  The debate could rage on forever about the right or wrong of homosexuality. I can respect that and I can respect the side of that argues that people are born gay. Wired that way. It's genetics. My answer to that is that there have been studies about serial killers and the most brutal of murderers that show that they, too, were "born that way". That doesn't make their actions right and it certainly doesn't give them special rights as a minority group. (Though I think a few Democrats could make a compelling case about it...) And I'm straight. Yes, born that way. I am proud that the President I voted for is taking a stand, because to me, refusing to take a stand is a volitile way of life.
I saw interviews with people on the news in the last few days, and some of them are of the opinion "let other people do what they want as long as it doesn't affect me". But they are ignorant because passing a law to recognize same sex marriages does affect them. Already, I have thought about how I could possibly explain to my children that the government thinks it's okay for a man to marry a man or woman to marry a woman, but God doesn't. Because, see, I may be a minority in my belief that God's view of marriage is the only few of marriage, and I have right to shelter my children from people who would teach otherwise. Since we've taken God out of everything else, then gay people wishing to get married need to realize that God didn't sanction that. Have we forgotten about Soddom and Gomorrah? Has God not told us what becomes of societies that allow freely homosexuality? Don't confuse my disagreement with intolerance. I know a few gay people and I don't think by virtue of being gay that you've purchased a one-way ticket to hell. God is also loving and forgiving, and one must only come to Him with faith that Jesus Christ died for our sins to be saved. The second part of salvation is repentance. And I think a gay person may realize that their lifestyle is not what God intended but they can know no other way, and in that light they should be respectful enough of God, the Christian religion, and Biblical teachings to not ask that their relationship be recognized by God and society as a marital union.
For the Bible says, "...in the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and said for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. " And compellingly enough, in the same passage in (In Matthew 19), after being questioned about divorce, Jesus tells the disciples "...for some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it. " Which I believe is telling us that you should only choose marriage of you can accept the laws of God that come with it.
Of course, we could go on and on... I am fearful that a laisez-faire attitude toward gay marriage is like pulling th plug on the human race. There is a specific NON BIBLICAL reason that man and woman exist, and that's also to keep the human race alive.
And though the nuclear family seems to be a thing of the past, I can't accept a couple of gay women to have children by some guy who's happy he'll never have to commit, or a couple of gay guys that convince their best friend to bear children they can raise without her. I'm not saying these people are incapable parents, I'm just saying it's not right, it is not what God intended for us, and if one of my children grows up and announces homosexuality, I will love them all the same but I will never agree with the lifestyle.
