		<description>&quot;You do realize that you can be opposed to their lifestyle on a personal basis and not force YOUR agenda onto them, right?&quot;

First of all, no one is &quot;forcing&quot; an agenda on them.  It&#039;s called freedom of speech and the freedom to vote.  Second, many people are beginning to realize that there are more than adequate reasons outside the Bible for opposing the same-sex agenda.  

&quot;The only thing that sends a person to hell is rejecting God&#039;s mercy...&quot;

That&#039;s well enough said, but don&#039;t you realize that choosing a destructive lifestyle over the truth is tantamount to rejecting God&#039;s mercy?

&quot;We are all filthy, depraved, and unworthy of heaven without the grace of Christ.&quot;

All who are in Christ can confidently say &quot;We WERE all filthy, depraved, etc.&quot;  Only of those who do not receive the grace of Christ can it be said &quot;We ARE all filthy, depraved, etc.&quot;</description>

		<description>You do realize that you can be opposed to their lifestyle on a personal basis and not force YOUR agenda onto them, right?

Not everyone in America is a Christian, and America is not a country where laws are based on religion. 

I&#039;m a Christian, and I&#039;m opposed to gay marriage on a &quot;me&quot; level, but I shouldn&#039;t force my convictions onto those around me. The only thing that sends a person to hell is rejecting God&#039;s mercy, and it is by that grace and mercy that we are saved. We are all filthy, depraved, and unworthy of heaven without the grace of Christ.</description>

		<description>I feel the need to say this briefly. I am a religious person, I don&#039;t see a problem with gays getting married, and I read this article in full and did my research on it.

While some things in this article are not accurate (Such as the history part, as many gay people have been recorded in history all over the world who have married in a variety of cultures, past and present. You just have to look because many religions and societal laws tried to mask them), I do agree with the main issue of this article. BEING that gay IS NOT the new black. To liken the struggles of the two parties is silly to me. Their struggle is not the same, and while both parties have had certain things denied of them at various points in time, their struggles are totally different, and really not even close to comparable in my opinion. In this aspect, I give this article a 10 out of 10 for putting it into words and citing some historical context. :)</description>

		<description>I meant to include the following in my post of a few minutes ago: lifelong-committed married couples and those opposing homosexual acts and same-sex marriage may become the &quot;new black.&quot;</description>

		<description>This article is very good as far as it goes but would be even better with these further comments. Much of the world has discarded all the main features of proper marriage: lifelong commitment, sexual activity only between spouses (thus, no fornication or adultery), and openness to having children; in effect, resulting in a &quot;marriage-shaped fair-weather friendship,&quot; or MSFWF. Marriage is supposedly primarily about gratifying &quot;loving feelings.&quot; This altered view of marriage is evidently largely responsible for giving an unjust appearance to the restriction of marriage to a man and a woman. See &quot;Why Homosexuals Want What Marriage Has Now Become,&quot; on the webpage &quot;The Howard Center: The Family in America.&quot;</description>
