that's the problem, annee, they aren't doing that to themselves only, they are doing it to all of us now that the government is complicit in this whole thing. it's going to polarize the nation even more. and christians will be called upon to form an united front, on non-biblical grounds, against gays. the whole thing is horrific, and as my reward for not wanting this to happen, i have to watch it happen in some kind of sickening slow motion horror film. where one side hates me because i resemble the other side and the other side hates me because i defend the other.
is this some kind of a sick joke?

Polls back him up. A majority of Americans support marriage equality, including a majority of Catholics and most Jews. But a 2014 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute showed that while 62 percent of white mainline Protestants favor same-sex marriages, only 38 percent of black Protestants, 35 percent of Hispanic Protestants and 28 percent of white evangelical Protestants do.
