and its not just the Christian community who has issues with homosexuals.
The issue is not gay marriage, the issue is the redefining the term of marriage. (where I come from anyway)

The radical homosexual agenda is equality.

Why do some have so much trouble understanding that?
And then there's the translations and translations of translations - - ya know.

the Greek word arsenokoitai was translated as something like "abusers of themselves with mankind" but today it's often translated as homosexual.
Do you not see the irony?

Gays can marry the opposite sex right now, although they don't want to, and no one is stopping them.
To some, this means that they are equal. For the rest, it doesn't make it at all.

Please let me know when Jesus Christ, the central figure in CHRISTianity, said being gay is a sin. I could point out where Jesus teaches us to love everybody no matter what, to forgive others, and never to judge others, but I have a feeling you won't care.
If you truly follow Jesus, two men marrying each other would not bother you at all.edit on 7-8-2012 by kimar because: (no reason given)
As long as Christians allow bigots to represent them, then you will find that other groups of people who disagree will attempt to call all of you bigots.
