its not that i'd want to fight, a.s. matthew, i happen to think that "loving gays" means accepting them into your church as they are, for who they are. lets thank God that they can love in the first place, and let God decide the moral issues. i feel strongly that marriage should be a loving bond that is legally upheld by the state. your church is different than mine. GIVE ME RELIGIOUS FREEDOM! gay marriage is a civil rights issue and warren and obama are both wrong on this particular front. separate is not equal and never will be. if people are giving and loving and responsible, they should be "allowed" by our laws to marry in peace and harmony - the way God intended. I would love not to have to "fight" on this issue, but i will Not turn a blind eye to prejudice in the name of our Holiness.
all of that aside, i think its a good thing to cross over political territories in search of true compassion, which comes from every angle. i just wish it wasn't some one who was so famously on the forefront of every issue, including the civil rights/ gay marriage issue - an on the intolerant side.
