Redefining marriage has a negative impact on all of us.
One, in general (with some exceptions) marriage exists to create a family of biologically reproducing parents. Of course, not all couples marry to have kids and some cannot.
And... redefining marriage confuses children. Whom should they marry when they grow up? Liberal and homosexual agenda want to redefine marriage in a way that prevents parents from telling their children that men/women married to create kids thousands of years. If homosexual couples want to commit to each other they can. Call it whatever they like.
And.... don't radically redefine thousands of years of history for a political agenda. What should we redefine next? Religion to include a faith in government? Sounds ridiculous, but no more radical than redefining marriage.
And... I don't want government regulating marriage. Not heterosexual or homosexual couples committing love to each other for whatever purpose. Leave the definition of marriage to religion, from whence it came. Government should regulate civil contracts not religious ones.

Now, people not only claiming that they are the sole owners of the definition of marriage, but pushing that particular definition of marriage into civil law?
Well that limits my right to get legally married to another woman.
You can define marriage however you wish in your place of worship and I would fight for your right to dictate which couples you would bless and which couples not to bless, but could you extend the same courtesy to others and not limit a human adult couple in a stable relationship from getting married according to man's law?
Shesh, what ever happened to "Do unto others as you would have done yourself?" I certainly wouldn't like my marriage to be banned if I wasn't harming anyone, would you?
People need to butt out of our love lives.
Oh, and I'm apathetic.
So, let's stop this tired old "it doesn't affect you" argument. It's not only repetitive and parroted, it's also false.
It's a sin to enable sin, and anyone who participates in a "gay wedding" is morally complicit in sin. It's one thing to choose to do that. It's quite another to be forced to do it, especially in a country where freedom of religion is clearly guaranteed in the Constitution, while "gay marriage" isn't.
People can and do as they want, but the end result will always be that God created Marriage for a man and a woman PERIOD!
Opens the door for humans and animals getting married.
Opens the door for marriage with more than one person at a time.
Etccccccccccccccccc
Close the doors and let's close the borders also!
Now same-sex individuals inflamed with lust for one another are trying to change that, claiming God doesn't know what he's doing, or by even saying there is no God - so they want to write their own formulas for marriage. But many of them won't stop there, because their thirst for ever-increasing lust is unquenchable.
Next these intolerable bigots will want legalized child molestation and homosexual-sex-on-demand in the streets, just like Sodom and Gomorrah were, just before their destruction.
Marriage has always required permission.
Father of the bride, head of the clan or tribe, the lord of the manor, the village minister or priest ...
The US because of Separation of Church and State decided it would be the local judge or the assistant appointed to handle it.
Somewhere, there was a someone who would get very angry if permission was not sought.
And where did I say that two wrongs make a right??
I think it's the height of paranoia to think that people defending equality, is just an excuse to attack religion. I also think that if a specific religion not only opposes, but actively fights against equality, that religion NEEDS to be attacked. Not eradicated, but put into its place. Either we are all free, or none of us are.
