Interesting idea for a thread. Would be nice if there was a way to make the discussion anonymous because I doubt most people that are against it will speak up since they'll just be attacked for it. Which I never understand, calling someone ignorant and yelling at them isn't going to change any views, it's just going to make that person put up a wall.

I'll be honest, I used to be against it. Seems ridiculous to me now but 10-15 years ago my reasons made sense to me. I was never homophobic, I never hated homosexuals, I just didn't like the marriage part, thought it was something that should be for a man and a woman, that silly old schtick.

I changed my views a while back because of a few realizations, but this was the main one. Same sex marriage has nothing to do with me. It literally effects my life in zero ways. So why the hell should I care? If something can literally have no negative effect on me, but only have a positive effect on others, then it makes absolutely no sense to be against it.

It didn't happen overnight, but I'm now very pro same sex marriage. Whether you love a man or a woman, you deserve to be treated equally and to be happy.

I'd say a lot of it came with maturity and getting older as well.
