Gay Marriage Ruling

[Anonymous]

golfgal: “Marion, you didn’t address my question about divorce? I believe the Bible says men and woman should not divorce unless there is infidelity involved. Even then, divorce shouldn’t be an absolute. What happened to your vows “till death do us part”? What does that teach your children about love, committment, family?”

My husband walked out on me and expected me to be there waiting for him after he said he never wanted to be with me again. He came back nine months later to find me in bed with another man.

“…What about sex outside of marriage?”

According to my faith, it’s wrong, but I’ve been doing it anyway.

I never said I was perfect or Ms. Holier-than-thou. I do a lot of things against my religion and what the Bible says is wrong, I don’t hide that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t express my opinion on gay marriages.

What does it teach your children if you’re bringing different men home who are not their father and if you’re having sexual relations with these men? What if your children walk in on you?

I never bring my boyfriends home with me to have sex when my children are there. So, for me it is a non-issue.

Should we force you to wear the badge of shame in the form of a scarlet A? Do you see how easy it is to judge others?

I made it clear that I didn’t sit in judgement of gay people. I stated I didn’t agree with the lifestyle and I don’t believe same-sex relationships are normal.

Sorry, I get HOT when people suggest that because you are a liberal minded person(more to the middle/my husband is a “reformed republican” also to the middle) you are somehow not patriotic.

Though I may be throwing my vote away, I will vote on principle in this case.

” What is the result of sex between the male and the female of the species? The result is offspring. The result is procreation. The result is the next generation of our species.”

WTF? So everytime your having sex your trying to have children?

I AM DOING IT ALL WRONG. I was trying to have an orgasm.;)

I love you, but, I am sorry to have to break this to you girl. The bible is NOT comepletely fact. Can you remember the first post on this topic. Everything that it said perfectly? Probably not, so how then can a book handed down by word of mouth for 60 to 100 years before it was written down be factual? So whatever you did, I am sure your not going to hell for or is wrong. Believe in yourself.

For all those concerned about gays getting married in churches, rest your worried mind. Churches are not obligated to marry anyone. Many churches are very stringent requirements.

For example, some Catholic churches require that you be a parishioner for a minimum of a year. Any mission in San Diego falls under Catholic churches. You have to be accepted as a parishioner. If you’ve been divorce before, you have to get an annulment through the church, a rather lengthy process where you have to prove the marriage should never have occurred in the eyes of God. Then the Pope has to approve it.

I am certain that churches will indicate who they will allow to be members of their church.

On another note, if I were gay, it would be difficult to follow some of the belief systems of the church and I probably wouldn’t want to get married in one. Why any gay people would want to get married in a church is beyond me. It seems like an odd choice on their part considering their lifestyle and I don’t understand their reasoning on that.

I continue also to find it amusing when people pick and choose which parts of the bible they wish to follow, accept and agree w/while condemning others for not following other parts.

A key point for me is, as Mark Holmes posted early in the discussion, marriage rights are a life-changing, crucial matter for gay couples, and a preference (whether strong or weak) for the rest of us. One can oppose gay marriage, but stop well short of amending a constitution to ban it. To do otherwise is to hazard democracy becoming the proverbial two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

(Personally, I think initiative constitutional amendments are a travesty for exactly this reason)
