Obvious there are many debates on this, but with an election year I wonder if any opinions have changed.
I'm still riding the rail. Why it's a mute issue for me and I have no use for it, I still am concerned with the constitutional aspects of it.
Even if my faith or beliefs are against it, should I have the right in America
to force my beliefs on others?
The other aspect is I don't thing gay marriage would ruin traditional marriage. However, I also am concerned with the pushing of the gay agenda in our schools, ect..Like my son in the fourth grade was read a book in school why little Jimmy had two fathers. Schools are not a place
to force the gay agenda.
However, most are now supporting civil unions...sort of like Marriage Lite.
I think that's stupid. That's people playing with words to make them feel better. We should get rid of civil unions or allow gay marriage and stop playing with words.
From a Christian perspective, even if you do not agree with it, would it not be better to promote monogamy through marriage. Many children are denied benefits because of lack of gay marriage. Is it wrong to punish them? Even if you are the most radical, would this be a lessor of two evils?
Gays are not going away. Because we may not like or accept the behavior, doesn't stop them from living in relationships. Even without marriage, nothing changes as we view how they live. We have a gay couple in our hood, two women with 3 children. They are not married due to law, but in every aspect they live that way. Not giving them a piece of paper doesn't change anything. As we view this lifestyle, nothing about marriage would change what we now see.
My concern is they are robbed of many constitutional rights for being gay.
These are rights all Americans should have.
Again, I am against this behavior. However, I accept we do not live in a theocracy and I can't force my views on them, so it becomes a legal issue. I think all should view this as a legal issue and deal with it such.
There are problems though..if we don't define marriage, that could lead to many things...If people are free to marry in any way, what about 5 men, 3 women and 1 man, ect...two couples, ect.. Should we define marriage as a relationship between two people only, if so, would that be against peoples right to choose as they please. One problem with gay marriage, is
all want to jump on it legally, polygamist, ect...
