Thanx anyway.




It does; gay marriage is establshment of a family, families  adopt children, and here is a need for family for children.  A married gay couple is a indication of  committement to family 





If you had only typed, "SOME families adopt children", I could have agreed with you. Again, I urge you to read the title of the thread and stick to it. WE are discussing the institution of marriage, not the institution of parenthood.





Plus, I am married and have no children. Not ALL "families  adopt children".

"How exactly does gay marriage negatively impact anyone?"


It doesn't, other than the married couple.


"The only debate should stay within the church walls."


We can only hope.

The point is that one of the major criticisms of gay marriage is that homosexual couples can't raise a family, or wouldn't be fit parents.  At least I suppose that was what the poster was getting at, they were really just responding to a point that hadn't been made.


Since church and state are separated (to the betterment of the church and everyone, by the way) it makes little sense to me that there is a debate about this.  How exactly does gay marriage negatively impact anyone?  The only debate should stay within the church walls.

The  homosexual/lesbian occurrence is 7-12% of the population , Number of orphaned children  in US @  100,000.  There is no studied evidence that indicate that same sex couples do not make good parents.  Just a thought

Just because a few from the right have started to "see the light" on this subject, don't fool yourself that there are not many more still pushing to discriminate against gays...or others not true to the Christian faith.

Why, the debate that rages in almost all of America. It's in ALL the papers. And on TV. And the Internets. Shurely you MUST have heard about it? There's this thing called 'the google'...
