I agree with Lurkette... no one seems to budging.
I see no problem with Gay marriages.
1.) Marriage is a religious institution. Not so much. How many people are married by a Justice of the Peace, Ship's Captain, Judge, etc. Are they married? Yes. It is a marriage and there is no God.
2.) But the definintion of marriage is man and woman and as a purist I don't want to see that changed... Well it wasn't all that long ago that women and blacks were not considered Citizens as defined by law. That changed with the times too.
3.) But God says it's wrong. Well then he can just come down and smite my ass if I'm wrong. Let's face it. However you personally feel about homosexuals is fine. You don't like them. So be it. The law of the land (which supercedes religious law) states that we are all equal under the law regardless of race, religion, sex, etc. As such the law about marriage needs to reflect that.
Progress doesn't always smell very good but it will roll over you regardless.
