My post is to everyone and in general terms (so when I post YOU, I don't mean you specifically, but in general).
Not legalizing gay marriages is NOT the same as telling someone what they can or can not do in their bedroom.
Someone earlier posted that
" any reason to deny same sex couples the right to marry is somehow based in religion. Where do you think the whole purpose and idea of "marriage" comes from? That's right, the Bible, which is not a specific religion, the actual word of God.
Marriage is reseved for a MAN and a WOMAN.
Here are a few examples:
Romans 1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
These a few of the many SPECIFIC passages that state that marriage is between a man and woman -no matter how you try to interpret it, twist it, or even attributed it to the soceity back during those times (which by the was during the time when the Bible was written, homosexuality was rampant) the meaning is still the same.
Now, any Christian will tell you that homosexuality is sin no different than those who engage in sex before marriage or someone who committs murder. Neither one is more acceptable than the other.
There are provisions for gay unions. Just like a hetrosexual couple that lives together outside of marriage, there are "common law "guidlines that every state has. although I am not sure how gay couples fit into this.
