Leaving aside God and the Bible for just a minute....
just to let me ask this one short question...

if two guys want to live together, there’s nothing stopping them... and there are anti-discrimination laws to try to help them insofar as public accomodations and employment etc etc are concerned

why do some homosexuals insist we call it a “marriage!?”

(in soe staets they already had equivalent “civil union” licenses that gave the all the same sorts of rights and responsiblities as married couples anyway)

what’s the big deal about calling their civil unions “Marriages”

a lot of traditional folks don’t like the homosexual lifestyle, socalled, but are willing to let them alone...let them live as they wish at home

and a few less people like the states issuing “civil union licenses”

but... far less people approve of calling 2 guys a “married” couple. Its (in part) the use (or misuse) of the word itself.

Why do some homosexuals insist we use that word for them?
To some degree....we are all stuck fighting over a word

what’s their point?

Tolerating it is not enough. You MUST like it, embrace it, celebrate it, try it, convert your kids to it, and you definitely have to march in their parades - nothing less is acceptable.

Their point is they want to be called and considered normal. For umpteen hundred or more years they were called queers...even among themselves. But being called a queer sets them apart from normal society, thereby they are considered abnormal. By just changing the name they think or hope that they gain normalcy. And the left is heavily into the semantics game.

[[why do some homosexuals insist we call it a “marriage!?”]]

Because once they have the ‘state’s blessings’ on marriage, then they can go after churches and religious people who bake cakes, do photography, make banners etc. and DEMAND that they participate in celebrating the ‘marriage’ between the two homosexuals-

That’s why- And once the states declare it’s a marriage, then the supreme court will step in and declare it a constitutional right, and anyone NOT catering to the homosexuals will be violating their constitutional rights

They were NEVER ‘just going for marriage’ they WERE ALWAYS going for the destruction of Christians, morals, and churches etc- They are a bitter angry group of people who are upset that God doesn’t approve of their disgusting sinful acts, and they WILL make EVERYONE around them miserable because of it

Their point is they want you to validate their sinful behavior.

If we can decide on our own what sin is and what laws or commandments we should obey, what will be next?
