Personally I'm very ambivalent(as usual) on the matter. Because in a sense, I really can't even see why it's on the agenda at all. Why do gay people want to be married at all? It's honestly beyond me.
AFAIK the bible is quite clear of what it thinks of gay people, so why they think they should have any right to be part of a marriage supported by the bible is not only stupid, but very illogical. God doesn't like them, deal with it.
The GOD doesn't like anyone objection is a little off base. GOD loves everyone, there are just people who choose not to love GOD.
I imagine you probably would find it hard to sacrifice your only son for a bunch of undeserving liars, thieves, and killers (
the 12 tribe variety) not to mention the Gentiles, commonly referred to as dogs by the Hebrews (
the afforementioned undeserving liars, thieves, and killers).
This concept has often escaped my full understanding at times, yet I still have as yet not to grasp the evolve from apes myth. Given the utter lack of archaeological evidence. But this argument is rooted more within Satan than scientific discovery.

But as I'm not a christian(atheist) and generally of full support for homosexuals in society, I'd definitely be pro gay marriage. As the church is such a powerful institution, and being officially against homosexuals it automatically works as a discriminative force against gay people even outside the religion, which I find very sad.
I call myself Christian, and after watching a well publicized documentary(
years ago) starring Pedro from the Real World who died of AIDS, it only underscored my contempt of homosexuality.
I wouldn't wish the lifestyle, upon my worst enemy. But with that said I wouldnt tie one to a fence post and beat him to death either. I take as much issue with these people as with gays.
AIDS was born from the homosexual movement. You may not be old enough to remember the G.R.I.D. days (
Gay Related Immuno Deficiency). GRID was the unpolitically correct first name of AIDS, in the years before its urban mythification

"And the Band Played on", is a good read on the origins of HIV/AIDS and its spread. I forget the movie production name, it may have same title.

For me though there's "personally" even a third aspect. I dislike every theist religion and I'd do as much as I can trying to wipe them out. I don't show much or any respect for these religions, apart from possibly the practitioners of them. So, in a sense, this is a win-win-situation. If the gay people are allowed marriage, the priest may get pissed, and if I'm lucky, they won't exercise their job as expected, therefore potentially weakening the religion. But, if the gay people are being rejected marriage, I definitely think there will be a fairly strong number of people fleeing the religion. The only downside to that is that it may become a too narrow-minded religion, where people will take things to the extreme.
IMO marriage is an act between man and woman. If I can marry another man why cant I marry my pet parrot. You really don't want to open that can of worms.
If you still believe anything a priest tells you in the year 2007, you deserve what you get (i.e. C

The reason I dislike most religions is mostly because of the extremism some will take, particularly Islam right now, even though christians and christian terrorism scares me too(IRA).
Cmon ,now you mean the Britons have the sole copyright on religious demagogy. Where would the world be without those that exploited men, women, and children just because (St. Ides, Paul, The Virgin Mary, Judas,, Rudulph Guliani) told them. We wouldnt have cable TV, spam, xbox 360, or meth whores.
P.S. I cant believe they have not put the McCann's on the rack to find that little girls body. Clumps of her hair in the trunk of the rental car, that they rented weeks after her "disappearance"
