You don’t have to back it or like it at all, and I don’t think homosexuals should get any special rights, I also don’t believe anyone should be forced to cater to them.

My whole point is that we shouldn’t write laws that prevent 2 consenting adults from doing as they please together behind closed doors.

You don’t have to call it marriage if you don’t want or even accept it no matter what the name, I support that right.

As for a business, they shouldn’t have to offer benefits to a gay couple if it violates their religious beliefs, no one should have to preform any actions that violate their beliefs, no matter the religion.

Having to offer benefits and various tax exemptions for married couples that gays would have if they are allowed to marry shouldn’t be a deciding factor in the discussion because those are forced under federal laws that shouldn’t exist to begin with, to include the tax code.

I also don’t support the militant in your face gay community, I don’t want to see straight couples making out and getting frisky in front of children any more than gay couples, it’s all the same to me, that’s private behind closed doors activity and should remain that way.

Well, I don't either. It's a sin; that's God's business, and he will take care of it Himself. After all, He hasn't delegated that to anyone else. But we should warn our erring brothers.

As for the point about marriage and the tax laws: well, we got into the current mess one step at a time, and will have to extract ourselves from it either the same way, or the wa the Founding Fathers did. Until then, though, there is no point in making it worse.
