One of the arguments for marriage is that there would be less promiscuity, and less spreading of disease. Also, what is your opinion on the 80 year old woman who was in an exclusive relationship for 40 years, and when her partner died, the government took over 1/3 of a million dollars in estate taxes which would not have happened if they were legally married?

Bad legal planning. A simple trust would have fixed it.

And I’m not certain that “marriage” could have avoided it.

Homosexuality is still sin. Just like adultery, drunkenness, thievery, murder.

If you can’t preach against sin, you can’t preach the gospel.

As Billy Graham said, before you can get people saved, you have to get them lost first.
