But it is clear that the change is only a matter of time. It will not be stopped.

It's been stopped (for a good time) in the 27 states or so that have changed their constitution.

They won't amend the constitution. Game over dude.

I'm with you though--I think it's very akin to other legal activities that we don't participate in, and I think it's beneficial for all involved when the government stays out of legislating morality (to the extent that it's possible). |

I don't think homosexual marriage will harm traditional marriage. I think it will raise taxes to pay the increase in benefits.
That's the reason I'm an opponent. I'll give myself props for being honest.

Then one of my best friends came out of the closet....around 2002. She was also affected by that because he was a close friend of ours. We have all stayed close and fortunately, our relationship is even better now (although not without some challenges). Since that happened, we are both of the same mind on this issue. I dont judge your wife and I am sure she is a wonderful loving person. But I am grateful that my wife and I are on the same page because this can be a very polarizing issue. If gays start getting married today, I just dont get how it changes anything my wife and I are doing in our home....what we teach our kids, how we interact with others, our dedication to each other, etc..my wife has expressed a similar sentiment.

Oh don't kid yourself, this takes us one step closer to forcing everyone to gay marry. Whether you're gay or not. That's how this affects you and your marriage.

I'll bet the food at a gay wedding would be incredible.
