First Off: I'm straight.
I don't really belong here (a serious discussion forum that is), but I'll post my opinion anyway.
I have no problem with homosexuality or bisexuality, nor do I shun them or treat them any differently. I even take up for homosexuals or bisexuals when they get made fun of behind their backs. I tell the ones patronising of them that cowardice is probably worse than being gay, and then I call them a few names I won't list here because I want to keep as many asterisks, circumflex accents, ampersands, and parenthesis out of my posts as possible. All those symbols are ugly.
Anyway, everyone says that it's gross. While I admit that seeing two men having sex is not as fun as eating strawberries (<333 strawberries), it's my fault if I see it really. Unless someone tricks me into it by linking me to a google image search such as 'goatse' and 'lemonparty', it's my own fault. (PS: Don't google search for 'goatse' or 'lemonparty'.)
Indecent exposure laws are there to protect us from seeing these actions in public, where you can almost not avoid glancing. What people do behind their own closed doors is their own business, and does not concern anyone else besides the ones that are partaking in the 'action', and the Lord.
Now, my personal opinion.
-I can fully understand bisexual or homosexual women. I mean, honestly women are the most beautiful, attractive, and affectionate beings on this planet, and I'm saying this truthfully. I can not blame anyone for being attracted to women. I love women.
-I can not however, relate to bisexual or homosexual men, because I do not find males sexual attractive. I admit that EVERYONE (EVEN YOU) is a little bit gay. I'll admit that I can safely say I know when guys should be with a hot girl or not, by how they look and dress, but don't get me wrong. I'll never have a relationship with a man that passes low->normal friendship. (My best friend is a woman. <3 you.)
Edited to finish:
About marriage; It's a tricky issue. Many near-orthodox religious people believe by the laws of their book and accept anything else as horribly wrong. Whatever the Bible says about homosexuality is what the christians will think about it. (I haven't read the Bible, but it says something about being layed with another man, but I don't know the exact phrasing).
In my opinion, it boils down to freedom of religion. The only reason most people are complaining against it is because it is against THEIR OWN religion to allow this. I agree that marriage is a holy union between two people, but when convicts who murdered their ex-wifes get married again, I think that takes away the sanctity. Not just that as an example, but look.
I don't see why someone's religious beliefs or personal opinion should interfere with anyone else's rights in this country. I think anyone should be able to do as they want as long as it does not cause physical or mental anguish or harm to someone else. In this scenario, two men being wed can not cause physical or mental anguish in anyway. It just doesn't affect anyone else, it can't.
There is no way in my views that two men getting married will seperate you from your God. If you drift away from your God, sure you could blame it on this, but that's like blaming video games for teenage violence. There would be no direct correlation between the two occurances, and if you ever fall away from your god it is no one elses fault but your own.
