[QUOTE="JB Books, post: 2228269, member: 6889"] If two consenting adults enter into a "marriage," and love one another and share one another's lives, who are any of us to keep them from doing so? One of the problems gays have is that most often when one partner is sick or dies, their partner has no rights. I witnessed this myself with an antique dealer couple my wife and I knew. One partner died and the so-called Christian sister swept in and was the most hateful ***** I ever encountered. She was capricious and cruel and went against her dead brother's wishes. Fortunately, the dead brother got the last laugh, because of the way he styled some bank accounts. Still, if they had done the proper estate planning (as I urged them to do) or if they had been married, the surviving partner would have gotten the house and personal property. They were together 22 years. I've come to believe there are four types of sexual humans (not counting the sickos); straight, gay, people who swing either way and asexual. Sex urges are some of the strongest natural urges humans possess. Unless someone is hurting someone else, how can we judge? That being said, I do not believe gay rights trump everyone else's rights. Churches should not be forced to marry gay couples if that violates the church's theology. Live and let live. There are bigger things to worry about. [/QUOTE]
