Time to remove some bad shepherds from their flocks.

I chair the ministry commission for my denomination in Florida and we have a set policy to perform no gay marriages, no civil unions. We only do weddings between one man and one woman.the day that changes I am outta there...if the govt mandates I do it...I will become a resistor. We need to stop the slide to sodom an gomorrah and get back on the path which leads to the narrow gate.

Gays should start their own religion and worship themselves.

So will this church perform weddings between two sisters or two brothers? If not why? Is there a functional difference between a same-sex marriage between two same-sex siblings or two unrelated same-sex couple?

Seriously. It is not as if violating the incest taboo would lead to children. It seems no more “unnatural” than any other same-sex pairing. I mean, once you arbitrarily reject one moral value, how can you refuse to object a similar one?

Further, I can see utility between sibling marrying under those conditions, especially in states where uncontested divorces are low-cost and simple. It would allow two siblings to file at married rates, which could be useful if one sibling has a high-paying job and a second is in college.

Besides, gays have claimed for years that the gummint doesn't belong in the bedroom. If it does not matter with whom you are sleeping, it does not matter with whom you are not sleeping. If two brothers or two sisters wish to take advantage of gays wanting to pretend that playing house is marriage, why should they be stopped?

Of course, this makes a mockery of marriage, but no more so than redefining marriage from its traditional definition of a union between one woman and one man.

There is vast difference between holy matrimony and a civil union. The first is a sacred commitment between a man and a woman seeking God’s blessings. The second is a commitment between two people seeking the government’s approval. The sacrament of marriage is a part of God’s plan for His people. A civil union is a state sanctioned contract. The government has the ability to sanction an infinite variety of civil contracts: two men, two women, one man and four women, one woman and two men, two brothers, and on and on. Holy Matrimony was created by God to bless His people. The government created civil unions(state sanctioned marriage) as a contract between two (or more) people.
