Gay marriage is against my religion. However, I am not a homophobe, neither are many Muslims, because that mentality would go against the Koran.
There is nothing wrong with two people of the same sex wanting to commit. Religion should not be taken into consideration when enforcing such policies. The Islamic Sharia law is exactly what's wrong with the Middle East, because it's ruining how "outsiders" perceive Islam. How is this religious text any different than the Bible which states that a marriage should only take place between a "man" and a "woman"? It's exactly the same in the Koran.
If it's against the beliefs of their religions, then they should know the consequences of participating in a homosexual relationship. The Koran promotes freedom of decision and independence. No one has the right to disallow people in love from taking their normal, functioning relationship up to another level. It would cause nothing but unhappiness and further chaos if everyone continued calling homosexual relationships "a mockery" and homosexuals "sinners." Personally I think gay people should have the right to get married, because regardless of their sexual preferences, they are still people who should be afforded the same rights as other people whose preferences may be different from theirs.
It doesn't mean that I'd do it, being a Muslim and all. But it also doesn't give me the right to hate or protest against them because it's as bad as racism which is highly discouraged in the Koran.
A homosexual who goes to the mosque is still better than a hetereosexual who doesn't follow the five basic pillars of Islam.
