Okay, stop saying you love me, even if you mean it in a Christian way. It's still f*cking ludicrous. For the umpteenth time, HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A LIFESTYLE ANY MORE THAN HETEROSEXUALITY IS. And, for the last time, it is hateful and discriminatory to say that the institution of marriage is an exclusive club designed for heterosexuals only. It's as though heterosexuals are better than homosexuals and are the only ones entitled to that institution, which is one that is very meaningful to many, including me. And, it is hateful to say you are against my "lifestyle" because it's a part of who I am! It is me! I cannot be separated from it! I can't say "I love you, but I totally disapprove of your straight lifestyle, which is against my beliefs," because that would be absolutely ridiculous, and it's the same damn thing and you just refuse to see that. Even you said that you think people are born gay. Then it obviously is a part of who I am. Sorry, if you hate homosexuality, you hate me. I am one of them. Stop trying to separate them so you can sleep better at night and convince yourself that you're doing right by your religion and not hating. Please. And, in addition to all of that MARRIAGE IS A CIVIL INSTITUTION AND NOT A RELIGIOUS ONE, so the whole debate is pointless. Whether or not I can get married has absolutely nothing to do with what the Bible says about it, or any other holy book.

This is the last time I'm saying all of this to you. You should have understood already, since people like Krista and Stew have already explained it much better as I know they can.

Well I’m not going to apologize any longer for having a different view of gay marriage then you do. And I’m not going to apologize for your lack of reality if you actually think the majority of American supports same-sex marriage.

BUT, that said. I don't hate you. And I really would like to get along...so see you on the FM boards hopefully!
