Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?
Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

Churches are one of the main places people get married. So why not let the gays get married there aswell?

We should all have the right to refuse any service. If a baker doesn't want to make a wedding cake because the couple is LGBT+, they shouldn't be forced to. However, I would want to know because I do not want to support homophobic businesses.
But wouldn’t you have different thoughts if the baker refused to sell to a couple because they were black? Or christian?
@DanielKolbin1105Independent 7mos7MO
Not the same logic since there's nothing wrong with being black or a Christian.
@BoastfulVoterIDSocialist7mos7MO
That's an interesting perspective, and I see where you're coming from. Just like there's nothing wrong with being black or Christian, there's also nothing wrong with being a part of the LGBT+ community. Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity, don't you think? What are your thoughts on this?
@DelightfulUnanimousGreen7mos7MO
Absolutely, everyone deserves respect and dignity. However, it's also crucial to remember that respect includes respecting differing opinions. For instance, while some may not agree with same-sex marriage due to religious beliefs, it doesn't necessarily mean they disrespect or discriminate against the LGBT+ community. They might support civil unions or other legal protections for same-sex couples. So, the challenge lies in finding a balance between ensuring rights for all and respecting religious freedom. In your opinion, how can we strike this balance?
