Gay Marriage 2	Petesharky	05/18/04
Gay marriage is a choice that should be left to the participants. No one judges a straight couple who marries even if the guy is 5' tall and weighs 500lbs and the girl is a stunning beauty queen. It is not the business of the Church especially who houses so many closet homosexuals that just never knew how to handle their feelings and went into priest hood only to take out their frustrations on young boys and other priests. What business is it of yours who gets married to who? What gives you or anyone else the right to say what is right or wrong, and to use the Bible to promote your hatred and prejudice? Ignorant and stupid is no way to go through life. Who are you to decide who can be happy and who can't just because you think what they are doing is wrong? I am sure I will get a load of quotes from the bible so I will post the first 2. "Let ye who lives without sin cast the first stone." How about "Judge not lest ye be judged." My oldest brother who is 14 years older than me is gay and if he came home tomorrow and said that he was getting married I would be happy for him. Pete

My sil is in a long-term relationship (over 20 years) with another woman. Together they are raising an otherwise unwanted child since his birth 11 years ago (and oh, he is "normal" and straight, chases little girls on the playground), have purchased a house and various other pieces of property, have jobs, a clean house, the requisite dog and cat but without a civil union, so for instance the adoption was by only one of the partners (meaning the other partner has no legal rights regarding the child she loves). If homosexuals have a legal/civil union, what difference would that make to the religious community, as long as it is not called a marriage? I have no problem with that and don't understand why anyone else would. (Oh, and I'm a Christian, fully aware of the controversy.)
