[quote=Anonymous]I am not a practicing Muslim (anymore), but I know many who are, including family members.

Most (especially those who were born in the US) support same-sex marriage because of at least one of the following reasons:

- They know and respect that US is not a theocracy, and personal religion cannot dictate civil rights no matter if they believe homosexuality is innate, or a choice
- They believe people are "born that way" and deserve to have their love recognized as equal
- Same-sex marriage doesn't hurt anyone. If it's a "sin" then let people make their choices, and let God be the judge
- Straight people don't exactly have some perfect moral record when it comes to the marriage choices/reasons, so the morality factor is pointless. It's strictly an equal rights issues

And as mentioned, there is a difference between civil/legal marriage, and religious marriage. I know of no Muslim who supports marriage equality, and argues for forcing imams (or priests, rabbis, etc) to perform religious ceremonies for same-sex couples. [/quote]
