    The belief that choosing to live a certain way is limiting the liberty of others is illogical and ridiculous. Saying that allowing gay marriage restricts the liberty of those who do not believe in it is nonsense.
    You are arguing with the wrong person, I am not opposed to it. But it doesn't hurt all that much to consider the arguments of who are, they aren't against it because they are monsters, they are against it because they see things differently. PVC is correct in that even in society's where homosexuality was accepted marriage was still between a man and a woman exclusively.

    I know you're not. But quoting multiple posts is a hassle on an iPad, so I left out vladimir and pvc.

    They are not monsters, no, they are simply against other peoples freedom, something quite a few humans are. They see things differently, no problem. The problem comes when they want their view to control the actions of others. Gay marriage will not affect them in any way whatsoever, and so they have no valid grounds to deny it to others.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    No problem. It's still good to read your thoughts.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
