I feel that the one that created us is the one whose opinion matters the most.
Uffda stated it the best.
To me, if I have to turn my back on what the Bible says in order to gain the "respect" of people, then I won't do it.
Someone on this site refuses to respect me because I won't accept gay as "normal". If it comes down to him or God, I will stick with what God, my creator, says.
As was stated by others AND by me, I don't hate gay people. But their sin is sin. And whether or not you believe that says alot about your belief in the Holy Bible.
You can't just pick and choose what you want to accept from God's Holy word. Otherwise, how can you believe ANY of it?
The 10 commandments arn't the "10 suggestions", right?
If people are "born that way", then can't you say the same about people that want to have sex with children, or animals? They can make the same argument, that they can't control it, that they were "born with that feeling".
So how long will it be before they want the same "marriage" things?
I know, you say "that will NEVER happen!" But that was said about gay marriage and abortion less then 50 years ago.
So many so called "churches" have lowered their morals to gain membership, turning their backs on God. They no longer follow the Bible.
And that is a shame for this country.
