Why Hate On A Homo?

So I guess this is a yearly thing, because this is the second time this happened and it's on the same profile around the same time of year. There's this one really religious kid enthroned in his beliefs and preaches them like everything else he says thinking it's undeniable truth. It's not his profile, it's on someone else's. The argument erupts on the other person's profile because I'm friends with the other person, as are other people that join in the argument. Last time it was about Westboro, and I don't remember the exact argument but it had him spouting stuff about homosexuality being a divine punishment. It was also an argument about gay marriage. That's what this argument was also. I decided to stay out of it and occasionally make a wisecrack hoping he'd eventually cry while another person ranted at him. Besides him insulting the IMS class, a class I knew he had no respect for, he shut up a lot in this fight unlike last time where I'd get long ass comments to read. Someone like him is a rare occurrence at this point, seeing as homosexuality is widely accepted. I don't know if you guys believe in it but our global consciousness should include it by now because of how widely accepted it is. That pretty much means, most people aren't going to bash on gay rights. Of course there's homophobe. I don't mind homosexuals, no not at all, but when I'm one on one conversation with them I feel a little uncomfortable to be honest. But I that's just because I'm not familiar with interacting with homosexuals. So anyways, down to business, I figured I'd state my beliefs now. I for one, as any usual would know, am an agnostic because I'm undecided on religion, among other things. I also don't think that it's right to force my views on other people, so even if I didn't agree with gay marriage I wouldn't fight it. I'd be like, they're over THERE and I'm over HERE. But I do agree with it. What makes marriage so special, what defines it to be reserved for a man and woman besides the bible, a book written a long time ago by someone that wasn't god? On Wikipedia it doesn't refer to any gender. And honestly, I think a gay guy would have more respect for the bond that marriage makes than a straight couple. In this day and age, divorce is really common. Any sanctity that marriage had has been trashed and stomped on by society so even if gay marriage would tarnish it, it can't make it any worse than it is now. Homosexuals fought and are still fighting to be able to say they're married and not in a civil union, heterosexuals had it handed to them and disrespected it. And honestly, because the real opponent in these fights and debates is religion and close-mindedness, what god would punish someone for trying to be happy? It's not hurting anyone except homophobes. I just know, I'd rather suffer the "fiery pits of hell" and have lived my life the way I wanted, than be up in the pearly gates, mostly because I'd be looking back on how unfulfilled my life was. That'd go the same if I were gay. Love isn't something bound by skin and organs, it's a part of your mental projection upon others.
