I see this all the time and it really bugs me. In fact, I just read a Facebook comment that said "if Christians and other people of faith were not required to accept and service the homosexual lifestyle choice and marriage against their will and faith, that basically the religious people wouldn't care so much. Hmmm... let me think about that one some more.
I normally don't wade into the social issues much because there are so many people screaming. It just bothers me when I see comments like this posted. It feels like selected bigotry by religions. Their statement makes them feel validated but that's about it. It is highly disrespectful to gay people that they so vehemently hate.
Now, before you get all up in arms with me and accuse me of intolerance, religions are protected in the constitution and they have buildings to go and preach at whatever they believe every single day of the year. They take in lots of money in a year and while I don't think they use it wisely most of the time, they don't pay taxes on it. Lots of people in the church earn a good living and some have a pretty nice income. Some religions and people of faith understand things good and too many others show the evil side of religions.
