>>The passing of 'gay marriage' laws serves to validate the homosexual sex itself, don't you think?

This cuts the legs out from under any church that continues to preach against and deny membership to gays on the basis of immorality. <<

Kate -

I wanted to respond to this part of your post, too.

First off, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is legal throughout the United States, with the exception of a few "dry" areas. But that doesn't stop some churches from preaching against drinking.

As for validating homosexual sex, well, I don't think what people do in private is anybody else's business, and the state's sanction of their marriage has nothing to do with it. A heterosexual married couple might enjoy S&M or bondage. Does the legal recognition of their marriage validate S&M?
