Well, I guess this is very subjective for some people. Because in my religion this can not happen. No, I don't have to particiapte in a gay marriage any more than I would have to particiapte in a heterosexual marriage.

But, from my religious teachings, I would not accept a gay marriage as being a true marriage in the eyes of God. I mean, yes, gay people can go through the ceremony and call themselves married, but I don't have to acceppt it.

We have already had the animal and minor discussion. They are not adults at the age of consent who can make decisions for themselves. There's no point in going there again. I have already stated that I'm not convinced polygamy AMONG CONSENTING ADULTS should be illegal.

I know we've been over this issue ad nauseum, but it seems to me that you keep bringing it up on a tangental basis. Maybe I'm reading your posts wrong.

I don't see what harm it does if everybody who decides to get involved truly has a choice in the matter.

Because you have some hard core Christians out there who feel that it is their God-given duty to ensure everyone gets to heaven by saving the world from all types of sin.

For me personally, I'm not going to go out and beat people over the head to convince them to my way of thinking. But, if given the chance to vote on an issue, then I will according to my beliefs, what ever they may be.

You do realize that the majority of households in America do not fit your definition of a family?

Oh, sure. Again, however these people want to live their lives is fine. But, here again, if the opportunity comes for me to vote on how I think a family unit should exist, I will.
