Debate Forum / Re: Homosexuality, from a religious viewpoint

I honestly don't see what is wrong with homosexuality.
If two people love each other, then what of it the gender? One of the main arguments that Christians have against it is that it "violates the sanctity of marriage." Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian? I realize that these are all celeb marriages, but aren't gays singled out for being different? Not everyone is a celeb, maybe we should ban them from marrying too, and force them to be ashamed of what they are. I feel like marriage isn't more than a title to hold over your friends' heads and have people pay attention to you with fancy rings and expensive weddings.
I also don't understand how it could be an "abomination," if two people are willing to put time and effort into such a thing. The only abomination is how people treat homosexuals. Call them f*ggot, qu*er, ect., spitting on them at school, hurting them to the point where they are afraid to even leave the house, and in worst cases, simply driving them to suicide or killing them themselves. The things STRAIGHT people put on the victim's Facebooks, what they say at Church towards them, how their family is affected by "this one little problem." Making children, teens, adults, even, feel like they aren't welcome on this Earth, that we would be better off "without their kind." AIDS is a gay disease, "Gods hate f*gs," ect.. THAT reaction to how someone is BORN, is a disgrace, and an abomination.
A child's viewpoint branches out of the things that their parents teach them, or how they act around the child. And society is a helping hand in molding the viewpoint. Some children are raised by people with the idea that homosexuals are the Devil's making, some are raised to ignore the "problem," and some are raised that it isn't a problem, nor a choice. To them, it isn't anything, but how that child was born. But regardless of how they were raised, what society says, what a book says, that person is entitled to THEIR OWN opinion. It should NOT be based on what they hear, read, or even see from a few people of that group. It should be based from interacting with a large number of a the group, going to events, taking the time to see homosexuals as another HUMAN BEING and NOT an abomination.
