Your church has no say in a legal state issued marriage license.

Over 7000 Churches in the US perform same-sex marriage. Stop going to a church that believes the ridiculous lies of a corrupted English Bible translation.

Homophobe | Define Homophobe at Dictionary.com
homophobe - definition of homophobe by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

If someone disagrees with gay marriage, they may be disagreeing with it, not because they are against equality, but for different reasons. It has nothing to do with who is better and who isn't.

I have discussed this with many people, and yes, some are bigoted/prejudices/intolerant/homophobic, and some others purely from the standpoint that marriage should simply be for opposite sexes. They also state that there should be a civil union for homosexuals, that grants all the rights and privileges that a married couple enjoys to the civil union.

Personally, I think we should just do away with the term marriage which is supposed to be a forever thing, (for better or worse), since 50% are dissolved anyways, and everyone have a civil union.

Btw, (just as an afterthought), if you are a homosexual, and you feel that someone is a homophobe because they don't want to change the definition of marriage to suit your demands, doesn't that make you a heterophobe? I means let's look at this terminology in the same aspect. YOU feel that they hate or dislike, or disagree with you, so they MUST be a homophobe, and since you obviously hate, dislike or disagree with them, you must be a heterophobe! What's good for the goose, must be good for the gander, right?

So, based on the exact same equality in terminology, how many heterophobes have been accusing others of being homophobes?
Sorry, but if you're against equality, you're homophobic. Scared of change of "tradition". Separate but equal is ridiculous. Nobody is changing the definition of your marriage, that's utterly ridiculous. Hence why it is homophobic. It's really not hard to see this. I'm all for heterosexual marriage, I just don't want one. Heterosexual marriage would not affect me. It's not my marriage.

PS. Dictionary definitions are pointless and utterly stupid in this discussion.

The Fact is that nobody is Homophobic because they don't support Homosexual Marriage and If by thinking so and calling people names it does make You Paranoid and very Childish just like a little kid on a playground. Very Silly really. I'm still waiting to hear what my stance is from you sense you think you know which is another sign of paranoia.
No. I didn't call you a child. I said it was childish, your behavior. The fact is that it's childish to be upset about what you are. You are homophobic. Just accept it and move on. I personally don't care if you're homophobic or not. It's your right as an American. I just think it's silly your against gay marriage and are trying not to be labeled a homophobe, it's like a racist saying he dislikes blacks in his neighborhood but isn't racist.

Denying and finding justification for equality and rights to your fellow American citizens.



THAT'S childish, selfish, and pathetic at its core. It's one thing to DISAGREE with something you "don't like" (for whatever reason). It's another to translate your personal feelings of dislike into a prohibition against others.


And no amount of mealy-mouthed lip service or cowardly justifications for such a stance will EVER change that. That you are more interested in not being cast as a "homophobe," or being called naaaaames because of your stance, rather than owning up to the fact that your stance is unjustifiable to any American who truly calls themselves a "patriot" or "liberty loving" speaks volumes, because inability to confront your own moral consistency shortcomings is ALSO the sign of a child.
Exactly.

I think nobody should get married and everyone has a civil union, does that mean I hate everybody?
