I think anyone who deftly opposes same sex marriage/relations whatever,... because of what the religious sect tells them to believe, are strictly intelligently inept to the point of embarrassment.
One of my siblings is gay, very successful, very well respected in the community and just laughs at the abound ignorance of those so almighty that they can not only judge, but also try and determine how she is to live her life.
When people , who are anti-gay go on a rant about how gays will bring about the end of the world (their world), how God says it's a sin, how the normal family unit(?) will be destroyed etc,....I sit back and revel in the sheer ignorance until,...I tell them my sister is gay. The looks of disbelief, the feeling of both feet in their mouths, the stumbling backtracking that launched such incredulous statements of intolerance are now masked with a sea of redness awash on their faces.
And all the while, I sit back and realize how some people have no identity, no opinions other than what they hear and what they want to believe, how non accepting they are to change, how for one minute they fail to realize everyone is different and how pathetic it is that people would rather follow like sheep rather than lead with integrity, pride and tolerance.
Very sad to the point of apathy I must say.
