| warlord74 said: Your the one who asserted that Jesus never spoke out against homosexuality which is incorrect. Then you go on some rant about how irrational the bible is trying avoid the fact that your facts were wrong. If you got that point wrong maybe your wrong on your view of homosexual behavior. Think about it. Marriage is the unique institution that unites mother and father with their biological offspring. Do we need an institution in society that unites children with their father and mother? Does the state have an public interest in promoting this type of family relationship. What is the public interest of recognizing of a committed relationship of two people versus the assertions above? How does this unite mother and father with their biological offspring? |
I'm a Christian, but it's not my job to tell other people how to live their life. That's between them and God, none of my business. One reason that Gays want to get married is for the legal benefits, including hospital visitation (though this has already been addressed in the US), the ability to make medical decisions, ineheritance, etc. Whether I believe that homosexual acts are right or wrong is irrelevant to the fact that they should have the same legal rights as me. There's no reason one should go bankrupt because the 'inheritance' of a business gets taxed as a gift, or that one should not be able to visit the other in the hospital or make medical decisions for the other even if that is their wish. That's why I'm for Civil Unions, there's no reason to deny somebody rights just because you disagree with them. The public interest of recognizing that committed relationship is for the legal benefits for those involved in that relationship.
