Not supporting gay marriage is hating homosexuals.
concur with this and want to add to it. For you christians you, as part of your christian culture interact on a societal level with action you make. rick with your new position in life as a religious leader now have a political stance on every action you make wheather you like it or not.
Stating this the issue of "should homosexuality exist' is such a strong and central issue in the chrisitan community that NO CHRISITAN at this point is afforded the luxary of a netural position, espicially a religious leader in that faith.
You are either against or for homosexuals existing. Nothing inbetween. If you take a postion of passivley not addressing the issue but accpeting the status qou on the issue taken by christians than by default to the current direction of christianty you are against homosexulaity existing.
If you will not marry gays it isn't because they won't be legally recognized. UU's marry gays all the time and it isn't recognized by the state.
whatever you or any of the other religious leaders (rf has alot of religious leaders on here), make realize if you are in a religion that by and large is anti-homosexual if you avoid the issue you default by association of your organization to their status qou, which in the case of christianty is anti-homosexual.
