There are no degrees or different levels of sin, as we like to say about lies, e.g., "a big lie" vs. a "little white lie" (no pun intended).

My personal understanding is that the right type of relationship is between a married man and woman. Anything other than that is sinful, be it fornication, adultery, prostitution, bestiality and homosexuality.

Meanwhile, I have yet to see a tattoo/shellfish/mixed fabric/divorce/women menstruating indoors rally or debate on the news.

You're awesome. If we weren't allowed to menstruate indoors, would we continue to get paid for our time off work? Or would they have to set up my computer outside? And that mixed fabric rally? I am SOOOOO in. You KNOW those poly-cotton blenders are going to hell.

If you're in a poly-cotton blend, you're already in hell.

IMO that's because those groups don't seem to have as much of a strong political voice. Or even make a strong political and financial impact / difference.

We are a money-driven nation. Issues only really matter here when a lot of money is at stake. There is money to be made as a result of gay marriage. If its in your financial interest to push for gay marriage, then you will.

(I'm looking at you, all you divorce lawyers......)

We can talk about what is and is not truly moral all day. I doubt one side will really convince the other.

I've been saying this for years

If nothing else, gay couples splitting maybe have an arguable argument that their partnership is a legal partnership and they are due the protection of the courts, but I haven't had the opportunity to try that yet. I'm sure our civil judges would love me bringing essentially a divorce case to them though. Hope I get that opportunity before we just get 'em divorced like everyone else.
