If you actually looked at what he was saying you would realize how incredibly discriminatory he was being, he has no legitimate reasons for not allowing gay marriage besides 'people making fun of them' and 'the bible says not to'. How does that not come off as prejudice to you? I agree the 'homophobe' line I used was not needed but people like this piss me off because in this situation his 'right' for an opinion is telling an entire group of people how he thinks they should live their lives just because they are different. Its exactly the same situation as having an opinion against interracial marriage in the 1950-60's. If anything, having an opinion against gay marriage in this situation is the opposite of free speech because, really, its not an opinion at all. Its hate.

He stated that he didn't want to offend anyone and for this to be a peaceful debate, but ironically his opinion was offensive to begin with.
