Wow, you guys just want it all, don’t you? The fake spiritual rewards of maintaining a homophobic political opinion, but none of the consequences?

How about no. How about you accept the consequences of your stupid beliefs? How about you are confronted with how genuinely awful your opinion is every time you talk to a sensible human?

You’ve framed this as some sort of 50/50 opinion battle, but it’s not, for the following reasons (although there are many more, but they probably won’t register):

There is literally no sensible reason why anyone would oppose gay marriage. All of the “arguments” are easily dismissed or demonstrably false. All of them.

If a referendum rolls around before the government pushes it through, no one’s asking your opinion on gay marriage. No one’s asking you to “support homosexuality”, whatever the hell that means. They’re asking is whether or not other people (not you) should have legal access to it.

For instance, I have a very negative opinion about fundamentalist religion people being allowed to megaphone their gibberish in public places, but I’ll never vote against it. I will always vote in favour of someone’s right to express whatever they like in public places. It’s part of the cost of being a grown-up.

In any case, basic human rights can’t be subject to a vote.

The main reason Christians are regarded as small-minded homophobes on this issue is because if all the gays in the world got married tomorrow, it wouldn’t affect you at all. It has literally zero effect on anything you do or say or think. Your life would have as many gays in it as it does now, doing exactly what they’re doing now.
