Spamlet, if I was trying to force churches to marry gay people then, yes, the actions would be equivalent.

Many religious people want to prevent gay people from getting married. I want to allow gay people to be married. See how my belief is less restrictive than their belief AND doesn't require require anything at all from people who don't want to be in a same sex union?

The belief of some religious folks, if legislated, would require all people to conform whether they agree or not and no one could enter into a same sex marriage.

My belief, if legislated, would not require anyone who disagreed to conform. No one would be required to enter into a same sex marriage.

for Andie, b2. I was trying to explain their point of view. If they believe homosexuality is a choice, can't they disagree with the choice - loosilu Jul 17, 14:51 24

  - they don't think "your very being" is part of it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 14:56 22

        If you don't think what your brother himself is doing is immoral, I don't think it's an acurate analogy. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 15:19 11
        
        it's far more accurate than redheads. it's something he chose. - loosilu Jul 17, 15:21 10

        if had not been born red, it would be accurate. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 17, 15:27 8
        
        see, except they're wrong about that. - Reagen Jul 17, 15:28 7

        so, ok. you're saying they can be hateful without knowing it. - loosilu2 Jul 17, 16:04 2
        
        not as much as you would think -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 16:14

        and how would your brother react if you told him you think he's in a cult? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 15:15 1
        
        first off, he's heard it plenty of times already and I'm sure he has a form answer. Second, I would express my opinion far more respectfully. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 15:16
