I know that this is a divisive topic for so many, but I want to warn those on both sides, especially on the Christian side, because we are supposed to be filled with the Love of Christ, to not get into hate mode. To understand why homosexuals are demanding gay marriage, you must first understand why so many gays are essentially unhappy and on a constant quest to find the magic remedy that will bring about an age of peace; this is particularly true of gay men. For I was one of these guys. What I saw in the gay culture I will label the “bunker” mentality. Through no fault of their own, many gay men are secretly traumatized by the hate and bullying they experienced as children. This was especially true in San Francisco, exhibited by the myriad of men I knew who escaped the conservative confines of their home-towns, usually in the South or Mid-West. They would instinctively recoil to their comrades, demonize those that criticized their lifestyle, regroup, and then attack. We must accept the fact that these people are hurt and wounded, but we must not patronize. Just give Love. Treat them as you would treat anyone else. They are not demons. They may be trapped in a evil way of life, but, perhaps, no one has ever reached out to them. Be the first.
