But that's just what your camp does by not letting them marry, opressing them in the military, in jobs, etc.
Marriage, no matter how much you ***** and whine like a little doggy is inextricably linked to religion.
Granted, marriage, in a church, perhaps. But not the union of two people.
As a religious ceremony, no matter the governmental statutes, it is a covenant between the participants to each other and between the participants as a single entity and God. How do you think God feels being maligned like that?

1) You really think God prefers all this suffering rather than have a peaceful world where all his children, Homos or not, can live happily?
It's not even your ****ing place to interpret how "God would feel."
2) I don't see you fundies *****ing everytime an Aethiest couple wants to get married. What's up with that? They proclaim that your God doesn't even exist, yet get married all the time. I'd consider that a greater sin than a bit of anal action.
As I have said, repeatedly, I am willing to meet halfway. I shouldn't, but I'm willing to compromise. I'm willing to let them have a Civil Union as performed by and Officer of the Court, this would allow them the "benefits" of being married without defacing the religious ceremony.
Of course, I'd expect them to pay taxes like married people and enter into legal contracts like married people, you know, the myriad of no so beneficial aspects of being married.
How ****ing generous of you, meeting "halfway" and all.

Though your attitude about it is retarded, I can't say I disagree. Let Gays marry and let them do it in some place other than a church, or leave it to the specific churches to decide if they want to allow the marriage ceremony or not. Not the State, not the Nation.
