Gay laws are the least of our problems. I mean... do you really care about the gays?

Yes. I care a great deal about my homosexual family members and friends. I care that they are wounded people who are enslaved to a sinful act. I also care about the damage to marriage and family that widespread acceptance of the so-called homosexual lifestyle causes.

That being said, the fact that many of my fellow Christians get so fired up over faggotry puzzles me. Yes, homosexuality is a filthy, antisocial vice, but it's a helluva lot less damaging to society than divorce. Our Lord never mentioned sodomy by name, but He forbade divorce and remarriage specifically and in no uncertain terms. Yet most of the "Christian" people who castigate the homos for being immoral think it's perfectly okay to make a mockery of the God-given Sacrament of Marriage by marrying and divorcing and remarrying.

I'm against "gay marriage", but my fellow Christians who believe in divorce and remarriage are just as guilty of destroying the institution of marriage as the swishiest Mr. & Mr. in Massachusetts.

I'd rather my boy be a flaming faggot than the kind of "straight man" who would dump his wife like garbage.

Good points. I think in a Constitutional sense, the Federal Government should be silent on marriage and have a flat income tax only. Ideally, all government should stay out of marriage, a libertarian option, from standards, age limits and so on, where it would be between the man and woman, or whomever and their church (or other religious body if any) and leave it at that. Even if others do not recognize the marriage in their hearts, at least between the parties involved, they will still be married in their hearts and minds. However, we don't have an ideal system like that so the next best option is to have each State decide by the efforts of their people that reside in them be it full homosexual marriage, civil unions or marriage just between a man and a woman.

The thing is that homosexuals have always been around and doing the same things for thousands of years. What I really object to is the in your face stuff. I think if they lived their lives like anyone else and kept it in the bedrooms, it would not be a problem at all, live and let live. Heck, I know some homosexuals that are dead set against what Obama is doing to this country as we are. We need "boots on the ground" here and IMHO, we need all we can. I'm much more worried about the direction this country is headed under Obama, if we all go into the drink, it will not matter who is gay or straight, we all will burn together.

We all will have to answer to God for what we did in life and then he will judge each of us accordingly. I don't think homosexuals should burn for eternity either but I do think like the rest of us, we might have to accept some form of temporary penance in the Afterlife.

We got to quit beating up on each other and quit the in your face stuff, we have much bigger fish to fry. In return, we need to use the old science fiction axiom of different genres, "if you don't wiz on my tree, I won't wiz on yours."

I would frame the threat to our society as being promiscuity. Homosexual and heterosexual promiscuity are both a threat to public health, to the up-bringing of children, and to people’s happiness and virtue. And since heterosexuals are much more common, it would make sense to spend more time, not less, on cleaning up heterosexual behavior.

Fidelity is one of the undervalued virtues of our time.
