Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?
Gay marriage, while against the religious morality of some Americans, the Bible should have no bearing on the legal system, as expressed in the 1st Amendment. If a religion were to outlaw interracial marriage, for instance, that would not justify its prohibition.

If the Bible had no bearing on the legal system, murder and theft would be legalized. Agreed that outlawing interracial marriage would be unjustified, but the reason it's unjustified instead of just unpopular is because God creates everyone with equal worth. Ultimately I don't think the government should even have a definition of marriage, but if it does, it shouldn't be encouraging harmful physical behavior like homosexuality.

The bible was not the first authority that considered murder and theft wrong. Though the US founders may have made them illegal based on biblical beliefs, the overall moral belief came from before that. If God makes everyone with equal worth, then why are straight people the only ones deserving of having a happy marriage with the person they love? Also, why would homosexuality be harmful? It's simply two people who love each other and happen to be the same gender, and it isn't personally affecting anyone who doesn't agree with it, so I don't see why it would be an issue.
