What does it mean to endorse homosexuality? To go to their same sex weddings?
Wasn't directed and me but I will answer .... If I was invited to their wedding I would stand with them in their acknowledgement of their love and devotion to each other as I have in male/female weddings I attended.
Why does this bother some people so much ? You would never be invited to a same sex wedding so you would never have to suffer through it ...
I don't understand why so many homosexuals love to throw around the word "bigot" if someone doesn't want to endorse homosexuality.
Many view it as unnatural behavior, it's really that simple.
It is really not that hard to understand if you actually try.
You can think what you want to about homosexuals. When you believe that your personal opinion gives you the authority to restrict a homosexual person's access to equal rights you have crossed the line into bigotry.
For example, I consider anyone that uses a Bronze Age book of fairy tales as a guide for who can and can't get married to be an idiot that should be kept locked up for their own safety. I view them all as rubes and simpletons, and I find their lack of rational thought to be unnatural. I have an unrestricted right to that opinion and the US Constitution protects my right to air it in public if I so desire.
If I took that personal belief further and asserted that anybody that believed in the literal existence of a zombie carpenter with an invisible sky daddy shouldn't be able to get married that would be bigotry.

If the woman marries anyone other than the man her father chose for her, she has already defiled the true traditional marriage standards.
Also, there must be transfer of property between the man and the woman's father depending on the cultures involved.

Reason: additions
Those are the young "I kissed a girl and I liked it" crowd. These are not lesbians..they are just experimenters in affection...what makes you think that these two straight woman are hard core lesbians. Funny - it looks like one woman kissing a mirror...Maybe just maybe this whole gay thing is about falling deeply in love with YOURSELF!

According to the same book that many people use as their basis for opposing gay marriage if a man finds a virgin and rapes her he only has to give her father 50 shekels (about $15) to buy the right to marry her. The book is silent with respect to the ability of the woman to refuse to participate in this form of traditional marriage, but it is not hard to guess from the overall content of the entire tome.

If you believe homosexuality is unnatural (which by the definition of unnatural it is not) Then YOU are free to not be involved with someone of the same sex.
However the rest of us who actually know that homosexuality happens in nature, thus is in fact natural, can do as we please.

Many view interracial marriages as unnatural behavior. Do they get a pass for being a bigot because they won't endorse those relationships because they don't see it as natural? Sure hope not.
