To be honest I'm ambivalent about gay marriage. As a straight female it does effect me at all. I do see both sides of the debate. As a Christian I'm not on board with homosexuality. What I mean by that is I could not be a lesbian even if I wanted to. I just can't see a woman having sex with another woman and a guy having sex with another guy. I guess being straight it does not appeal to me. What does not appeal to me may appeal to another person however.
But I also feel it is against Jesus's teachings to discriminate against anyone. I totally support the Matthew Shepard Act and repealing DADT. Homophobia is a sin as well.
The argument anti-gay marriage folks have is that gays are the threat to traditional marriage. I always thought adultery and divorce were. Hmmm.
I have worked with gays and lesbians in the workplace, never been a problem. The lesbians have never hit on me and the gay men never made a pass at other men.
In November Minnesota will be voting on a gay marriage amendment. I have not decided how I'm going to vote on that yet. I know a lot of people, including a gay hospital chaplain who are in favor of it. And I know a lot of people who are against it.
Your thoughts?
