Well, you can say the question is for such and such all you want. When you post on these boards, it is open to everybody who wants to share.

That said, go ahead and do your poll. I sure hope it doesn't stir up more hatred in the world...there is already enough of it.

By the way, I have quite a few gay friends. I am one of those "strange" creatures God put on this planet. You see, I love people no matter who they are in love with.

Then this question is even sillier. Because OP stated at least twice he only wanted people to respond if they were strongly against gay marriage. Then he said he supports it, yet he attempted to ban others with the same views as he from sharing here on this thread. Curious

I assume the point was that the OP was trying to get people who feel that way to explain it so that he could understand.

Let's NOT be afraid to celebrate our differences as well...from a divorced twice lady, who will not marry again. I am sorry, but I am tickled pink to see gay couples marry, I support them-but let's face it, there are differences between a heterosexual couple and gay couple, just as there are differences between a two parent family or one parent family. It is what it is.

There are differences between all marriages - that's the diversity that makes life interesting.

We actually do not have any gay friends, all of our friends have been married for more than 20 years to the opposite sex.
I would venture to guess that we would attend a wedding if invited because honestly we don't care who anyone else wants to marry or have sex with.
Their decisions do not affect our lives directly and if they are happy that is what matters.

Sorry, I answered the poll figuratively before I read that you are looking for people who are strongly against it. I read it as a hypothetical. Meh.
