I know I'm a start some shit but Marriage is a religous concept anyway. So I oppose Gay marraige myself even tough I am half gay and am not religious.

but I think marraige in general is an outdated concept that has no place in modern American society (whether straight or gay)

but I do think its wrong for it to be law to ban gay marrage

but even if I had a friend who voted that way who cares not every friend needs to agree everything or anything that you do
 
Everyone can have their own opinion.I wouldn't stop being someones friend because they didn't agree with me.
 
Friends no, acquaintance/whatever..maybe. Equal rights is what it's about; marriage for all, or marriage for none.

It'd be hard to tell if I made good friends with someone, and then found out their views though =\
 
Yes, because friendships are built on more than agreeing on all the same issues in life.
 
I already am. If I'm going to insist that they "accept me as I am", the least I can do is return the favor.

Marriage should be abolished.

This is very close to my view.

I'm sorry, but until just a couple of years ago, most gays would never have supported "gay marriage", outside of a few conservatives like Andrew Sullivan. Certainly, none of the major gay groups like HRC, etc. supported the idea.

At that time (the 90's, I guess) it was still conceivable to visualize moving beyond "straight" society's concept of coupling....
 
I voted yes in the poll here but knowing this about a person certainly makes me judge them differently than I would those who feel that all people deserve equal treatment. I try to be accepting of all people I come in contact with and while I can tolerate differences in belief I can't say that I'd be as close to people who are against gay marriage than those who are. It all depends on how open minded a person is. If you're just blatantly ignorant then I have no room in my life for you.
 
Yes.

When a state votes 70% to 30% to ban gay marriage, does that mean that 7 in 10 people hate gays and want us all to burn? No. It means that most people are more than a little scared of something they don't understand, and they're easily swayed by the activist bigots who actually do hate us.

Making ourselves known through friendships is the only way to reduce that fear.
 
Yes. Most people who oppose gay marriage seem to be doing so out of religious sentiment and they're very welcome to believe what they wish. What angers me is when people claim that the entire debate is about religion and has no place in politics. There are two marriages, one a religious ceremony and the other a legally binding contract overseen by the government. I want the contract, I could care less about the religious aspect. I can be married by a number of religions of my choice if I so choose. Saying that marriage is an outdated or archaic topic is harking back to the doom-sayers who used to (and still do) say that gay people were far to sexually inconsistent to be a stable part of society. If you want to be married yourself or not, why would you tolerate the injustice of seperate rights for heterosexuals and homosexuals?
 
I tend to avoid politics in friendships so propably yes
 
yes, but (sigh). Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I guess I would be thinking, "Someday this person may change his/her mind."
 
I could be friends with someone who opposes gay marriage. Friends often disagree on certain issues.
 
Nah...almost all arguments against gay marriage are based in homophobia, be it mild or flagrant. And I just can't see myself being friends with a homophobe. It's not just about myself, it's about the character of the people with whom I choose to be friends. Be anti-gay marriage usually shows a lack of character to me.
 
So your just going to shut the majority of the world out? That'll improve gay reputation greatly...
 
No, not really.

I have a friend who calls herself a "fag hag" and yet she opposes gay marriage. :rolleyes:

I don't hang out with her too often after I found it out...
 
I think in all honesty, I'd likely behave the same as Kevbo. Once I found out that someone disagreed with something as fundamental to the principle of equality as this, I'd likely re-evaluate my relationship with them. Ironic, or hypocritical in my case since I don't particularly favour the institution myself.

...and yes, Ram wins.
 
I don't care if my friend has a dang picture of George W. Bush over their bed, but if you know me, know I'm gay, and think somehow you deserve more rights than I do? Then you can go fuck yourself. So my answer is no.
 
i could be a conocido - knowing who they are etc. but as far as being a rreal friend, no. if the person does not feel i have the right to that, then i know the person is not really MY friend, so i would not offer the great benefits of friends to that person also.
