After some research, here's what I found:
-Marriage and religion didn't start together, but over time, the Christian church took responsibility of marriage, like managing the documents and whatnot.
-Marriage was first instituted to bind a man to a woman, since this is all that a prehistoric human would need to further their genes. Love had nothing to do with it, except for finding the right mate and having your hormones influence your choosing.
-The Latin roots of the word "marriage" describe a man and a woman, if one uses the masculine for "man" and the feminine form for "woman".
From all of this, I conclude (TL;DR):
Homosexual marriage is simply illogical from a biological standpoint, and it contradicts the religious and the entomological sense of the word.
But, as Christians, we have been tasked by Jesus to love everyone equally, regardless of gender, race, or choices. This teaching means that all we can do as Christians is a good ol' disappointed sigh, and take no
action, as Christianity is a religion of love. Anyone attacking gays is only using Christianity as an excuse, in the same way terrorists use Islam.
Final Thoughts/Opinions:
The easiest way to get rid of controversy is to call it something else, such as a "civil union" which is binding in all the same ways as marriage, but also not angering any religions in the process. But, I won't do anything except voice my opinions, as is my right.

I bid you all adeiu.

Make an account, please. You may have stated some facts(?), but with no disrespect intended, we don't come on the internet to read essays about your opinion. I am glad you are a christian who is non-violent towards gay members of the community and I am glad you have faith in both your religion and the rights of others. But if you by any chance come back to this post (As you do not have an account so notifications aren't a thing I believe), then know I say this as politely as I can- Make an account and remember we come here for more entertainment purposes.
