@Ned- From what you've said so far, your reasoning is that two people of the same gender cannot reproduce, and that it goes against your religion.

1.) Do all married couples reproduce? No. Basically you're saying they should, and (depending on how strongly you hold that reason) you're almost saying they should by a legal standpoint, as that's how you're opposing it.

2.) I'm not disrespecting your religion, or anything else, saying this (admins, let this slide once if at all possible?) the Christian belief may be against it, but is Christianity the only religion? There are many, and why should we let one dominate above the rest in any case? Also, if you want to take one thing seriously, and use it as a main source to back you up on this, it would only be fair to go by everything in the Bible. You may be surprised at a few instructions, not advisories, but instructions from it. For example: a woman should have her hand cut off if she defends her husband. I know that isn't a quote, but I can provide one. People may not follow some because they find them extreme. Well, in a separate way, it's extreme to have a marriage-whether the same gender or not-illegal.

3.) A few things you said in between points draw my attention. "Gays are destroying this country." And how? Let me just say that struck a nerve. Homosexuals are victims to law and criticism. They have done nothing but marry who they love. How exactly is that "destroying this county"? Please share, I'm interested in what led you to make that harsh accusation. You also said the north is democratic and the south is Christian and republican, and that states would be glad to secede. I'm shocked that anyone would seemingly want this country to be divided over gay marriage. You do realize an occurence that large would likely result in a civil war? This would likely cause chaos among us, and possibly riots and strikes in what are now friendly neighborhoods.

I support gay marriage, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Two people that love each other that happen to be of the same gender. That's all it is. I am immensely curious as to what made this natural matter become known as a problem.
