God forbid anybody anybody disrespect an institution that's perpetuated centuries of homophobic oppression. It's not like equality is more important than your straight-ass traditions or anything.
And I'm just saying that "it's disrespectful to its origins" is not a valid argument, because institutions that oppress people don't deserve respect until they stop oppressing people.
"it's disrespectful to its origins" Is a fact (if you know your history), not an opinion, so it's quite valid as an argument.
"institutions that oppress people don't deserve respect until they stop oppressing people."
That on the otherhand is an valid opinion, not a valid fact.
Because it's breaking the law of the religion that created it. It's not an opinion, it's a written fact. If it wasn't disrespectful, gays would have been getting married for the last 2000 years and the entire issue wouldn't exist in the first place!
I'm not saying you have to like it and i can see why many wouldn't, but that doesn't change it from being true.
People who aren't part of your religion aren't being disrespectful by not following your religion's rules, they're just not being part of your religion.
What do you think of same sex marriage?

I'm not sure how you figure that whether something is disrespectful isn't a matter of opinion.
