Yep, don't agree with him but he is entitled to his opinion and stated it respectfully.

NO HE'S NOT! Because he doesn't agree with gay marriage. Therefore his opinion is wrong.

So he's allowed to have his opinion but i'm not allowed to have an opinion about his opinion?

If you are going to try to claim that a gay man/woman being able to marry a person of the opposite sex and a straight man/woman not being allowed to marry a person of the same sex = marriage equality you are just flat out ignorant and/or a complete weasel playing horseshite semantics while willfully ignoring that isn't what the issue is about. Either way you are presenting a completely disingenuous argument that has zero credibility.

Fair answer. I would argue that a person who supports gay marriage can't oppose any other type of marriage scenario and maintain logical consistency.
I haven't thought about all of the possibilities too deeply, but I would oppose any marriage that involved someone being forced into it against their will, and I support age restrictions.

Of course, but your opinion shows no tolerance to his opinion. Much like the gay movement has shown.

Link to where I said that? I'm calling you out for labeling anyone who isn't for gay marriage a bigot.

i am not advocating that he be thrown in jail for his opinion.
Nor am i, like he is doing, saying he should be denied equal treatment under the law.
So how exactly am i being intolerant?

Well you're in the minority as far as opinions on Austin go

Why do you think you should be entitled to express your opinion free of judgment and labeling? Yet Peterson does the same and you and many others like you will call him a hate filled bigot.

A straight man / gay man has the right to marry one woman.
A straight woman / gay woman has the right to marry one man.
Their rights are equal. 'Love' or 'desire' has nothing to do with what is codified in law. Choosing not to exercise a right does not mean that a person does not have that right.
But please enlighten me as to what the issue is about? Equality exists now. If the 'issue' is that people want to be able to marry anyone they 'love' then this debate is not about marriage equality, it is about changing the definition of marriage.

So because your opinion is "better", you're right Peterson is wrong and should be labeled a bigot. Got it.

You seem to be struggling with this.
My opinion, unlike AP's, is not expressing support for a denial of someone else's rights.
If i were saying he should be silenced then you'd have a point.
This really isn't that hard.

Good for AP. People act like people cant have an opinion anymore unless it supports gays. With him having faith, his response doesnt surprise me. And he shouldnt have to apologize for his comment either. And I hope he doesnt.
I dont agree with gay marriage and Im not afraid to say it. I wont apologize either.

What rights do heterosexuals have that homosexuals do not with regards to marriage? Heterosexuals aren't allowed to marry same sex partners either.
Choosing not to exercise a right does not mean that a person does not have that right.
