1. There is a difference between your personal moral code and the types of moral codes that should be legislated. The subject of marriage is not something that in any way shape or form should be legislated about.
2. So what if you win this round? All you are doing is creating a dangerous precedent to where the leading religious majority's moral code is enacted into legislation...which is all fine and dandy while you agree with it. But what happens when the leading religious majority is a majority you don't agree with it all? Does anyone want to see us turn into Iran, where strict religious codes are made into public law? And don't even tell me that's far fetched. In supporting the right for all people to marry, you are supporting your right to have a personal opinion about it and you are also supporting your right to maintain private religion and not have the government involved.
3. If you are worried about the sancity of marriage, maybe we should look a little harder at the divorce rate in this country. Even in Christian circles the sancity of marriage is something that is long forgotten. There is nothing that gives you the right as a heterosexual couple to walk all over the sancity of the commitment of marriage while denying the same right to a homosexual couple. Your both sinning anyhow.
4. I also think polygamy should be legalized. I am very confused as to why that wasn't the first battle...it seems like a more natural progression to wear people down.
FYI: I do not think homosexuality is anything to be condoned, just like I don't think gossip is right or lying to your two year old about Santa Claus. (Notice I said Christians should "politically' support Gay Marriage...not support the idea of it) BUT there is some foresight that needs to be accounted for when looking at this issue. We should be supporting the individual's rights in order to keep our own protected and safe in the future.
