If you go back and read my posts, this is only about Biblical references. Which aren't magically changed when someone changes their religious stance. The Bible says what it says, not what people want it to say. If they don't like it they should probably go make their own Bible; you know, like the Mormon's did.
So what are the anti-gay-marriage Mormons ignorant of? And the A.G.M. Jews? And the A.G.M. Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus? And the A.G.M. atheists? What are all these people ignorant of? Or are they just haters?

If they are basing their arguments on the Bible, then they are ignorant of what is in that text (or willfully ignoring what it says). I could be shown to be wrong about this with proper Biblical quotes, but I've been unable to find anything to substantiate those views or find anyone that can point to such quotes. With the possible slightly vague exception of Matthew 19:4-6, but then that just raises questions of hypocrisy in most people citing it.
If they are just pulling their rationalizations out of thin air, then they aren't necessarily ignorant per se, just homophobic haters. Although perhaps an argument could be made that they must be ignorant of the nature of homosexuals and homosexual culture if they hate them so much with so little basis. But I don't care to make that argument; I'll let someone else deal with that one should it be necessary.
