I appreciate debating with you. Even though we may disagree, you are open-minded and are tolerant of opposing views. That's really all that I am asking for.
It seems that you toatally understand why the majority of people are against gay marriage. You may not agree with them, but you appreciate their viewpoint and you respect it. You realize that good people can differ on this issue and just because someone is against gay marriage, that does not make them a biggot or homophobe.
I think that strong arguments can be made in favor of gay marriage. But I also think that there are strong arguments against it.
