my faith tells me that marriage was created by God for one man and one woman...but then again, if heterosexuals are going to take marriage so lightly, it's impossible for us to stand up against gay marriage. We have made it a farce, we can't call it sacred, when we're willing to do things ourselves that throw that sanctity out the window.

Look, while I completely disagree with your view I can at least somewhat respect it, but to say people take marriage lightly because they think homosexuals should be allowed to marry is not fair
at all, and makes you no better than the people you're criticizing. If you want people to respect your position, you should also consider that not everyone has the same definition of marriage, be it based on religion or personal beliefs.
This might be walking a slippery slope and I have no intention of getting into an argument about religion, but aside from your faith telling you marriage is something between a man and a woman, would it really bother you or even affect you in any way if two men get married? I mean, whether you personally approve or not is one thing, but as long as they're not hurting anyone, what's it to you? Why should their love be trivialised because of something
you believe?
If you don't want to answer then feel free not to, and please understand that I'm honestly not trying to insult you or your religion, but yours is a mindset I truly do not understand.
