Please, tell us more!

Sure!! Have Hillary run on forcing Christians to bake gay wedding cakes !

Can't wait .

Under the equal rights theories, your second grade home room teacher can be a man who wears a dress, heels and a wig.

Well, that's just ridiculous. Flats are more appropriate for a day in the classroom.

You can use humor to deflect but can you write a rationale response to this?

Gays as a protected class means transmen in primary schools

I don't care a fig about the gender identity of my child's teachers. If they are smart, competent and have the personality and emotional intelligence to deal with wee ones that's all that matters. You need to educate yourself PP. Comments like yours make it eminently clear why we must have equal civil rights for all.

You think a man so profoundly disturbed as to adopt transvestitism as his lifestyle will have the emotional intelligence to deal with small children, and you think small children can deal with this?

Or a woman so against God's creation so as to cut off her breasts and have a doctor fabricate a male sex organ could possibly have the emotional intelligence to deal with small children, and small children with her?

Wow.

I would prefer a compassionate transgendered person educate my children over a bigot.

+1. I have no problem with my kids knowing that transgendered people exist and are human beings. Because they actually live in a world where transgendered people exist and are human beings.

Christian people do need to stand up: to protest the ignorant idea that homophobia is somehow "the Christian perspective" or "Biblical." It is neither.

Mainline Protestant denominations (those with the most educated clergy) understand more and more that the Biblical basis for gay condemnation is flimsy and downright wrong. Praise be to God for opened minds and hearts.

I'm not sure how, in 2015, people - especially Christians, whose gospel is love and grace - justify such hateful and unnecessary bigotry. Speak up, Christians, and speak out against attitudes like the OP's. Our LGBT brothers and sisters need us.

Being against gay "marriage" is not homophobia. It is not a marriage.

You can repeat this as often as you want, but it doesn't change the fact that your opinion is only your opinion. The majority of people do not agree with you. And the majority of people don't think that your opinion should be legislatively enforced. Sorry!

Not in your eyes, and maybe not in the eyes of your church. But it is in the eyes of the government. And I genuinely don't understand why that's a problem for you.

This is just an awesome thread. Keep going OP!

Ummm, yes it is. I have a certificate of marriage from DC Bureau of MARRIAGE saying that my wife and I are married. There are plenty of heterosexual couples who have the same certificate and were married by the same person who performed our ceremony. Are we all not married? Please explain.

Let's be clear, OP. No one is saying you or your church need to recognize any marriage as valid. If you and your church want to believe that no same-sex couples are married in the eyes of your god, that's perfectly fine. As an analogy, the Catholic church doesn't consider my wife and I married, because I'm not Catholic. That's fine by me, because I don't need the Catholic church's blessing. But as far as the DC government and the rest of society is concerned, we're married. Same with all the same-sex marriages. No one's forcing you personally to agree they're married, but by the same token, you cannot prevent the rest of us from treating them as married. That freedom is what the Constitution guarantees all of us.

Why can't you just live your own life without concerning yourself with how others choose to live theirs? Honestly, how does gay marriage directly impact you? I just don't understand.

+100 I am just baffled. Is OP a troll?

havent read this whole thing but this is a decent summary.

im fine with gay marriage. where it would cross the line is making other religious institutions recognize it. even in my support of gay marriage, i dont believe the government should force my church to recognize a gay marriage. i hope that people dont think that this is where its all heading, because its not. it should never happen or be considered.

I guess the small town pizza parlor getting harassment and death threats is going insane too, right?

Nope, they're just getting tons of cash from their fellow bigots.

I won't rest until gays and lesbians share the same sense of unending doom and misery as heterosexual married couples.

I agree. The easiest way to stop gays from having sex is letting them get married.

My endgame is to not restrict something has zero bearing on my life, but means the world to someone else.
