How does marriage effect the lives of Republicans? Let's see...um, "I don't want my children to learn that is okay!" Until you have a gay child of your own and they are living with shame thinking something is wrong with them and they end up committing suicide like so many of them do as teenagers.
How does actually being gay effect the lives of Republicans? Hmm, "I don't want them checking me out, they'll probably give me AIDS!" That's not how that works. And they probably won't be checking you out anyway because they can see the fear on your face as you stare at them intently in whatever public place you are at. Plus Gaydar is a real thing.
"But the Bible..." says what? The Bible says a lot of things. Republicans just want to pick and choose what applies to their lives. Remember that woman from Kentucky, Kim Davis? How many divorces did she have? Isn't that against the Bible too?
There is a proverb that says, "Live and let live". Treat homosexuals like normal people because they are normal people. Irrational fear does a lot of things, as does leaning on sacred text to tell you what you should be thinking or believing. If Republicans can take anything from Democrats on this issue it would be just love everyone as if they were your own family.
*I wonder how many Republicans who hate homophobia are just closet homosexuals, but are afraid to be themselves because they don't want to alienate their families. It's okay to be gay and be yourself, living a lie must be a hard burden to live with. Imagine what you would feel to have it lifted off your shoulders. You can learn all about this at Atheist gay conversion camp.
