Many Christian support gay marriage.

The USA is roughly 75% christian and about 4% gay. The problem is that you have a small number of loudmouths and the liberals in the media have made them cause celebre.
Next to T-Rex, you are the absolute dumbest person who posts here. First, you mention biology, and marriage "developed naturally as a reproductive arrangement". This is just wrong and false, and this "reproductive arrangement", if there were one, and especially if it were based on biology, would not need to be sanctioned by a church or the government. That is the issue. The issue isn't whether or not gays can reproduce. Gay people can adopt and still raise a family. Straight people who get married and have kids still divorce, so how is this "arrangement working". Oh, and straight people can have kids and never get married, so how does this fit into the arrangement? Are you going to force all people who have kids together to get married?The concept of marriage is mans. Not everyone will agree on a definition. People, at least intelligent ones, realize that religion, which is the only real reason to deny same sex marriage, should not dictate the lives of people who don't believe in God. People 30 years from now will certainly consider a same sex marriage to be the same as a straight marriage, at least the non-idiotic people will.

Wrong. Biology says so.
Whether gays have the right to do what they want with themselves is not the same thing as whether it's a "marriage." Marriage developed naturally as a reproductive arrangement. Like it or not, gays are not biologically equipped to reproduce with each other.
Gay-marriage activists have gotten as far as they have by beating up on the straw man of religion. The viciousness is intended to cast their issue as a rights-vs-religion thing when it is, in fact, a mad crusade against the facts of life. That political diversion can't last forever.
Go ahead with all the juvenile rhetoric, say "bigot," say "closet," lump me in with the religious Enemy, all the usual bullshit you've been trained to say. But in 20 or 30 years, the majority of people still won't consider gay relationships "marriages," even if the law does. At most there will be an Orwellian divide between what people say publicly and what they really think. Millennials will grow to regret this just as baby boomers grew to regret their drug use and free sex.
Homosexual behavior is a sick cancer to humanity. Exhibit A- Gays have killed 40 million people with their AIDS since sodomy was legalized.
NO other group practices sodomy?
No other group has diseases that they are specifically prone to!?
Jews dont have a tendency for tay-sachs?
Blacks dont have a tendency for sickle cell?
IDIOT

Now the CEO of Firefox is forced to resign because he donated $1000 in 2008.
Why don't the people upset about Firefox ostracize Obama instead. In 2008, this is what Obama told MTV:
"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage."
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2008/11/obama-on-mtv-i/
Those people say nothing about Obama because they are hypocrites!
So what if the Firefox guy doesn't support gay marriage? Neither did the vast majority of the civilized world for thousands of years up until now.
We have to really question how "civilized" the world was back then
Most gay people don't have HIV or AIDS. Many IV drug users and straight people die of AIDS. You are an idiot.
The numerology of homosexuality-
2013- Gays infiltrate the Boy Scouts, violate DOMA, claim greatest "victories"
20:13- Leviticus condemns gays to death
lol

Exactly. The company caved to the lunatics and look like a bunch of cowards. Reading the Mozilla twitter feed this evening and the idiots claim to be for diversity - yeah right. As long as you agree with the LGBT radicals, it is all good. Disagree with them and you are out the door. Liberals do NOT want diversity - period.

Marriage isn't biological … sometimes you say the most stupid things on this site.
Marriage didn't develop 'naturally' .. it developed culturally. And that's why it has been so many different things in so many different times and places around the world. For a long time, in our own Judeo-Xian roots, marriage was merely an investment, women sold like cows.
The issue of marriage equality isn't one of the facts of life .. it's one of human rights .. and you don't have the right to choose who I should marry. Or should not marry. Any more than I have the right to choose your partner.

Wrong. Posts like ^yours^ are a sick cancer on humanity.

I don't think anybody gives a fvck if you don't "support" gay marriage.
On the other hand, if you oppose allowing gays to marry then you do risk being ridiculed. You will get lumped in with all the wingnuts that believe that allowing gays to marry will somehow diminish their own hetero marriage. Or maybe gay marriage will lead to somebody marring their pet hamster or a favorite tree.
A position of "eh, let em do what they want, doesn't hurt me" if perfectly acceptable and probably would not be considered supporting gay marriage.
This
All these gay supporters have the dumbest arguments. Just because it doesn't affect you directly it means it's fine? Then why can't a father marry his daughter? After all it doesn't affect me or anyone else for that matter so why is this wrong but two gays getting married is ok?

No .. it's fine because you don't have a single argument to say it's not .. claiming that you think it's 'icky' doesn't mean sh*t.
Oh my gooooddd..how many idiots do I have to explain this to.... The slipper slope argument is bs. There is a difference betweent so condensing men and women vs non consenting children, objects and animals. Polygamy creates an economic question (as there is more than 2 people) so that is a different issue.
First, I think liberals really do believe that conservatives are idiots (or evil manipulative types), and tend to characterize them as either cigar-smoking rich fat cats, yokels driving pickups, or televangelists with southern accents preaching fire and brimstone. Our higher education system is predominantly liberal, so our college grads often emerge believing that liberalism=sophistication. Hence, opponents of the liberal agenda are branded as 'idiots'.
Second, the gay rights groups are well funded, well organized and smart. They have made it their goal to win acceptance, but I don't believe it ends there. I think they want to obliterate their opposition. They attempt to discredit or ridicule anyone who opposes their agenda. Having been marginalized themselves for years, they are going on the offensive and trying to turn the tables on those who stand in the way. Even though sentiment on gay marriage is split roughly 50-50, Those who publicly oppose it are routinely attacked in the media, while those in favor are rarely attacked in the same way, but since the media is essentially controlled by liberals (aside from Fox News, radio, and the internet, obviously), what can you expect?
Posts like yours illustrate exactly why many liberals tend to view conservatives as idiots, and evil manipulative types.It's not simply the conservative position that is the problem; it's the absolute inability to present any cogent argument that supports your position, yet you folks cling to it like a child to his/her favorite toy.

You're suggesting you don't support gay marriage because there are not enough gay people?

I guess this explains why the anti-gay marriage lobby is led by prominent biologists and other scientific leaders
