The dear politicians today think that gay marriage is a key issue during this election. So lets talk about it. I think that my fellow Christians need to recognize that in this day in age homosexuals are more open about their sexuality because there is greater acceptance. There are churches and synagogues that appeal directly to homosexuals. I think that as a whole Christians are going to have to get over the fact that there are going to be homosexuals and they are going to want to have the same privileges of getting married or have the same the rights as a married couple (civil union). Even my own grandparents and my grandpa is a pastor suggested that civil unions and benefits should be given to them. My sect of Christianity has been more open than other sects.
Personally, I do not feel all to happy about gay marriage and I PERSONALLY do not support it. However, I am not going to get all stressed out if it passes nor join the protests against it because it is not my place to tell someone who they can get married to. They could go do what they want and be who they want to be, so let them. God tell us to love everyone for who they are and in the New Testament having faith in God is very important and if you have faith in Him you will go to heaven. If homosexuals would go to hell for being gay than I would go to hell for swearing or drinking too much on nights that I go out.
So my personal belief is that gay marriage is wrong, but who am I to tell someone who should they should marry.
Also gay marriage is not something for the federal government to decide, maybe it is the states decision to decide. Who knows the Supreme Court decided in the social issue of abortion and porn so eventually they will make a decision on gay marriage. The federal government taking on social issues is a totally different issue.
