How Christianity Gave Us Gay Marriage

The American fight for equality began with distinctly Christian precepts
By Damon Linker

The suggestion sounds ludicrous: How could Christianity be responsible for the all-but-assured triumph of the movement for gay marriage? Aren't the most committed Christians the most passionate defenders of traditional marriage and hence the most ardent opponents of permitting gay couples to marry?

We're for equal rights for everyone & can't understand why anyone would care who someone else married.

Then of course there is also the issue of homophobia, which is very strong in some cultures.

Judgemental, snoody people who claim to be Christian, - the biggest church goers of all seem to care the most and condemn the most.

Jesus loves all people.
