Yes. I do not believe I need a deity to be a part of my life to do the right thing.
I'm a Hindu but just like, so much yes.
Even if (and I think this is also messed up) you think that same-sex marriage goes against your personal religious convictions, you can still support it. Here's an interesting article by Mehdi Hasan - As a Muslim, I struggle with the idea of homosexuality – but I oppose homophobia
Earlier today I crunched the numbers, and found that 1,108,222,806 people live in countries where same-sex marriage is established in law. Note this includes Finland, in which the law does not come into effect until later this year, and all of Mexico, when actually while same-sex marriage is recognised nationwide it can only be routinely performed in certain states, and the federal district.
On the map below, the dark blue areas are where it's performed, the yellowy-brown areas are the ones where there have been at least 5 court orders for the state to institute it (basically couples have sued the state and been married by the courts, and the courts have ordered the state to legalise it) and the sandy ones have had 1-4 court orders.

My bet is on Taiwan being next - it's projected to be made law in March or April, although we're not 100% when it'll come into effect following that.
I'm asking if it should be legal according to people's opinions...better yet, if they could give me an explanation how gay-marriage can be reconciled with Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.
What is wrong with people who believe this?
United States.
In my opinion if 2 of the same sex love each other then they should be able to be together.
Do you have sexual relations with Lucifer?
Like how?
From a religious perspective, it isn't just a question of whether an individual believer thinks it's acceptable for themselves to enter a same-sex marriage; it's also a question of justifying the imposition of their personal religious rules on other people, including other members of their religion who feel differently and people who aren't even members of their religion.I don't know how it can be justified from a Christian, Jewish, or Muslim perspective so please help me out. Gratias!
