I understand your position, Bingo, but I think you misunderstand mine, at least in part. I don't agree with the entirety of the article, but I do agree with his support of civil unions on a lesser level than marriage. I understand that you find that offensive, but I find a lot of what you say offensive as well.

When I linked to that video of the girl quoting Leviticus, I did indeed agree with just about everything she said (I don't now). I also did expect that she would get a lot of hate for that, but what I was surprised at was the degree of hate. It was way, way, way overboard. It seems obvious to me now that she didn't have all the facts, not that she was a bigot or a hater.

Also keep in mind that I am only fifteen years old, so my opinions, or at least the specifics of them, are likely to change as I mature. I often can't make up my mind on things like this because I am constantly learning new information, and gaining a better understanding of what my Church actually teaches. When I signed up here, I had a completely different view on the subject than I do now. Since then, I have learned a lot more, including the fact that many of the things I had grown up believing were false. I currently have a fairly conservative view of the whole thing, but I no longer condemn anyone for being openly gay and marrying someone of the same sex, because I realize how it affects people when my religion is forced on them. I have no concrete opinion on whether same sex parents should be allowed to adopt or not. It seems to affect the way those kids behave, both in positive and negative ways. The negative ways could very well be caused by self-righteous people bullying them, but it's difficult to say for sure.

Hopefully we can learn to understand each other better, even if we don't agree. I have nothing against two guys or two girls who love each other pursuing a romantic relationship, but I don't support it and probably never will.
