There definitely isn't any point in debating with someone who refuses to adhere to basic logic. Logic rarely kills anyone- lack of logic has, however, as stupid, arrogant decisions are often made that cost lives.
There's more to life than "respecting opinions", and it doesn't make you a better person just for claiming to "respect my opinion" when I do not respect yours. There are real issues in the real world, and sometimes agreeing and disagreeing isn't enough, it has to be determined what is actually right. Having the guts to stand up for what's right is often preferable to "agreeing to disagree" - which leads nowhere.
There is no place for relativism here. Gay Marriage either works or it doesn't. The majority has no right to control the minority in a way that doesn't affect them. Gay Marriage has been successfully legalised in various countries around the world, and it hasn't hurt a soul.
And that's pretty much the end of it.
If you TRULY believed in respecting everyone equally, then you wouldn't "disagree" with this, seperating your personal preference from what you think should happen.
So I'm going to take your "look at me I'm so respectful" with a bag or two of salt.
