~1/2 of all US marriages end in divorce. You ever heard of a happy divorce?
Some states see fight for right to same-sex divorce | Fox News

Sanctity of marriage and all that.

I don't think that conservatives "hate" homosexuals. I've always been a pro-marriage equality kinda dude, but a good friend of mine is a fairly ardent pro-traditional marriage guy and he and I have the same gay friends. He just doesn't support it because the catholic church doesn't. Which I think is a little silly, but it's not for adherants to that religion.

Not supporting something isn't tantamount to hating it.

There is no logic in your post. Besides, I don't hate gays at all, even though I do not support "marriage equality"

Think harder. The logic is self evident. If you don't like someone, let them have access to something that will hurt them for years, if not decades. If you hate someone, denying this is dumb.

Fire burns and leaves a mark. Denying someone you hate from having access to fire is stupid. Let them have it. Let them get burned.

Yes, I have heard of happy divorces.

People are waking up to the religious hypocrisy of marriage for life. People have kids, then are moving to a single part of life now.

Marriage should have to be renewed every 5 years

Still flawed logic

You don't think gay people are deserving of equal treatment under the law, but you don't hate them. Sure....

I know you, as a gay man, see things differently than I do, but I do not hate gays. If you don't believe me, then that is not my problem, it's yours.

I think the Op is mixing up hate with belief marriage is between a man and woman. I guess if I don't get same thing in life as others they hate me; get a gripe.

Can you tell me why you don't believe gays should get equal treatment of marriage? I don't want pedophilia to be legal. Why? Because I don't like pedophiles.
