And how can you say it's not a lifestyle? The manner in which someone lives is a lifestyle. I'd say two people of the same sex living together would be considered a lifestyle choice.
Someone doesn't choose to be gay. Did you choose to be straight? I didn't choose to be straight, thats just how I am. its the same for people who are gay.

Flame on.
That is the problem. People like you cannot or will not keep your beliefs to yourselves, yet want us gay people to stay second class. Keep your bible to yourself, Please.

What are you talking about? What do you mean "people like you"? Are you saying people who disagree with you?

I have every right to state my belief as you have every right to state yours. Mine happens to differ from yours. I'm not saying anyone is second class to anyone else, it's just something I don't believe is right in the eyes of God. I never said gay people are bad horrible people, just that I don't believe in that lifestyle choice.

I will not keep my Bible to myself as I am an evangelist.

Why was this thread started if people are just going to flame others who say no, they would not participate in the gay wedding?

Exactly. We are not a theocracy, and their bible does not apply to me or anybody else unless I want it to.

That's fine, just don't think others should adhere to it.

It's good to know you support equal rights for gays, although it does seem a bit strange you'd be in support of allowing gays access to the legal rights of civil marriage but against attending your own child's gay wedding.
