I am confused you said previously that you did not want any governance in marriage. Now you are advocating governance due to stop liberal thinking? How can governance be a weapon of liberal thinking while at the same time be a protection from it?

I fail to see how my children asking if being gay is ok is a terrible thing? It it not our responsibility to teach then correct principles not society? My children ask me if all lot of things are ok or not. That does not change what I teach them or their ability to understand. All that we can do as parents is teach correct principles and love them. The older they become the less power we will have in controlling them. Ultimately it is there decision on everything they do. Eventually they will grow up and have the right to make those decisions even if we like it or not.

I think your pets are safe. I think that is a very far fetched fear and excuse. People cannot marry animals and never will be allowed. Marriage by law is a contract, animals cannot enter a contract. They do not have rights as we do and the intellectual ability to formally enter in a contract. To say this is to say that some day an animal will be able to buy a house and own property or adopt children.

I cannot say it any clearer than I've been saying it. Marriage is about God. Being gay is about homosexuals. Bring the two together and you have an incompatibility that is my perspective on the whole thing.

I have thought about this subject for a very long time. My opinion is that Gay marriage is wrong. However the church leadership should be careful about blurring the lines between separation of church and state.

There are enemies of the church lining up to use any excuse they can muster to make it to where the church loses it's non-profit status. If the church can be shown as a political special interest group that becomes all the more possible.

Would I be all up in arms if it became acceptable for Gays to be married? No. If that became the case with eternal marriage then I would be upset.

If the gay people choose to marry, it is their choice. Remember we all God's Childern and we all have been given agency to do what we want to do. If they want to be gay, let them be gay even though it is gross.

I have carefully read through this entire thread. It seems that everyone here agrees that homosexuality is sin and that gay marriage is against God. The primary dispute seems to be rather or not this is an issue we should come out against politically. I would like to add my opinion and experience.

From childhood I had a very liberal attitude, the same as has been expressed by many here, I believed that homosexuality was a sin, but that those people had the right to make that choice.

Recently, I have been studying the scriptures more ardently than ever and praying especially concerning this issue as I have a beloved nephew who is struggling with homosexuality. Through study and prayer, I have gained a deeper understanding and my views have changed.

I never would have thought that we as a people should take a political stand (indeed I was angry when the church announced a political position on this issue), but then through asking for clarification on this issue, I was given personal revelation in Mosiah 29: 25-27

We cannot be so afraid to step on the rights of others that we allow the adversary to build his kingdom. We have to stand strong and united and say to the world, "this is not right!" If we will not fight for the Lord and his kingdom then who will?

Name: Jason

Comments: The thing about gay marriage, and sex between a gay couple, is that it is wrong in the eyes of God. It is breaking the Law of Chastity. We are commanded to only have sexual relations within the bonds of marriage. Sex is for a couple to grow closer together along with creating children. A gay couple cannot create children and therefore is misusing this great gift that God has given us. It is a commandment to multiply and replenish the earth, and a couple of guys could not accomplish this as a married couple.

Jason:

I agree with what you said but in this point, I don't. There are literally thousands of married couples who are unable to have children. Are they misusing this gift? I don't think so.

Very well said!

God is in charge of the womb.So therefore, unless drastic measures are taken, any woman can have a child. Look at Sarah and Rachel, or my sister, who is expecting her first after trying for 10 years. As long as a married couple is willing to accept a child if the Lord sends them one(regardless of whether He does or not) they are not misusing this gift. As far as women who medically, for whatever reason(age, hysterectomy), cannot have children but would still be willing if the good Lord caused a miracle. I think they are fine as well. Just my opinion. Obviously He's not going to cause a gay couple to conceive, as it is physically impossible AND goes against His law.
