half a dozen of one 6 of the other
Because heteros can already get married. There's no change there. Allowing gay marriage would be a change.
Either I am losing something in the translation or this statement is missing something.
Allowing gay marriage would be a change. Yes for Homosexuals, but where is the change for Heterosexuals? The Heterosexual marriage doesn't change, or if it does, how?

Re: half a dozen of one 6 of the other
People fighting change, by voting against homo marriage, is not necessary hating the sinner.
so they don't hate the sinner, they just hate anyone who disagrees with them.

The harm comes in exposing a child to that which is considered perverse.
The point is that they are going to be exposed to it whether they want to or not. To me,I feel it is better for the child to know what is perverse and why and how to protect themselves to the perversion and its consequences. Ignorance is not bliss.

That is one prong. Another is to prevent the normalisation of that which is considered perverse in the first place.
And what correlates what is perverse and what is not. What is normal?

That is the point. worldviews are just that, worldviews. One person's views on something can in no way be made to confirm to all. If you don't like something, that is your privilege, but it can't discriminate against others, when that worldview isn't affected by another's.

disagree with the idea that a society should put their stamp of approval on a perverted lifestyle and calling it OK and normal in the name of being politically correct.
Show me where in anything, other than your book of myths, that homosexuality is perverted.

I see no need to answer this since frako, onifre & jar have answered it better than I could. I agree with them.

Re: Before you rest your case ...
So you are then saying it's alright to hate the sinner when voting.

Re: reasoning?????
Assuming homosexual marriage is sinful
That is your 1st problem, an assumption. What your assmption is, is irrelevant to lawmaking. Can a murder suspect be convicted on someone's assumption that the defendant committed the act? You need evidence that there is something wrong with homosexual marriage, which, thus far, is not coming.

Re: reasoning?????
If society takes something instituted by God with the purpose of establishing the shape of society per his desire then it does indeed become societies problem.
God dealt with the Babel Tower at societal level.
People were getting married long before your god was even known, as for the tower of babel, more babbling from a bronze aged myth

Re: No one can give a reason
Is working to prevent the propagation of sin necessarily a hateful act?
No, providing what you are preventing is truly a sin, which has not been shown. Because you see something as sinful doesn't make it so.

Re: Lemons suck
Wrong. You (or someone else) needs to show why my working towards a prohibition of gay marriage is necessarily hateful.
Because it is denying the rights of one group on religious grounds, and no other reason.

Re: No one can give a reason
Well, no what? It says plain as day homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Might I ask whatsoever does this have to do with hating the sin but loving the person. It every instance you show that you hate both the sin and the sinner. Whether the homosexual will inherit the Kingdom of God, if there is such a thing, is irrelevant to the premise.
