Willie, I cannot make the corruptive nature of forcing Christians to accept homosexuality more clear.

Homosexuality is a belief system in total opposition to Biblical teachings, that would be legally forced on Christians through American law, if enacted into law. That clearly infringes on the freedom of Christians (and others who reject gay marriage) to practice their religion and what they believe.

Islamic marriage (which is arguably an offshoot of Judao-Christian teachings, and largely recognizes the Bible, although with some clear distortions), Hindu marriage, and secular marriage, are ALL still within the common definition of one man and one woman.

Being one-man/one-woman in their standard as well, these other religious cultures are therefore compatible with Christian marriage, within the law.
