I appreciate what youa re saying
My brother is gay and he is themsot unhappy depressed man I know of.
He is never happy about anything, When he cam out we all exceptedit and try to toelrate him and his actions. We are verymuch into the things of JEsus and my Mom and Dad and my Husband and I are both MIssionarys, We love the person hate the sin. I am proud to have a man for my partner. And do not feel same sex marriage is appropriate but that is my opinion. I am also totally against abortion,. We cannot have children and feel these babies could be adopted. But its not up to me. Most woman who have had an abortion go thru severe mental problems. Its a proven fact.
So All I fo is pray that people will go to God before they make thier life choices.
Thank you

It is hard to explain fully why I DO have a problem with it; it is made up of several components that may mean nothing to anyone else, but mean something to me.
For one, I don't believe this is an appropriate lifestyle- so I don't want to see it become so mainstream that my children HAVE to accept it as 'normal'.
Call that opinion what you will- but the gay people I've known (happens to be quite a lot) are NOT carefree, happy people. All seem to have come to that lifestyle as a result of abnormal childhoods, abuse, etc.. Most seem perfectly miserable and unable to maintain healthy family relationships. No I don't assume the whole gay population feels that way- but we all base our views on our own experiences, like it or not.
For another, I DO believe in a slippery slope. If this lifestyle is accepted- to the point of making these 'spouses' eligible for all the rights of marriage; what is next? Who is to say that bigamists and pedophiles won't seek the same 'acceptance'?
Finally, I feel like offering the sanctity of legal marriage to this population cheapens what marriage is designed to be. It will also make it easier for them to adopt; which I am VERY against. Having taught for 10 yrs.- I have seen the effects of children raised in this environment many times; it has NEVER been good for the child.
At any rate, I know there are 'signal words' in my post that Liberals will react to and want to attack. The point is- this is what I believe. |
