Thwowing out words like biggot in order to illicit a pavlovian responce is probobly easier than discussing the core beliefs of either side of the debate.


Core beliefs:
Christians think homosexuality is a sin and don't want to have gays marry because they see marriage as religious.

Gays see marriage as a right, since its officially sanctioned and license by the government, and gays want the same rights as everyone else.

The Republicans use the issue to drum up christians voters who might not care to vote otherwise, while the Democrats often pussyfoot (or "G-man Foot") out of dealing with the issue head on.

The truth is that gay marriage will not destroy society. Just the same as how gays being accepted by society has not destroyed us. All it will do is make gay people feel more like they are accepted and part of the world, not outcasts.
So-called christian values will not be harmed because 2 free-wheeling christians can wed and raise their kids same as before.
The only thing gay marriage hurts is religious pride. By making homosexuality completely acceptable the christians lose a villain to fight against, lose a rally cry.

and WBAM is a biggot.

Bow ties are coool.
