Artm are you God to say he approves or not. Much of what is spoken about are peoples ideas and thoughts about what
God is like. And you can see that for many God is angry and frustrated with us. A total different picture from what Scripture portrays.

Come on the divorce rate in the church is higher than out in the world and almost all is not the kind of divorce Jesus Ok'd. And it is interesting that the states that are more conservative and against gay marriage are the ones with higher divorce rates, infidelity and various addictions including food. When will the church stop reacting and judging two people loving one another? Marriaage will still be defined between two people and there will still be the freedom for parents to opt out if they do not approve of teachings or outings. As well any church can still continue to approve or disapprove of gay marriage due to their views and that has no legal issues involved.

The kids think they are standing for righteousness but what they do not realize is that the word homosexual does not exist in Scripture. What they are standing up for is tradition and the church has grown by breaking with the traditions that have existed.

It is interesting that these young kids know nothing about what it means to be gay or lesbian (and yet many do but won't adnmit it). I can guarantee that in that crowd there are hundereds who are wrestling with this issue and are just afraid of the reaction of their peers and their church. Down the road they will come out and see how misinformed they were.

Why are people afraid of two people of the same sex loving one another? Is that not possible in many peoples eyes or is it that gay men are only about sex? God has called us to love and to love one another. Where in world has this unjustified bigotry come into play in the church and into politics. Oh I get it it's the politics of fear.

I wonder if anyone thought about the fact that all the students had an approval to go to the wedding from their parents. Maybe some of you continue to see gays and lesbians as "other" but the realtiy is their parents gave their OK. Two of the kids did not go because they can opt out which they did. Tell me what is so bad about celebrating a teachers wedding. Would there be a fuss if she married a man?
