I must admit that I was utterly against gay marriage a number of years ago. I thought, “Marriage is a sacred institution, a sacred bond between a man and a women in the eyes of God.” I likened it to my perceived hijacking of the symbol of the rainbow by the homosexual community, which represented God’s covenant to Man that he would not destroy the Earth by water again.
As I age, I find myself taking a step back, and letting the forces of God and nature do their own work. If two consenting adults, of their own free will, want to enter into a contract of marriage, then so be it…regardless of their sexual orientation. The government, in my experience, seems to, in a time of need, trumpet issues like gay marriage before the people in an effort to rally support from their respective bases.
In a free society let lawful, tax-paying citizens live their lives as they wish, so long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others.
