Well Willowsr you certainly know how to make an entrance.
- We are not discussing controlling what occurs in the bedroom, we are discussing what happens at the marriage registry.
- Politicians get involved in these issues because they believe that marriage and the family is an issue that relates to "child molesters", "spousal abuse" and "eduction". Crazy huh!

Unfortunately... Politicians are unable to make a distinction and pass laws regarding sodomy and 'same sex' rights... it's not about sex as you said... it's about respecting one persons lifetime commitment to another and changing the legal system to address todays societal needs... it has NOTHING to do with sex, child molestation, or whatever...
btw... once... in my "Crusader" days, I associated persons in same sex relationships with child molesters... I got over that and apologized for being that closed minded and hateful and ignorant.

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." - (NIV, Mathew 19:4-6)

guess we could make this a bible verse 'shootout'... flipping to the book of Ruth *grin*...
But.... I'm not going to do that... I had my "Crusader" days ... I was "holier than thou" to a very dear friend... I 'rebuked' her in the name of God and all that is holy... then... after two years of hatefullness to her... I spent a 'mens prayer weekend' at church... ya' know what came to me in prayer?
I was the one who was judged... I was wrong... and I was compelled to ask forgiveness of the one I rebuked.
I eventually got the balls to do so... and do you know what she did? She asked if she could give Me a hug... I was humbled as I'd never been humbled before... I learned about love...
Maybe we could spread a little more of that around...
