Subject: RE: BS: The Pope's Survey
Sorry, Keith - I saw in an earlier post from you in this thread that you support gay marriage, but I forgot. And I don't know if you're religious or not. But still, I can't see why churches (including my own) would complain about gay marriage, more than they do about gay sex. I suppose they don't want to give the appearance of legitimacy to gay relationships - but from a sociological standpoint, there are so many advantages to encouraging people to be married (couples care for each other and cook for each other, and sharing beds is efficient - and warmer). And in this day and age, it seems absolutely ludicrous to expect gays to marry people of the opposite sex. It would seem to me that even anti-gay people would know how problematic that is.
