They always seem so concerned over the personal lives of a perfectly legal and natural demographic - even to the point of abject hatred. What they fail to realize is that they are actively oppressing a group of people by denying them the right to marriage and civil union, as well as protection from the rampant discrimination that they face these days.
Yet strangely, another demographic doesn't want to see them granted equal rights, often citing frivolous claims from books that they themselves do not even abide by, making their claims hollow and weak. Their attacks are rabid and filled with unreasonable anger, and encumbered by circular reasoning.
I firmly believe, that in most cases of homophobia, that it is their strongly repressed sexuality, as stated in the New York Times:
"empirical evidence that homophobia can result, at least in part, from the suppression of same-sex desire."

It seems the more anti-gay they are, the more likely they are to be caught slurping a noodle behind a 7/11 dumpster, or purchasing male prostitutes online, or having anonymous sex in bathrooms, or molesting their assistants, or gettings caught at gay bars, or getting caught buying prostitutes in person, or .....
And lets not forget - the more vehemently anti-gay they are - The gayer we all know they are.

From a Christian standpoint, there are many MANY verses in the Bible that tell us that homosexuality is wrong. Most of these can be found Leviticus.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

However, there is hope. The Bible also says, 1 Corinthians 6:11 - "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Homosexuals are not automatically condemned to hell. If they were to chose to accept God into their hearts, and lives, and repent of their sins, and turn away from homosexuality, they could be saved and go to Heaven. :)
Oh and one last thing. For all that is good and holy, can people just STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM?
Secondly, many of those verses are from the Old Testament, which is when the land was under God's law. Now, we are under God's grace. That doesn't mean we can do whatever we want and just say, "Oh, God, forgive me," and then go back to sinning. It also doesn't mean that we are okay to disobey, mock, and disrespect our parents. The consequences are just a little less extreme. When Jesus was crucified to save sinners (like you and I) the Law was abolished and we are under grace. However, I realize that two verses I used in defense of my beliefs were from Leviticus, but there are things in the New Testaments that condemn homosexuals. As well as adulterers, prostitutes, murderers...
As for the last verse you brought up, did you not read before that? The verse before that says, "O, Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction. Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us - he who seizes your infants, and dashes them against the rocks." - verses 8 and 9 (NIV). It's about revenge. Which the Bible also condemns. The Bible says that God is a just God, and that we shouldn't go about revenge ourselves, but God will bring perfect justice to them.

I actually had a discussion with my girlfriend';s conservative father on the matter a few days ago, and he laid out what his issue was with gay marriage pretty clearly. He believed that both a male an a female influence ought to be present in a child's upbringing, and that the only purpose of sex outside of procration was to bond the couple raising the child. He also believed that the kid growing up in a gay household would confuse the.
Now, all of those reasons are obviously rife with fallacy and mistakes, (and I can't even begin to enumerate how many holes I punched into them) but they're not as simple as being childish or projecting your self-hatred.
political football?
They are moronic or brainwashed.
