Plenty to worry about besides gay marriage
N/A

Is there something wrong if two homosexuals want to get married? Is there something wrong with homosexuals? Does being gay make you any less of a moral person than being straight?
Many of the Christian faith believe so. I, however, also being a Christian, do not. Why is it OK for us as Christians to break some rules ourselves, but not for others?
I am pretty sure that many Christians work on Sundays, have sex before marriage and say God's name in vain. How does that make us look when we criticize and judge those different from ourselves? Why does it matter if they want to get married?
I know the answer to that, “Marriage is a unity in God's eyes.” Has marriage not become more of a legal contract than anything?
Let's wake up. We have many more things in this country to worry about than if two homosexuals want to get married.
