I couldn’t care less far more important issues to worry about than the way people want to live their lives.
@95J4F693yrs3Y
Get rid of the straight people
@9FGPFXV2yrs2Y
Yes, I do think that should be allowed. I'm not asking anyone to like it but at least respect it. Gay Christians should also be allowed in Church.
@9WGFBVF6mos6MO
It should be legal for respecting those who support it, but I don't support it since I'm a Christian.
@9G27TYV2yrs2Y
If a civil union and a marriage is the same thing under the law then why does it matter to change the name.
@9FGS9TW2yrs2Y
Marriage should not be recognised by law or the government; however, the refusal of a church or other religious authority to recognise same-sex marriage should be recognised as discrimination, with civil consequences
@9FGNRG32yrs2Y
Neither support or don’t support this view
