others , celery , horse racing ...i could go on .......
