I couldn’t care less far more important issues to worry about than the way people want to live their lives.
@95J4F692yrs2Y
Get rid of the straight people
@9FGPFXV1yr1Y
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.
@9WGFBVF1mo1MO
It should be legal for respecting those who support it, but I don't support it since I'm a Christian.
@9WNJ3KQ4wks4W
I think it should be legal for people who support it, but I don't support it because I'm a Christian.
@9WJS7VS4wks4W
I think same sex marriage should be legal, but I think churches should have the right to refuse it, and it should not be wildly publicised all the time.
@9K62L5Y9mos9MO
No I don't support it, However regardless of what I do and do not support I will not interfere in any person's relationship with one another or go and share my opinion as to why I think it is wrong.
