While I don’t care what two grown adults do with each other, don’t force me to call it something that it is not.
re: call it something that it is not
That’s the crux of the entire matter in my book. Marriage was instituted before there were any governments, as a religious matter. Government is a Johnny-Come-Lately actor in this.
A person’s sex preference and sex life is a matter between them and their supreme being. It only begins to be of interest to me when they want to force me to somehow bless their life or preference at the cost my beliefs.
I can certainly understand wanting the benefits of marriage even it the couple is of the same sex. But it’s simply not marriage. Call it something else. But sadly that seems to defeat the goals of many of those who want to force same sex marriage on those of us who find it at odds with our religious beliefs.
If the only way a same sex couple can feel complete in their relationship is to offend others then they haven’t much of a relationship to start with. IMHO.
