One thing I've never understood is why conservatives are so afraid of gay marriage? How does that effect their own marriage? Or will suddenly everybody turn gay just because they're allowed to marry? Does that mean that there are zillions of closets gays hidden in hetero couples?

I personally can't understand how a man could love a man but hey, if they feel like that, who am I to criticize or judge their love or what they do at home? That doesn't concern me any more like what my straight neighbors are doing, or not doing, in bed.

So seriously: why this irrational, unfounded fear? Or is it simply an expression of their 'disgust' of homosexuality? But even then, why do they care so much what other people do (at home)?

They can't bear anyone they don't approve of to find happiness, imo!

Would this not be better suited to either the "Politics" or the "Sexuality" boards?

But the question concerns the christian view? And christian views are defined by Christianity, no?

You said "conservatives".

Conservative isn't exclusively Christian.

Politics board.:cool:

I used 'conservatives' because I didn't want to use the word fundies ... so there are non-christian conservatives who feel threatened by gay marriage to? Do you feel threatened?

I keep hearing from various conservative ch-tians  that it will somehow undermine traditional marriage. I would love the ch-tians hear to tell us how it is.

One person,  on another board said homosexuality is wrong because they were having sex outside of marriage, that it is a sin, so why not let them get married?

I mean, I could understand that people think that it is wrong or a sin but why do they feel that the traditional form of marriage is threatened thereby?

Actually, there is a sexual orientation board and a christianity and homosexuality board wherein this question might be better discussed--simply because historical this question has caused flame wars.

I was looking for the christianity & homosexuality board but couldn't find it?
