What would Jesus do?

I have a question for those reading this who are against Gay Marriage, What would Jesus do? Jesus, who preached love and compassion, Jesus who said in the sermon of the mount " Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven", Jesus who said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Would he prosecute God's children? Would he "cast the first stone"? No he would not, and neither should you. Jesus taught basically two things, love God and love one another. In fact, love is the basis for almost every religion, so I must ask, why are we segregating love? Why are we violating Jesus?

I share George Bernard Shaw's sentiments when he asked "Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination?". I feel the need to ask how many more. How many more Christs must die? How many more Martin Luther King's must be shot? How many more Harvey Milks must be gunned down? How many more young gays must be murdered? how many deaths will it take till we know that too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
