No one is hating gays ... they are just talking very explicitly about their personal behaviour ... Islam is the only religion where I as a man can love another man ... without being "anal" about it.
We hug and kiss even, on Eid and other events or when have not seen each other for many days ...
I am sorry, but you seem to be basing your views on what you've seen on TV. Hindu and Christian men show affection for each other too. What you are talking about is a cultural thing, not religious
True Muslims love each other ... but we are called heterosexuals nonetheless ... we don't have to disguise sin with the cover of love ... Other societies are so "anti-homo" their men will not show any love to other men ... they consider it "gay" ... and fear that people will think them to be engaged in sin ...
Are you confusing love with sexual attraction?
Sorry but catskin has a point ... marriage is to make sex legal ... so the marriage of a gay couple is public information about them being in bed with each other ... it is a moral crime according to most religions on this planet.
Again you demonstrate your limited view of the world. Sex outside of marriage is not illegal in many countries.
Also, do you get married just for sex?? From what I've read gay people get married to solemnize their relationship, and also to get property inheritance rights which a live-in does not grant them. Being a spouse automatically grants you certain legal rights (like the right to make a medical decision for your spouse in case of an emergency)

So gay marriage has nothing to do with sex?
Who's being demonstrating limited view of the world here, eh?
Sex outside marriage shouldn't be a concern of any of us since we're not invited to their (heteros or homos) marriageless sex party.
If only you had read my post, you'd know that I said marriage isn't only about sex.
So you're concerned that two men are together in bed, but your only objection is attending their wedding party. Good for you and them then.
^Or two women.
I know a marriage isn't about sex only. I don't believe in gay or child or forced marriages and that's why I wouldn't attend such marriages, it goes against my faith and principles (I'm not equating gays to others who're in favour of child marriages).
Am I not allowed to live freely? Or do I have to approve of gay marriages and gay sex in order to be accepted by the modernists?
Kind of off topic, but when I was going through IVF the first time, there was a gay male couple who had a female friend donate her egg & be a gestational carrier for them. They were on the same time table as I was, so for about 9 months I saw them pretty regularly in the dr’s office. Regardless of what my religious/political beliefs on this topic (which I do NOT care to divulge!) it was very endearing to see the sheer joy and anticipation on the faces of these two men.
