Adam and Eve Defined the Blueprint for Marriage? Really?
What Adam and Eve were not:
Bi Racial - So is it wrong for a mixed couple to be married? Of course not!
Multi-National - So is it wrong for people of two different countries to marry? Of course not!
Infertile- So is it wrong for a couple who can't get pregnant to marry? Of course not!
Elderly - So is it wrong for an older couple in their 60's or higher to be married? Of course not!
White - So is it wrong for black people, Asians, Hispanic, Eskimo, American-Indian and so many more people to be married? Of course not!
These and a hundred other things that Adam and Eve were Not at all and yet people use them as the de facto marriage model. Adam and Eve were people. Just two people. God never once told us to be just like them because we are not just like them.
Just because Adam and Eve were straight and had babies, does not mean that all people thereafter must be and do likewise. Having babies for one would rule out thousands of couples each year and that would be absurd.
The Bottom line is this: Two people loving each other and committing to one another will never and has never been forbidden. And, even if you have your opinion to state otherwise, ok. But why take away someone else's rights?

I like this post, it makes sense. However, being a christian, I'd have to tell you that the bible does say that homosexuality is wrong, because God says so. However I think it says, out of the lust in your hearts, or something like that. In which case, as long as it's love, instead of lust, should it not be okay? I'm confused on the subject myself, and I'm only 14, so I can't say I've read the bible. But here's the thing. A sin is a sin. Just because a gay man is gay doesn't mean he's any worse off then the rest of us, right? We all sin, but some sins are different than others. It also says to love thy neighbor. I'm positive that God frowns upon our judging each other. :)
