You are mistaken. Here is a passage from the book of Romans that speaks to this issue:

Quote:
Romans 1:26-32

26 This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 The males in the same way also left natural relations with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.
28 And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.
29 They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful.
32 Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.

I hope so. What a waste of time and money it is arguing about this. Just let gays get married already.

Case closed.
Why should anyone care about what you personally think marriage is or isn't?

If you want to discuss your personal religious beliefs, the religion forum is that way >>>>>>>>>>

You are right. It does not matter what anyone thinks, including you. Marriage is what it is, and no misguided pronouncement that it is now something other than what it is will change that.

I myself have mixed feelings... the government will lose money now by allowing it
