Is Gay marriage necessary today or immoral?

[Infamous12]

I was just discussing this issue with my Sands the other day as we looked over the sample election ballot.....

Homosexuality is a sin. This is true. However, I have a problem with the emphasis some people (Christians and nons alike) put on this sin...it's no different than lying...stealing..cheating, etc. (I went to a statewide church convention in Ohio where the ministers literally preached that 'homosexuality was the ultimate sin'...I thought blasphemy and denying Christ as our Lord and Saviour was the 'ultimate sin') As far as whether I personally feel that it should be allowed by the government, I say 'Sure, why not.' If that's how two people choose to live their lives, and do so peacefully - then I'm all for it. I honestly feel that the time and effort some states' governments are putting in to 'ban gay marriage' is ridiculous. There are so many more pertinent education, racial, and economic issues that we should be focused on, but yet in practically every election we must try and refine how two mature, consenting adults define their relationship.
