    There is no way in hell that will happen. That would be in direct violation of the Constitution and everyone like me who supports Gay marriage WOULD NEVER support forcing a Church to perform a ceremony against their beliefs.

        Who's talking standards? A norm is what it is. Or in this case was what it was since we're talking history. But, hey, that's how it works around here. Every takes a discussion sideways.

          Societal norms change. It's called progress.

                  If one believes that the homosexual act is a sin, then you want the person to stop to protect their immortal soul. But should the Christian (or other religion) do a hellfire and ****ation rant on that group or person? Nope. We were given free will to do what we want. Some of our choices are correct, and some are incorrect. We live with the consequences of these actions.

                  If a homosexual wanted my advice I would say, "Don't do it." But it is always their choice and the consequences (if any) are theirs.
                  So being gay is a choice...right congrats on being completely out of touch.

                  Or did you mean to act on your gay feelings is a choice...congrats on being out of touch.

                  Just remember Jesus loves everyone...except fags, women, gentiles...etc.

                        Societal norms do change. I'm sorry that it's uncomfortable for you, but they do. We progress as a species.

                            It amazes me that we can feel confident about what a man may have said two thousand years ago in a language few of us understand, reported as heresay, translated more than 1,500 years after the fact for the English power structure with a stake in controlling the beliefs of the masses, and shaped and manipulated by policymakers in Turkey three hundred years after he died--yet so many refuse to believe documentary proof that the current president was born in this country.

                            I'm not mocking or questioning your faith, 5mn, just marveling at how we all, as Justice Holmes said, "wager our salvation upon some prophesy based upon imperfect knowledge."

                            If a homosexual wanted my advice, I would say, "follow your heart." We are all fools, and life is to short to do otherwise.

                              You don't see the difference? I sure do. The difference is one is Constitutional and the other is not.

                                When is the norm in history and where? Being Gay was not invented in our lifetime. There are cultures where it has been acceptable over the centuries or where is just wasn't a big deal. Being a history buff this type of comment drives me wild. There is no norm. Things have never been static, different cultures have had different views and all cultures views change about many things. When we like the change it is progress (you can't sell your wife) and when we don't (interracial marriage) then it is the demise of the society. Same sex couples have lived together forever. Now they can say they are spouses instead of special friends.
