I came in here looking for this. Now it's found, now I can leave.
You know me all too well and you know how I feel about this.
Love is love. Whether it's deceptive or not is the key.
As long as the couples are past infatuation, I'm cool with them joining in union. But then again, it is none of my business (please restate this for me when you reply, thanks - Swany).
But I do have a right to send my kids to a school where they don't have to misunderstand the only way babies can be made. One man, one woman. Getting around THAT will be a struggle. Adoption is awesome, I just think if we play the "kids will know the difference" card, the result will be the opposite. I'm all about making surroundings simpler, but with this - it's more confusing. Kids will question, and think it's okay to be in love with the same sex, because they see both their mommies/daddies doing it, they'll follow in their example. If homosexual men and women could get around that, it'd be awesome. But it still wouldn't be how their Maker had planned it.
In your reply, make sure to state facts about heterosexual marriages and how long they last, how many people get divorced a year. Yeah, what they're doing is wrong, too. I can say that as well. Just like the unions trying to be pulled off today with two men and two women getting married, it is wrong in God's eyes. Not condemnation, the facts.
I could only hope instead of looking to humans, other outlets (for love) all the time, we would focus our need for it (love) to the sky. To our Creator who loved us even before we were born into this world where we can/do screw up our lives (us includes me) daily. He is the only One who can fill the void. The spot that He designed, where only He can fit, and cure, and heal, and love you. I know, I know...enough preaching.
I'm just facilitating.
Hope.
(God didn't make you that way...he allowed it to happen, so that you would learn something...whatever it is, you can only find out if you ask Him.

)
These are my feelings. I feel like I put pros and cons in here. It's a balanced, not so biased response. If you say I'm closed-minded, it's only because my Savior has asked me to follow Him in that way ("the narrow gate" in Matthew 7:13-14).
