I guess this is directed toward AlphaGamDiva, or whomever else wants to answer.
Okay, we've determined the (Christans'? Conservatives'? Just trying to generalize those who are against gay marriage for religious reasons, not trying to offend anyone!) problem w/ gay marriage is that marriage is a holy union designed by God.
What about civil unions? Would you be opposed to that? It extends the legal rights to gay couples w/o involving religion, so I don't see how that could be offensive.
If you're a Christian, you'll probably still think the gay couples who are joined in a civil union are "living in sin" or whatever, but people do sinful things every day. Technically, sleeping w/ someone before marriage is a sin...so by that reasoning there should be a law making it illegal to have sex before marriage. Just a thought.
Oh, and Rudey, I personally would prefer that Kerry not say he was against gay marriage (if he truly wasn't) just to win the election. If he is against it, but didn't say it, then yes, he made a mistake. But that's just me. :shrug:
