Christianity and gay marriage

Not really sure how to vote in the poll, but I don't really believe it's possible for a "Christian" to oppose gay marriage.  Such hatred and bigotry makes a mockery of everything Jesus ever stood for.

I always chuckle when non-practising folks and liberal prots make sweeping declarations about who is and isn't Christian.

I don't know what a "prot" is, but I don't know why you would call me "non-practicing."  And considering how the largest denomination of "Christianity" in my state has never considered me to be a Christian, I feel completely justified and righteous in throwing it back at them.

I share your position on gay marriage but I don't think you really understand by what reasoning Christians who oppose it so do. Or, more to the point, reasonings.

Rank and file Baptists, etc., are against gay marriage because their preacher and/or politician erroneously told them that homosexuality is "sinful," and they don't have the knowledge and/or character to challenge that nonsense.  Just like they used to support Jim Crow, etc.

Why do you need a theological argument?  "The church should treat all human beings with dignity, respect, and equality," should be sufficient.  Who cares how that line of thinking descends through the centuries?
