Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

Revelation 3:20

Men and women generally produce offspring. They are our future and they need protection until they come of age, therefore it is in societies interest to protect the relationship between their parents.

We’re not exactly setting records though. 50% divorce rate, Fewer children, school issues, we’re near last in western democracies in education standards. While I’m somewhat neutral on the issue of gay unions, I don’t view them as a threat to my family or my marriage. We do need to encourage a family setting but not at the expense of all those who don’t fit the mold, both straight and gay. I live in a community where almost half are gay couples. I’ve lived here now 16 years and haven’t seen any couples split up yet, either gay or straight. Some of the gay couples here have been together 20 or more years.

I’ve heard about gay promiscuity but I sure don’t see it in my community. I’ve heard a lot of the negatives and I haven’t seen it here.

“...men reproduce a lot more quickly than women...”

It takes a woman nine months to produce a baby, and, on average, eighteen months to reproduce (i.e., produce a female baby). How long does it take a man????

The fact is, the biggest pushers of gay marriage, know that few gays will get married. It has always been about legitimizing gay behavior, and making people consider it to be equal with heterosexuality.

Before Andrew Sullivan became more of a homosexual activist than he used to be, he commented that most homosexual men didn't want to be married, they just wanted to have a wedding.

Here's my challenge to you then. What is it about gay sex that makes a gay relationship any more significant than some other non-sexual relationship? For example, suppose that I and my brother live together and have a very close non-sexual relationship. Why is our relationship any less significant than the gay couple's down the street? Why is it any less significant than the straight couple's next door?

FWIW, I don't really care that much about gay marriage either. It won't bring about the end of the world, God's wrath or the downfall of civilization. I just think that state recognition of gay marriage is just a hare brained idea because these relationships are of no value to society at large.

Hopefully not in that order.

Anyone out there still think these people aren't mentally ill? This man is deeply, deeply disturbed. The fact that our society can turn such an individual into a celebrity means that we live in a sick culture.

Pray for him. Pray for Britain. Pray for America.

No value to you or me but value to them obviously. I’m not pushing gay marriage at all but I don’t see it as a threat to other relationships or to society either. I see lots of valueless domestic situations even within some families over the years. For me I’m happy with my family, my kids, my grandkids and my way of life and wouldn’t trade it for anything but I just don’t see the threat from those who live different lives as long as they are not harming anyone.

Hmmm. The Chevrolet... However, it must be noted that there are men who faithfully stick around even if the pregnancy occurred out of wedlock.

It’s my understanding that the divorce rates really don’t give an accurate picture of how many divorces actually occur. I think divorce rates are based on how many divorces occur per year versus how many marriages, although I may be mistaken. In other words, if you have 8 couples who have been married for 20 years, plus one couple who divorces and another that marries, you have a 50% divorce rate.
Does anybody else know how divorce statistics are tabulated?

Gay marriage does indeed affect the rest of society.
After gay marriage was instituted in Mass., gay-positive education was mandated for K-12, and it appears not to matter if parents object.
Also, what about health benefits payable to an HIV/AIDS infected spouse? I’m not saying that we should not be compassionate towards the sick, but we’re talking about small businesses suddenly having to pay much larger premiums for worker health insurance.
I’m sure that other people here can think of other examples of the affect of gay marriage. You’re just thinking of gay marriage not interfering with your everyday life, but there’s more to it than that. Just as it took 30 years for us to understand that no-fault divorce was harmful to children, so it will also take time for the results of this experiment to become apparent.
