i agree.
gay people should not get married
we are getting invaded by them.
Ignorance..Life is what you make it. So what if there are gays and lesbians around you. They're not harming you in any way. Politicians,religious liberals, prejudice people, ignorant people, even they need love and hapiness. Right? Focus on your own and enjoy the one life you have instead of using your time and energy on someone elses business. The ignorance is spreading and the fight will continue. Same sex marriages is not about the sex, it's about the marriage. Everyone is entitled to equal rights and so it shall be.
there is nothing wrong with gay marriages, do you know how many straight people destroy the meaning of marriage each year, day? people need to stop worring about the neighbor living next to us and worry about our own families. i hate to be mean but maggie Gallagher is just against gay marriages due to the fact that she isnt happy with her self, look into her family background, i'll bet you'll find something rather odd, and the truth remains she and along with many others can waste there breath cause gay marriage isnt going to stop, and gays arent going to quite being gay.
For anyone who cares, I'd like to say that I've since changed my understanding of this issue. I no longer think that "the case is clear" as far as Christianity is concerned, nor do I hold the above views about how same-sex marriage relates to the idea of marriage in general.
I guess one thing I do hold, though, would be that same-sex couples are not able to experience the joy of having their own biological children, a joy unique to heterosexual couples. In this way (borrowing the language of the theologian Ray Anderson), same-sex unions are beset by a particular dimension of the "tragic" inherently wired into all human experience, especially experiences of sexuality.
Yet, even so, the practice of adoption that same-sex couples may choose is entirely worthy of affirmation. The loving adoption of abandoned/orphaned children, I think, is a societal good that I think most sound-minded Christians will find hard to deny.
