How are you being persecuted and discriminated against? Allowing SSM does not take away your rights to practice your beliefs as you see fit.
Also, I have to point out that it is again highly insulting for you to tell me that my 'sins' are bringing us closer to the end of the world.
Your sins are not bringing us closer to the end of the world. My sins are just as bad as whatever your sins are, I'm sure.
One of my weaknesses in particular is getting knee-deep in these ridiculous arguments -- that quite honestly, I could care less about-- only because I find the protagonist arrogant, small-minded, odious and revolting (not you).
Quite honestly, I don't know why any homosexual would ever want marriage redefined in this country. You have a secular alternative. The political ramifications could be devastating. The whole thing may well backfire, setting you back 20 years or more. It could never be worth it, just to say: "I'm married." Why?
For one, it will never be recognized by christians as a christian marriage. It's one battle you will not win.
And 2: because Christians
will feel slighted, whether you want to recognize it or not.
I want you to read this. Really read it.
Does it sound like they are ready to retreat?

It is one thing when you make progress against bigotry, but another thing when you win some territory "against discrimination" and at the same time slap a bunch of people in the face, and they happen to be your neighbors.
