Every group of people has extremists and it's really unfortunate that they've dedicated their lives to making sure other people can't enjoy theirs.
I don't protest their churches or burn them down. Sort of just common courtesy, clearly they've never heard of live and let live. If there's one thing in this world that gets me fired up it's bible based hatred.

Same, if there's one thing I hate the most it is probably bible-inspired hatred. It just doesn't seem right that you would go to such extents against other human beings because of rules dictated in a book regardless of how 'holy' it is. Mind you, I have nothing against religious people. They can live their life however they want, and I try my utmost not to judge.

Both probably. I have no sympathetic feelings about it. However I'm not opposed either. Marriage predates Christianity and therefore any argument about the morality or ethics of a man and a man being married based on religious views is immediately discarded in my view. And then there's the concept of marriage itself that to me is little more than paper and a party. What does marriage actually symbolize? Monogamy? Well, if you're not a slut, you could just...you know, be faithful and poof! Same thing.
To me the only reason it matters if one is married in this society is due to legality and financial purposes. At which point, I would tend to favor gay marriage because there are many legal and financial benefits to being married; benefits, taxes, etc. I don't think there should be any specific discrimination based on sexual orientation in view of the government. The government was established on the idea of freedom and equality, and though the US is rather hypocritical of that philosophy on a daily basis, once that's limited and actually fought for to deny two people of any race, gender, etc. to be married, the entire government becomes somewhat laughable and even more pathetic than it already is.
And then there's the personal level that it has no effect on me so why should I care? American values right? All I really care about is being able to do whatever the fuck I want as long as it doesn't affect anyone else that I'm doing so. And in that regard, sure, gay marriage is fine with me, don't rightly give a fuck.
