Are any gay people ok with people who are in disagreement with gay marriage?

Or do you always be angry at them no matter how sensitively they put it?

I mean,do some gay people accept other people's different views on the matter?

I was just thinking of what happened regarding that beauty queen Carrie Prejean a few years ago when she answered that question regarding gay marriage and many people got angry at her,but she was jsut answering her view honestly and she was asked the question,she didnt go out and force her views on people,instead she was responding to a question directly posed to her.

Thanks

    I'm ok with the person, not their view. No, I don't flip out on someone if they tell me they don't believe in marriage for everyone. I'm surrounded by people who have been told what to believe by their pastor or priest so I'm more surprised if someone tells me they DO think gays should be allowed to be married. If that conversation happens, I usually respond calmly and rationally. I also ask "why?". Usually it's "unnatural" "against my religion" or "between man and woman blah" and I have a counter argument for each. People walk away from me with their heads spinning because I make sense.

    When you place your self in a position such as that, your personal opinion takes a back seat, like it or not.

    As an example.

    That same lady may in fact think that black people bring much of their trouble on them self and if only they would get off their backsides and get a job the world would be better.

    Now while its a free country and all that, the facts of life are, once your in the public eye you cant go expressing such beliefs. Even if that person honestly believes that the above is true. Its just not on to say so in public.

    She is in the public eye, she has to keep in mind that anything she says has to not be anti anyone.

    Some people who are gay are okay with other people disagreeing with same-sex marriage. There are others who aren't.

    Personally, I am skeptical of others who disagree with gay marriage. I try to accept people who disagree with it, but at the end of the day, it's going to be someone who isn't going to be a good friend of mine. Call me narrow minded all you want but... True friends accept for who you are and want to see you happy.

    They're aren't exactly going to be a good friend if they like the fact that you're being denied to marry your partner who happens to be the same sex.

    Forgive me, but I will not accept a strangers' view on the legitimacy of my relationship. If they don't like it, they can bad mouth me or any other gay person all they want, I don't have to listen to it. That's fine if they have that view, but I would never consider that person a friend.

    Yes, I just think they are a little ignorant and need to be enlightened, but a little ignorance is no reason for me not to enjoy their friendship. Many of my gay friends don't believe same-sex marriage should be legal, I think they're shooting them selves in the foot, but oh well.

    As long as they have a reason, ie they believe it is against their religion, however if they are just being ignorant I may argue with them about it until they gave me a good answer.

    there is one important thing: everybody should keep their opinion carrying, shouln't disturb the others with that

    If they say WHY they're not okay with Gay marriage, and if it's a good reason, I'm okay with that.

    But without reason, it's stupid.

    As long as they have a damn good reason then I'll respect their opinion. I may disagree with it but their entitled to it
