I agree totally. The state has zero rights to define something which is basically faith based and fundamental to being human.
Look, as I said, I have very good friends who are homosexual. One of them, the guy who sent me this story, in a long term relationship that outlasted the marriages of most of my heterosexual friends, literally saved my a$$ and my marriage. No jokes please!
Not a single one of them wants gay marriage. Civil unions, fair enough. I am not hugely happy with it, but it is what it is. I disagree from a moral and religious standpoint. As a friend I am happy for them, though most of them have not bothered.
To me, as a Christian and Catholic (yes, I seperate them sometimes - there are slightly different tacks depending on what hat you wear), their lives are simply and totally wrong. Against all teaching.
Yet it is their life. Not mine. I can talk to them, witness to them, but I can’t prevent them living as they wish. Watching a good friend following a path that is going to lead them to eternal damnation hurts. I pray hard for them every single day.
I don’t want my duly elected representatives - most of whom have problems in their personal lives too - sticking their nose in.
Because, in the interests of fairness and equality, those same politicians are going to degrade the sanctity of marriage as sure as eggs is eggs.
Two people - one man, one woman - joined before God in Holy Matrimony. That is marriage. Full stop, end of story.
We get it. My friend gets it. Why the H3ll doesn’t the government get it!
You seem to be promoting homosexual marriage, polygamy and the end of marriage, not resisting it.
If homosexuals, Mormons, Muslims, cults, and atheists, and assorted weirdos, all get to make up their own definitions of Marriage, then marriage is over.
“...in a long term relationship that outlasted the marriages of most of my heterosexual friends...”
Degenerates don’t stop being degenerates just because they are “married”. Moral degeneration is a dynamic process that never stops. Superficial comparisons aside, trust me you would not want to see the inside of this relationship.
