I tire of old biblical culture and laws being forced on others simply because we call it tradition. Women had no rights in the bible, they were owned by the husband or father and many of the laws dealt with women in cruel fashion. Biblically men took on many wives and concubines and in cases God stated he even provided more wives. These traditions continued for hundreds of years among jew and gentiles after Christ. These traditions were slowly done away with. Slavery was another accepted tradition that was only put away with by war and secular law.
We run our nation on a constitution, not old biblical law or commands, to deny two loving people a right to marry, raise children and share property is pure hate.
To say marriage between a man and a woman is what builds soceity is rather silly, 70% divorce, millions of kids not provided for, etc..."normal" marriage hardly holds any claim to morality. Seems it would be better to embrace marriage as a good thing for any two loving people.
Tired of all the gay parades, etc...give people equal rights and all that stuff would go away.
We have a gay couple in our neighborhood that have lived together for over 20 years here, they raised two wonderful kids. They're denied many rights themselves and for their kids. Can't understand why Christians would want to deny medical coverage for children if one spouse could provide for it
