This man would attend a gay wedding on the same day I got a hysterectomy.
My younger brother is homosexual and moved to Massachusetts, I thought, with the intent of marrying his partner so I have actually had to think about this question.
If time and distance were not a factor and I was made to feel welcome, I might attend a civil ceremony. I would not attend a church wedding because I believe such a ceremony defiles the church where it takes place but were in a civil ceremony with a JP, not a minister, I could be a witness to it.
Truth is, gay marriage is still illegal in most states and ought to stay that way but I couldn’t totally rule out attending one if a) it was in a location where it was legal, b) it were not held in a church or conducted by a minister and c) was for someone whom I felt a sense of obligation to be there on behalf of the family. The chances of all three conditions being met are rather unlikely.
Does this disqualify me from being President?
The 2016 GOP benchmark:
Will you attend a homo wedding?
I have declined a small number of wedding invitations. Attending is an implicit endorsement and celebration of the occasion, and I refuse to imply that I approve when I do not. Gay “weddings” would fall into the same category.
