Gay Marriage Controversy
The Supreme Court is considering whether it is discrimination against homosexuals by denying them the right of marriage.
The suit was brought after the Federal Court in California over ruled the will of the people who had voted against it. As I have read, blacks were overwhelmingly opposed.
Personally I can accept civil union but am opposed to marriage. With civil union, a couple, whether straight or gay can live together. I can even accept a Justice of the Peace or a ship’s Captain. Marriage is a step too far. I have discussed this with two pastors. One said he favored marriage, the other said he would never participate in a gay wedding ceremony.
My question to you and anyone else who reads this article, is what happens to the minister who refuses to perform the ceremony? Can he or she be sued? Can the church to which he or she is the Pastor be found responsible and fined for inaction?
This is a far more important issue than the Catholic Church’s objection to providing birth control to employees. Marriage is the most sacred of all rites.
In my opinion it was created for a man and a woman to join together and bring forth children in a loving union and thereby maintain the population.
Before you hit me with the response that gay couples are raising children, I have not stated that they cannot adopt.
So that is my simple short effort to state my opinion for whatever it might be worth.
