It's hard to change one's religious beliefs. That is the main reason, imo, that people are so hard-set against same-sex marriage. Not the initial reaction to any sexual acts between same sex couples. Plenty of guys get off on lesbians doing each other, but because of their religious beliefs, they may not agree with them getting married.
This is one reason bestiality isn't mentioned much, if at all, in the Bible or other religious texts. Everyone already knows it's wrong. It goes without saying.
But when it comes to something like homosexuality, you have to somehow plant the idea that it is wrong in order for people to be disgusted by it. Enter Sodom.
Back when the Bible was written, Rome was the superpower of the world. One good way to attack the Roman empire was to attack their preferences on sexuality. It was no big secret that Romans were accepting of the gay lifestyle. But because they persecuted Christians, anything the roman empire did was considered sinful.
My main point is, the reason so many people are against same-sex marriage is because they think it's a sin, not because it turns them off. It's because of religion. Bottom line. Anal sex turns people off too, but their isn't a large percentage of the populace demanding that we make laws against it.
I am not religious nor have been "indoctrinated" by hate of any kind. Do i know a lot about religions? Yes I do. Does that change anything? Nope.
I couldnt care less who sleeps or marries who. But what I do care is how things are presented.
1. What is marriage?
2. What do people get from marriage?
3. What would gay people get from marriage?
