I just don't get the gay marriage debate. I really don't.
I'm going to start with a statistic. 91% of young people say they frequently hear things being referred to as "gay" that are bad - negative, things they don't like. A survey found 84% of young people say they frequently hear the words "faggot" and "dyke" in reference to other students (In The Life, Logo Channel). In a piece where I'm addressing gay marriage, you'd think those things aren't necessarily important. But that is my point. Often when debating the issue of gay marriage, or the issue of gays in the military, or any other gay rights issue, we are arguing the topic and not the issue. …

I am sorry that we are continuing to hurt each othe out here. I love my son, who is homosexual and has a partner. They have adopted a beautiful little boy and I love him dearly. Would I prefer that he was straight? Damn skippy! My son is adopted and I know that he has suffered trauma from the things his uncles, cousins, aunts, and his biological mom did to him. He still talks about it, and he is a social alcoholic.
It is just a matter of time before the baby comes to understand that neither one of them gave birth to him. Realistically, children are the product of heterosexual sex. They belong to the people of whom they are born.
They teach the baby that he has 2 daddies, 2 Grandmas, and 2 birth parents. I love them all, bUT will continue to pray for the baby. He is the one who may very well be angry, when he realizes that his parents gave him up because they were poor. His 2 daddies have enough money to influence his value system, but will he be happy about the confusion. He does not have a clue that no child born on this planet had 2 daddies,(including his),and that he may very well have an identity crises as an adult. It Doesn't matter if a child is raised by one heterosexual parent. It didn't kill Brook Shield, or Andre Watts, the concert pianist, or all of the basketball players, superstars, and artist on this planet.
We cannot change the laws of nature, just because we have some urges. God does not hate homosexuals. He doesn't hate prostitues either, but he doesn't want us to use our bodies for that which he has forbidden us to. If we think anal intercourse is sanitary, common since has died in this country. If someone wants to do this, leave them be. Just don't fool yourself into believing that you should legally sanction this deviance and identify it with what nature have devised. It doesn't matter how nice you are, or how kind, or that you want it. Prostitution is just as bad. We are spreading diseases like wild fires and sociey is going to pay. God does love people just as they are, and Christians can certainly do a better job of showing God's love to the homosexual community. However, if you think that loving you means that God will continue to allow any of us,(me included) to live a life that has detrimental effects to that which he has designed, you are in for a rude awakening. The Bible cries out against every form of sin that defys the commandments of a living God. Let the laws change, but God is immutable. You will never change him and he will never marry you in eternity. He did not make a mistake.He got it right the first time. That is why a baby will forever come from a woman. The truth is hard for all of us, and I don't want homsexuals to be verbally abused out here. But if your limbs break,to reset them will cause pain. We cannot live our lives by the pleasure pricipal. There is hope for you, but changing the world to accomadate your behavior is not the answer. Your situation is not like racism, God does not give you the right to marry each other. Live your life and enjoy it to the best of your ability, but your relationship is not given the sanctity of marriage by God. Believe it or not! There are people out here who love you as you are, but marriage is not American culture, it is God ordained! HE HAS THE LAST WORD ON IT!!!!!!!!!
