ORIGINAL: ToGiveDivine Marriage is a religious sacrament and homosexuality is not approved by the major religions. So, if religion doesn't approve of your lifestyle then why would you want to be joined by a sacrament of the disapproving religion? Why not get a civil union that provides the same benefits as marriage and be done with it? Either A) you want alot of attention or B) you want to tear down religions because you don't agree with them. If your goal is to tear down religion, then you deserve all the crap you get because most of the world's population believe in a supreme being and you are just wanting to fight the world. Homosexuals don't like their beliefs to be questioned or attacked by religion, so why would you want to attack religion in return? Someone has to be the bigger person, if it's not going to be the uber-religious, then maybe the homosexuals should take the higher ground. I have no respect for any of the major religiouns so that is a moot point. I do however have great respect for two people that care enough about each other to want to commit the rest of their life to loving and caring for one another. I don't see marriage as having anything to do with religion unless the people getting married want it to be. In fact, as far as I have seen, our governments are a hell of alot more involved in the marriage process than any church now. I don't believe anyone has to rub it in anyone elses face and use it to tear anyone elses beliefs down. I am a private person not a celebrity, I don't think any marriage I have would end on on People or Enquirer regardless of wether I marry a man or a woman.
