Many religious people are offended at the idea of gay marriage, whether they are Catholic, Muslim or whatever else

their belief is that gay marriage is wrong, that is their belief

many other people think that there is nothing wrong with gay marriage, that is their belief

so its a clash of 2 beliefs, how can any devil's advocate take sides?

if someone was forced to make a decision they would have to side with the religious institution as the church or mosque where the wedding was to take place is part of that religious faith

but a better solution would be compromise of some kind

eg each church the members of the congregation had a vote to decide whether to allow gay marriages in their parish

some churches would vote yes and some would vote no

this way there is a compromise

in a parish where the majority voted yes to allow gay marriages, the out voted minority may be offended but they do have opportuniy to either accept it of find another parish that voted no

and in a parish where the majority voted no gay marriages, the gay community could find a nearby church that voted yes

a government law either way will only offend people of either side, there should be no law either way only that it is upto each individual religious institution

If I was a gay person I would not want to be married by a priest in a church as they would believe I am a sinner, confuses me why someone would want to
