I agree with you that it's a sensitive topic from both sides, but people should focus their negativity on the belief and not the person holding it.
About the Bible, it's actually not as arbitrary as you might believe, because almost all examples of Biblical passages that are dismissed (like circumsision and not wearing some wools or whatnot) are in the Old Testament and are explicitly not required to follow in the new Covenant with Christ.
Marriage is however repeated multiple times in the New Testament as well.
Like the other commentor said, I think it's not about the people themselves as much as it is about the institution of marriage. I think that even the people who hold flags saying God hates fags aren't against civil unions.
Why is donating to a cause you believe in extremely poor judgement?
> “You might not realize”
The tone of my post wasn't the friendliest it could have been I agree, but I get really annoyed when people imply that those who believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, which from a Christian perspective is very clear, are evil.
>-"Mozilla is run by a bunch of SJW idiots because they ran their CEO off. So now I run Brave." (I had to look into this, as I wasn't paying attention at the time. They picked a new CEO who cared so passionately about removing the right of gay people to get married he even donated his own money to the cause. That was a dumb hill to die on. Now he's an anti-masker who actually runs Brave.)
It wasn't a hill to die on, it was a private donation from his private bank account as a private person. The funding page got leaked and people saw that he donated. And it wasn't removing the right for gays to marry, it was to keep the proposal from becoming a law. You might not realize that some people hold very strong religious beliefs about marriage, something the vast majority of Americans historically had, and for this reason gays previously generally only had something called a civil union prior to 2015.
Relax dude, I didn't even say anything about history, and I thought it would be clear that I was using hyperboly to prove a point.
