Mark, I understand why you want what you want. for your own reasons it’s important to you, whether anyone else agrees with legalizing gay marriage or not.
What do you think about Brutus’ point though? If gay marriage is allowed to remain legalized in this state and any other, what’s to stop polygamy and anything else people feel should be legalized and sanctioned by the government. What do I tell my sons when they ask me “Mommy, why is that man allowed to have 5 wives?”? When they see that it’s sanctioned by society and becoming commonplace, how do I feel when it’s something they start thinking they should do too.
Like I said before, even though I don’t agree with the lifestyle, I’m don’t stand in judgement on anyone who is a homosexual. However, that doesn’t mean I approve of gay marriages being legalized.
Mark, I sympathize with you. I don’t want to see anyone in angst. However, to a lot of people, it’s not about sympathy. Like I posted above, there are other considerations.
