You can't make decisions based on if you know someone involved or not. You have to be empathetic or not to gay marriage regardless. If one of your family members is gay, that doesn't change whether it is right or not for gays to be married.

I'm not completely sure that I understand your question, but I'll give it a go.
If you supported gay-marriage before, why would you stop now that someone you love is gay?
If you didn't support it before, you don't have to now. Just support them. You don't necessarily have to agree with them, but at least try to understand where they are coming from. Talk with them about it and even though you may not see eye to eye on everything, your relationship may be stronger than ever and you won't feel so awkward at family reunions.
You do not have to support something you don't agree with. Find out more about what is troubling you and think about what it really means and what is so wrong with it. Also find out why we are truely having a dispute about gay-marraiges.
Hope this helps some.

One of my parents is, but I do not support same-sex marriage. It is a sin, so I cannot support that. I don't support lying, stealing or adultery either, but still have to vote for a politician.
I don't believe the government should be involved as much as it is, though. I think this would not be as big an issue if people kept their private lives private and didn't have to make a huge spectacle of themselves.

My Aunt and my half brothers father are Gay. I do not support gay marriage at all. If the marriage laws are redefined for one group, they have to be for all. Just because someone might want to marry a grapefruit, that doesn't make it right. People might want to marry animals, but that doesn't make that right either. Men and women. That is right in the eyes of God and who are we to change it.

I'm gay. I'm not sure if my brother or dad support me on that topic, but I think my Mom and sister do. That's their perogative just like all of ours to have our own opinion.
I know my Dad loves me, cause he tells me all the time.
I know my brother loves me, cause he almost kicked some guys butt for making fun of me. ; )
So it doesn't really matter what they think.
I personally don't want to get married, but gay people should have that right because more and more of them are having kids or adopting, and if something were to happen to one parent, the other gay parent should have the full right and custody to look after that child.
The debate over gay marriage is behind in the times. Gay people already are 'married' in their own minds, and if they are, many have children from adoption, previous marriages, or artificial insemination. So whether you agree with it or not, it exists.
When people go against gay marriage, they really aren't hurting gay people so much (though they still are - tax breaks, unrecognition, etc.), they are really hurting those kids that have 2 people in their lives that love them equally so why shouldn't they be treated equally.

No matter what, I would support my family! It doesn't matter who loves who, as long as they are happy. Many people in other relationships can't find happiness and love. It takes a strong person to admit that they are "gay" in our world! This is a sad, but true thing. I know many people and have friends that are "gay" they are wonderful people. Just because they don't follow what many deem as "normal" relationships doesn't mean they are terrible people. As for same-sex marriage, yes I support it. I would only wish for others to have a happy marriage like mine. Don't get me wrong, we fight and bicker, but man is it fun to make up.

If my sister was a lesbian...nothing would change. My love for her would stay exactly the same. Because I love her, I would support her in any of her decisions, as long as it didn't harm her or anyone else. I support same-gender marriages. Love is love.

I don't support same sex marriage, but I do support some form of legal instrument that will allow for a committed couple to have the same rights to insurance, inheritance, and medical decisions as a husband and wife do for each other.

yep I do. I believe if two people love each other that much to want to spend the rest of their lives together then so be it. Regardless if gay or not I believe all people should be allowed to spend the rest of their life with the one person they love with all they got.
