Oh please. I work around mainstream Christians, I guess you'd say, and many are pretty tolerant, which surprised me. Actually I had a conversation about this very subject last week w/ someone and she reads the Bible and takes it literally, etc., but even she said it's not for her to judge anyone. Only God does. I wish more were like her.
How can the Census Bureau determine which same sex people living together are homosexual couples and which are simply roommates living together to save on rent or some other practical reason?
I personally have known at least a half-dozen people who were absolutely heterosexual who temporarily lived with a person of the same sex for many months. Even if a residence has just one bedroom, many poor people end up with someone regularly using the sofa as a bed.
(However, granted, it does seem likely that two people are gay if they have been living together for at least a couple of years, and both people are over 25 or so.)
Marriage is not a covenant before the sky friend of your choice. It is, at its heart, a business transaction. It is a contract to ensure passage of property, title and assets between generations, and to hopefully build that asset base and legitimize future heirs to those assets.
Marriage is a religious ceremony.
Civil unions are legal and thus perfectly acceptable. It is true that in a committed relationship, the ability to enjoy the same rights and benefits, regardless of the gender of your partner, as those who are married in a religious service must be upheld.
You can spin it all you want to defend homosexuality but if you believe in God
marriage is covenant between a man and a woman that become one flesh. The marriage of homosexuals and lesbians, men with men and women with women, is an abomination against God and a perversion against nature.
You mean, your version of God? Your perversion and interpretation of what God is and what God thinks? Glad to see you're also a sinner with your excessive pride.
MY GOD approves of Gay Marriage.. I dont care what your Christian God says. MY GOD has as much rights as YOUR GOD.
MY GOD says every sentient being over 18 can choose to marry whatever they want, as long as the other person or living thing is over 18 years and is sentient enough to give their legal consent. So no animals... and not nearest family.

Who is your god, an elected official or bureaucrat?

Nature is replete with examples of it though, so id go with a solid fake news on that one. It is a perversion of God. But God is just a human construct anyway. Who knows what man will do in the name of God. Heck the New, New Testament could encourage homosexuality in the same way the current one encourages overpopulation.

It's not. You can go down to the court house and have a marriage in front of a judge, nothing religious about it. There's the pagentry side which has at least religious roots although many people have marriages nowadays that are not religious with secular vows.
Civil unions are not legally the same as marriages. Maybe they should be but they are not.
