I'm entirely pro-gay-marriage. Always have been. However, I do not think that the majority of the Canadians who are against it hate gay people. I don't think peter12 hates gay people. Homophobia is certainly one reason why many of the people who oppose gay marriage do so. It's also obviously not the case that opposing gay marriage
equals homophobia, because there are reasons for opposing it held by a tiny percentage of the population that are just opposed to making gay life fall into heteronormative patterns. That's enough on its own to logically defeat the claim that "opposing gay marriage makes you a homophobe".
Hopefully that helps. It's completely off topic, of course, because as I said, this isn't about gay marriage at all.
