I am a strong Christian. This being said, the only reason gay marriage is a touchy subject is based on the fact that it is not a social norm.

Social issue: An issue that relates to society's perception of a person's personal life. Different cultures have different perceptions and what may be "normal" behavior in one society may be a significant social issue in another society.

Basically gay marriage is against the status quo, and is looked at as being different or rebellious. Remember looking at that weird kid in class, and thinking how in the world he was raised the Way he was? That's our issue. We judge based on first impressions rather than digging deeper into the issue and understanding the rational topics at hand. Gay marriage will be legalized everywhere. It should be; based on how the world is changing.

Also, calling marriage a Christian institution is downright idiotic. Timelines state that marriage was occurring before those times.

Social problems will never be solved based on public opinion and media.
