However when the topic of gay marriage arises in conversations, the main opposing point would be that the bible doesn’t agree with it. According to the first amendment, the bible has no standing in American law. Opposing gay marriage is just another form of prejudice. Im just waiting for someone to explain to me how this argument is any different from the one half a century ago when it was thought almost inconceivable for an African American to share the same water fountain, and ride next to you on a bus. On a common sense level, does American citizens really think that if gay marriage is not allowed, that the gay citizens are going to stop/change their way of life?
