There is no perfect justice in this world. I'm happy you realize that. I know you don't care about my opinion and I don't care about yours. I tried. I sincerely wanted someone to explain why gay marriage is a human right, but no one could do it. You call this tyranny, but I wonder why I should support something that cannot be explained.

By the way, Christians currently feel just as unpopular as you; we are under constant attack.

Enjoy the wait. I fear your wait will be over sooner rather than later.

Belgium!

Darn it all, why are none of these places falling apart for letting gays marry?! It's almost like it doesn't hurt society at all!
It takes time.

I hope sarcasm brings you joy --- you seem to have a lot of it.

That's right. The benefits are more important than the actual marriage.

Under constant attack? What constant attack? Funny, the Christian group at my college doesn't have their posters ripped off the walls like the LGBT group does.

We want to be treated equally as heterosexuals are treated. If I am devoted to a woman, like you would be to a wife, why should I be treated differently? If our relationship was filled with the same amount of love and devotion, why shouldn't we be entitled to the same federal rights and protections you heterosexuals take for granted?

Just because heterosexuals may do stupid things is not a compelling reason to believe gay marriage is a human right. Surely, a similar percentage of homosexuals are just as stupid. Britney Spears is not the poster child for marriage.

This is pretty much what happened with polygamy. The practice was ended because we believe in submitting to the laws of the land. I would continue to believe marriage was a human right, but understand that Gods laws and human laws do not always match up.

I wish I could go to your school. The exact opposite happens where I am.
