LDS Church expresses disappointment in California gay marriage decision
404 comments | Read story
This right is already enshrined in the 14th amendmendment to the U S Constitution that guaranties equal protection under the law.
Perhaps governments should get out of the marriage business altogether, especially providing special incentives to male-female couples married with or without religious trappings. Religious and social communities could maintain marriage as a recognized distinction in their culture without government involvement. But this isn't likely because the straight majority couples don't want to give up their government granted perks.
Why isn't religious opposition being expressed so strongly in other "family issues" such as divorce? Because that would offend the majority of conservative Christians who see nothing or little wrong with divorce applied to themselves despite Biblical injunctions clearly against divorce.
End the hippocracy!!!
How dare you and your religion that I do not belong to attempt to meddle in politics which effects me, my personal life, and my family. If your church leaders want to define marriage within their own religion, that is wonderful for you. But they have absolutely NO business getting into a political battle which affects millions of gay Californians, a majority of whom, like myself, are not Mormons. In fact, doesn't one of your 13 Article's Of Faith talk about letting everyone worship "how where or what they may"? Live and let live, and don't force someone else to live the way you think they should?
I don�t recall Jesus trying to force people his way and according to his laws. He simply invited those who were interested to follow him. The rest were free to live as they pleased, without judgment or his restriction.
Are you more than Jesus?
