A few others and I have been trying to point out that the Bible(or any other religious text that speaks against homosexuality) is relevant in this issue. The Bible is the basis of some people's belief and views. To quote SecretMethod:

Whether I agree with homosexual marriage or not, we have a representative democracy in place which allows for the majority, in most cases, to vote the people in office that represent their beliefs. If the majority believes that homosexual marriages are wrong, then so be it. If I disagree I'll keep voting for someone who believes they're right and will work to change that in hopes more people will do the same.

So in essence if the majority doesn't agree with homosexual marriages they will put someone in office that thinks the same way.

What about people who say that, "I've found God and I know my previous life style was wrong. Homosexual is a sin and I've changed". I've seen a couple of shows like that in the past on Rikki Lake and Sally Jessie Raphael.

Agreed, but I've never thought the issue would be solved here anyway
. I personally just see this thread as a way to express opinons and views. And also as a way to explain those opinons and views.
